Innovation in Aircraft Design and Technology for Fuel Efficiency.

7 May 2025

At Airbus, they are pushing the boundaries of innovation to achieve 20-30% greater fuel efficiency in next-generation aircraft. From revolutionary aerodynamics and breakthrough propulsion to AI-driven optimization and sustainable energy solutions, discover the cutting-edge technologies set to redefine aviation.  Nearly 130 members attended this event to see how Airbus was pushing the boundaries in sustainable aviation.

Dr Cyrille Schwob, our speaker, is currently head of Research and Technology in APAC, working at Airbus Singapore. He is responsible for developing, managing and synchronizing R&T and innovation activities for Airbus in the Asia Pacific region. He will share this Airbus journey of innovation.

Cyrille is based in South-East Asia since 2010 where he has been in charge of leading Airbus Group R&T activities in the region, which led him in particular to be appointed Chief Technical Officer of the Aerospace Malaysia Innovation Centre.

Cyrille is a graduate from the Ecole Polytechnique and the Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan. He obtained his PhD degree from Toulouse University in 2007 in the field of structural computations and obtained a MBA from the Alliance Manchester Business School.
