Jesualdo Martínez Award Notice

The Society of Flight Test Engineers European Chapter has established an award on the values on flight test engineering, mostly devoted to the European environment of our profession.
This award carries the name of Jesualdo Martínez. Jesualdo was a colleague of ours working for Airbus Defense & Space. He was member of the board of the Chapter as director at large. Jesualdo perished in May 2015 in an accident of an A400M during a test flight from Seville airport.

As a memorial for him and all our colleagues killed performing their job, we have established this award.
The candidacies will be received by the European Chapter Board, and the award will be delivered every two years.
The first one will be delivered this June during the 50th SFTE and 30th European Chapter Symposium in Toulouse.
As a memento for the winner, a copy of a special painting will be delivered.
This painting has been created by the spanish artist Mss Aida Mauri Crusat, under the title “Empty Desk”.
The original of this painting will be exhibited at the Spanish Air Force museum in Madrid. This museum is worth for you to pay a visit anytime you come to Madrid.
