Special Adviser, Rolls Royce plc
Propulsion engineering offers extraordinary opportunities and challenges, having contributed hugely to the achievement of superb standards of safety, economy and environment friendliness in modern aviation. The majority of major innovations in aircraft have been enabled by novel propulsion systems. Large R&D investments are required in a wide range of propulsion technologies aimed at enhancing the future profitability and attractiveness of aviation while reducing environmental impact. The fruit of these investments also spill over into other industries resulting in much wider social benefits and economic growth.
Our industry is fiercely competitive with many world class players in the field, at many levels and in many countries. Simultaneously (schizophrenically?) our industry is also very collaborative. Competitors collaborate in joint programmes covering a wide range of R&D topics and together we all aim at further enhancements in environmental performance and safety.
You are all very welcome at ISABE; with its international representation and participation it is the key propulsion forum for collaboration and the dissemination of ideas that will help secure the great prospect and promise that aviation holds.

ISABE President 2007-2015
Vice-President of Engineering And Chief Technology Officer – Honeywell Aerospace
ISABE is a special community. It is similar to other professional societies in that it promotes and encourages research and participation in the field of airbreathing propulsion. Yet, it is very unique in its focus on how we relate to each other and share findings & developments internationally.
No other technical society or group makes international collaboration its focus and ISABE, over its forty years, has been at the center of fostering that type of collaboration. ISABE is essentially founded on the principle that we all prosper and benefit from more sharing and it takes an expansive view of how knowledge grows when we all work together.
By doing that, ISABE is not only bringing communities together from around the world, but also ensuring one of the most pivotal technologies in making the world a tighter, more integrated community – airbreathing propulsion – continues to advance and improve.

ISABE Vice President 2019-2022

As the incoming ISABE Vice-President, it is my privilege to welcome you to Ottawa, Canada for ISABE 2021 on its special golden jubilee anniversary. As a proud supporter of ISABE since its formation fifty years ago, my organization, the National Research Council of Canada, would like to extend a special welcome to all delegates of ISABE 2021.
With the 5th largest Aerospace industry, Canada is an Aerospace nation. The Canadian Aerospace industry is well diversified in the Civil, Defence and Space sectors, generates over $31 billlion in revenue each year, and employs 215,000 highly qualified professionals in every region of the country. Canadians are immensely proud of their aerospace heritage from the Avro Arrow, to the Canadarm. Canada is also a major player in the gas turbine segment, being home to the world’s #1 manufacturer of turboprop and turboshaft engines, Pratt & Whitney Canada. Given our climate, Canada can also claim to be the engine icing certification capital of the world.
Once again, we are delighted to welcome you to Ottawa for the 25th ISABE conference, and invite you to experience the best that the city has to offer during your stay.
