IPS'AIR is a French airshow started in 2020. It is located in Ivry-sur-Seine, close to Paris. It is organized by the grande école Institut polytechnique des sciences avancées, one of the most important aerospace College in France.[1] It is held yearly in February. The 4th edition took place from the 9 to the 21st of February 2023.[2]

Presentation

The flight simulators are representative of the world of aviation, from the Dassault Mirage 2000 to the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, through the Airbus A320, the Boeing 777 and the Bell 206.[3] Some engines, such as those of the Dassault Rafale or the Jaguar are also exposed thanks to a partnership with Safran.[4]

Conferences related to the aeronautical current events take place.[5] For example, in 2023 Yann Arthus-Bertrand was invited to talk about his book "Mars Terre, destins croisés".[6]

An art exhibition completes the festival.[7] In 2023, visitors could admire the works dedicated to the legends of the sky created by the graffiti artist C215.[8]

History

The first show took place in 2020. Philippe Willekens, head of communication of the European Space Agency came to talk about the future of space exploration.[9]
