  • Press Release Communiqué De Presse
    PRESS RELEASE COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT Tribute to Olivier Dassault Saint-Cloud, France, March 8, 2021 – It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Olivier Dassault, at the age of 69, in a helicopter accident on 7 March 2021. An aviation enthusiast, like his grandfather Marcel Dassault and his father Serge Dassault, he was always keenly interested in developing the business of our company. He was born on 1 June 1951 in Boulogne-Billancourt. He was an engineering graduate from the Ecole de l'Air, held a DEA diploma in Mathematical Decision Sciences and a Doctorate in management computing. Following his solid scientific training, Olivier Dassault’s first steps in professional life helped him to gain experience of the communication sector, notably as a film producer and then by creating his own advertising agency. He was a professional pilot since 1975, and jointly held world speed records – with Hervé Le Prince-Ringuet in 1977 from New York to Paris on a Falcon 50 and in 1987 from New Orleans to Paris on a Falcon 900 – and with Guy Mitaux-Maurouard and Patrick Experton in 1996 on a Falcon 900EX from Paris to Abu Dhabi and Paris to Singapore. In 1986, his father Serge Dassault entrusted him with a number of roles and responsibilities within the Dassault company, appointing him Deputy Vice-President for Europe Falcon Service, and then Vice-President of Civil Aircraft Strategy in 1993. He was Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Marcel Dassault industrial group (GIMD) until 2017 and Director at Dassault Aviation since 1996.

The number of billionaires has almost doubled, Iwith a new billionaire created every two days between 2017 and 2018, says the NGO. That’s the global situation. What about in Europe? And what role do European transnational corporations play in that wealth? Among the ten richest billionaires in the world, two are European: Bernard Arnault (France) and Amancio Ortega (Spain). Both of them are linked to large companies. Bernard Arnault is the head of the luxury goods conglomerate LVMH (Louis Vuitton, Sephora…) and he owns several French newspapers. Amancio Ortega owns the Inditex group, known for its Zara fashion retail chain with more than 7,000 stores over the world. Even if most European billionaires are not as wealthy as the billionaires from the U.S., there are still many of them. They come mostly from Western Europe (Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, UK, Sweden…), but increasingly also from Central and Eastern Europe.

  • Un Demi-Siècle D'aéronautique En France
    COMAERO Un demi-siècle d’aéronautique en France La formation Tome 2 L’apport de l’Industrie Aérospatiale 1 LE COMITÉ POUR L’HISTOIRE DE L’AÉRONAUTIQUE Au cours de la période 1945-1995, l'aéronautique française a vécu une aventure passionnante. Réduite à peu de choses au lendemain de la deuxième guerre mondiale, il lui fallait se reconstruire. C'est ce qu'elle a fait avec brio. Qu'il s'agisse des avions militaires, des avions civils, des hélicoptères, des missiles, des moteurs, des équipements, l'aéronautique française s'est retrouvée, en quelques décennies, à l'égal des meilleures. Elle est ainsi devenue capable de satisfaire, au niveau mondial, la plupart des besoins des utilisateurs civils et militaires. Cette réussite est due à des facteurs techniques, industriels, financiers et politiques. Elle est due, notamment, à une collaboration très étroite entre les futurs utilisateurs, les services techniques officiels, les organismes de formation et de recherche, les centres d'essais et les industriels, fournisseurs et clients étant mus par un même désir de renaissance et de réussite. C'est cette histoire que la collection d'ouvrages COMAERO veut retracer. Les rédacteurs de cette collection, membres du comité pour l'histoire de l'aéronautique (COMAERO), ont été ingénieurs d'études ou ingénieurs d'essais, puis directeurs de programme ou chefs de service, au cours de carrières particulièrement fécondes à la DGA et dans l’industrie. Au sein du comité COMAERO, ils ont effectué un travail de mémoire collectif, en faisant largement appel aux principaux acteurs des services étatiques et de l'industrie.
