In memoriam Yves Saint Upéry

In memoriam Yves Saint Upéry
Secretary BoD SFTE EC

It is with unbelieve that we received the sad news that on January 4, 2022 our board member Yves Saint Upéry passed away losing the battle against illness. Yves was a respected, dedicated and motivated colleague and friend. He was the secretary of the SFTE European Chapter board since 2019 and a valued member of the society. After his early retirement from Airbus, on request of the board he continued in his position as secretary working for the society preparing for the next symposium.

During his professional career at Airbus he served in several roles in the company for more than 35 years. In his last active role as Senior Expert, he was leading the flight test expert community and supported many colleagues in their development.

We will keep in our memories the fact he was living flight test values day-by-day, always being positive and constructive with a smile on his face. Many colleagues remember how happy he was as the attached picture was taken. He will be missed.

Join me in expressing our condolences, deep sympathy and thoughts to his family at this sad time.

Best regards,
Paul Koks
President SFTE EC
