AE200 Seminar Series | Aerospace - Beyond the Airframers, Dr. Juan M. de Bedout
Dr. Juan M. de Bedout
Vice President of Technology & Global Engineering
Aerospace Technology
The lecture will provide an overview of the role played by system providers in the Aerospace industry, which work closely with the airframers to produce much of the content that goes into their vehicles and platforms. Several examples of tough engineering challenges as well as areas of important innovation will be shared.
About the speaker:
Juan is the Vice President of Aerospace Technology in Technology & Global Engineering.
