Placement year in Aerospace engineering

Is it worth doing a placement year in Aerospace engineering whilst on a masters between year 3 and 4? Or is it easy to attain employment with a masters only in this industry?

Yes it’s worth doing.

How “easy” is to find a job is very dependent on your competence, who you target for jobs, your cv...

Some graduates fly into industry and have multiple offers from top employers, other graduates struggle. A year in industry will give you
1) experience in how professional job hunting works
2) builds you a network of people you can speak to about potential job opportunities
3) real experience handling professional issues and evidence you can leverage in interviews
