News
From March, 27 to 31, the US, French & German teams from Safran Data Systems organized two events for customers in the Pax River area (MD) and Fort Worth (TX).
One year after the second edition in the U.S. (Huntsville, AL and then Palmdale, CA), Testing & Training in Motion came back last week for the third edition. On program: training and hands-on sessions, keynote speaker (Pax River only) with our experts from the US and Europe.
On March 28th, we welcomed our customers in Dowell, near to the Pax River Range, Maryland. We had the pleasure to welcome Dave Walsh, our keynote speaker, who shared his tremendous stories. Dave had a 40+ year career as a flight test engineer at Sikorsky Aircraft. He retired in late 2021 and is currently working part time as a pilot. For the last 10 years of his time at Sikorsky he was a senior Technical Fellow for flight test. More details here: Keynote Speaker TiM Pax River – Meet Dave Walsh! – Safran (safrandatasystemsus.com)
