    summary:Let MM be a smooth manifold. The tangent lift of Dirac structure on MM was originally studied by T. Courant in [3]. The tangent lift of higher order of Dirac structure LL on MM has been studied in [10], where tangent Dirac structure of higher order are described locally. In this paper we give an intrinsic construction of tangent Dirac structure of higher order denoted by LrL^{r} and we study some properties of this Dirac structure. In particular, we study the Lie algebroid and the presymplectic foliation induced by LrL^{r}

    summary:Let LL be an almost Dirac structure on a manifold MM. In [2] Theodore James Courant defines the tangent lifting of LL on TMTM and proves that: If LL is integrable then the tangent lift is also integrable. In this paper, we generalize this lifting to tangent bundle of higher order
