Régis joined EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) in May 2016 as project certification manager for hybrid and electric propulsions. He comes from the rotorcraft industry, having joined the engine integration department of Airbus Helicopters in 2005 after his studies. He mainly specialised in the analysis of engine-related incidents and accidents, engine air intake environmental tests and engine control system integration, for which he became team leader. During that period, he worked on different technical research programmes focused on the future of aviation through ‘non-conventional’ powerplants. After 10 years exploring the engine integration field, he joined the certification department of Airbus Helicopters. He moved to EASA in 2016 to actively contribute to this new adventure in hybrid and electric propulsion in aviation.
