The continuous COVID-19 situation made the BoD decide to go virtual for the second time since the EC was established in 1987. This webinar event was held on September 15 and 16 including a key note address delivered by Mr. Rudolf Bischoff FTE and Senior Expert for Airborne Systems Integration, Test & Verification at Airbus D&S Germany. His topic of choice was the theme of the presentation “Driving down the cost of flight testing without reducing safety margins”.

The SFTE EC Symposium 2020 - postponed

Message from the European Chapter President:

The 31th SFTE European Chapter Symposium

These days we all face dynamically changing circumstances with regard to private and business life. Everyone does their best to stay in good health and protect others from being harmed by the Corona pandemic. In the light of the uncertainties regarding the duration of current restrictions in Germany and worldwide the Executive Committee of the European Chapter regrettably took the decision to postpone the “physical” symposium originally planned for 23-25 June in Nuremberg to a yet unknown date and venue in the year 2021.

We started a discussion and feasibility study about a shortened webinar-style presentation event. We are still working out the technical and organizational requirements enabling such an online-event.
