Thierry Dubois is a freelance writer specializing in helicopters, business aviation and aerospace technology. He earned a degree in fluid dynamics from an engineering school in Toulouse, France in the mid-1990s. At an unexpected crossroads, he found his first job in journalism. In 1997, he started working for French aerospace weekly Air &amp; Cosmos in Paris. This lasted until 2000, when he moved south to Lyons.

In other activities, Thierry moderates international conferences on aviation technology topics. Thierry is married and has three children, who seem to begin enjoying the mountains–as their parents do.

In its certification of 3-D digital design data in the completion of Falcon business jets at Dassault’s Little Rock, Ark. factory, one key concern of the FAA was ensuring data conservation. Data has to be kept for 70 years, to take into account the service life of the last manufactured aircraft in a type. One way to achieve this is to convert the data into “neutral” formats that are independent of the software and can be read even though the original computer-aided design tool is no longer available.
