ESIEE (previously named École supérieure d'ingénieurs en électrotechnique et électronique [ekɔl sypeʁjœʁ dɛ̃ʒenjœʁ ɑ̃.n‿elɛktʁɔtɛknik e elɛktʁɔnik] ) is a network of French graduate schools ("French Grande Ecole") composed of two graduate schools of engineering known as ESIEE Paris , ESIEE Amiens , and one graduate school of management called ESIEE Management .
17-767: In 1904 the Breguet school was founded and kept this name until the 1960s. It was a graduate school of engineering in the field of electronics and electricity. In 1968 the school was renamed ESIEE Paris and is operated by the Paris Chamber of Commerce . In 1992 another branch of the school opened in Amiens; ESIEE Amiens . In 1995 the ESIEE Management was created (formerly known as the Institut Supérieur de Technologie et de Management ). ESIEE Paris
34-493: A forward elevator, as used by the Wright Brothers and Gabriel Voisin , and in using a steel structure when wood was the material of choice for most builders at the time. The engine was mounted at the front of the aircraft in a square section nacelle projecting forwards from the lower wing, driving a three-bladed propeller. The upper wing was built in three separate sections, with the entire outer sections pivoting about
51-657: A major role in the plot of the 1927 thriller So Disdained by Nevil Shute . In 1919 he founded the Compagnie des messageries aériennes , which evolved into Air France . Over the years, his aircraft set several records. A Breguet plane made the first nonstop crossing of the South Atlantic in 1927. Another made a 4,500-mile (7,200 km) flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1933, the longest nonstop Atlantic flight up to that time. He returned to his work on
68-594: A smaller lower surface, with a pair of rudders filling the gap between them. The undercarriage consisted of a pair of forward-projecting skids with a small wheel mounted between them, supplemented by outrigger wheels on each wingtip. Power was provided by a 60 hp (45 kW) Renault V-8 engine. The machine was displayed without an engine at the Olympia Aero Show in London in March 1909 and first took to
85-498: Is a business school for high tech projects where management and technologies are inseparable. Courses are based on learning management concepts and the knowledge of a technical subject. The academic disciplines and the 10 months of internship allow graduate students to be quickly effective in companies. The possibility to spend the third year in a foreign country gives the opportunity for students to pursue an international career. The academic specializations are: The three schools share
102-528: Is a general engineering school. All engineering students of ESIEE Paris hold the same degree : "Diplôme d'ingénieur ESIEE Paris" (master of Engineering ESIEE Paris). The school is accredited by Cti and Eur-Ace . Approximately 500 of the 2,200 students in Paris graduate every year and 60% of them spent at least 1 semester studying or working outside France. Depending on their specialization, they can attend classes in its 650 m (7000 ft) clean room . It
119-637: Is also named after him. He died of a heart attack in 1955 at Saint-Germain-en-Laye . In 1980, Breguet was inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame at the San Diego Air & Space Museum . Breguet, as helmsman of his 8-metre (26 ft) yacht Namousa , won a bronze medal in sailing during the 1924 Summer Olympics . Breguet Type I The Breguet Type I was an experimental aircraft built in France in 1909. It
136-569: Is known as the first engineering school to have students design and launch an artificial satellite , named SARA, in 1991, as part of extracurricular work in ESIEESPACE , a student club. During the last two years, students in Paris choose a specialization among the following subjects: ESIEE launched master of science programs in nano-science MEMS, electronic engineering and system on a chip , programs to which international students and 4th and 5th year ESIEE students may participate. ESIEE Paris
153-516: Is one amongst the top 10 Grandes écoles in the post-bac category (as opposed to post-prépa ) according to the French magazine L'Étudiant in 2013 and the school is graduated as first in Paris Region in 2020. Approximately 80 of the 450 students in Amiens graduate every year. During the last two years, students in Amiens choose a specialization among the following subjects: ESIEE Management
170-553: The French in World War I and through the 1920s. One of the pioneers in the construction of metal aircraft, the Breguet 14 single-engined day bomber, perhaps one of the most widely used French warplanes of its time, had an airframe constructed almost entirely of aluminium structural members. As well as the French, sixteen squadrons of the American Expeditionary Force also used it. A plane of this type has
187-657: The gyroplane in 1935. Created with co-designer René Dorand, the craft, called the Gyroplane Laboratoire , flew by a combination of blade flapping and feathering. On 22 December 1935 it established a speed record of 67 mph (108 km/h). It was the first to demonstrate speed as well as good control characteristics. The next year, it set an altitude record of 517 feet (158 m). Breguet remained an important manufacturer of aircraft during World War II and afterwards developed commercial transports. Breguet’s range equation , for determining aircraft range ,

#1732791491976204-407: The main spar for control purposes, while the lower wings, which had a smaller wingspan , were divided into two pivoting planes, with a large gap between them in place of a centre section. The wings were connected by four steel tube interplane struts, each enclosed in a streamlined fairing. The tail surfaces were mounted on four cross-braced steel booms and consisted of a large-span upper elevator and
221-581: The same alumni association called AA-ESIEE. The mission of the association is to strengthen and support the alumni network of ESIEE by developing contacts, friendship and mutual assistance among its members. The AA-ESIEE is headquartered in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. Louis Charles Breguet Louis Charles Breguet ( French pronunciation: [lwi ʃaʁl bʁeɡɛ] ; 2 January 1880 in Paris – 4 May 1955 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye )
238-645: Was Louis Bréguet 's first fixed-wing aircraft design. Breguet had previously had some success with two helicopter designs, one of which had been exhibited at the Paris Aero Salon in December 1908. Because of these machines, the Type I was at first known as the Breguet Type III. The Breguet Type 1 differed from most biplane designs of the time by being of tractor configuration and not having
255-421: Was a French aircraft designer and builder, one of the early aviation pioneers . Louis Charles Breguet was the grandson of Louis-Francois-Clement Breguet , and great-great-grandson of the famous horologist Abraham-Louis Breguet . In 1902 Louis married Nelly Girardet, the daughter of painter Eugène Girardet . They had five children together. In 1903, he graduated from École supérieure d'électricité , which
272-629: Was also not a free flight, as four men were used to steady the structure. He built his first fixed-wing aircraft, the Breguet Type I , in 1909, flying it successfully before crashing it at the Grande Semaine d'Aviation held at Reims. In 1911, he founded the Société anonyme des ateliers d’aviation Louis Breguet . In 1912, Breguet constructed his first hydroplane . He is especially known for his development of reconnaissance aircraft used by
289-407: Was the top electrical engineering school in France. In 1905, with his brother Jacques, and under the guidance of Charles Richet , he began work on a gyroplane (the forerunner of the helicopter ) with flexible wings. On 29 September 1907, at his workshop at La Brayelle , it achieved the first ascent of a vertical-flight aircraft with a pilot, albeit only to a height of 0.6 metres (2.0 ft). It
