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. He then became a freelancer, working for various aerospace publications and has been part of the AIN team since late 2000. In addition to writing about business aviation, Thierry shares responsibility for the rotorcraft section. He also is a regular on-site writer for AIN’s daily editions at international airshows such as the Paris, Farnborough, Dubai and Singapore shows, as well as at EBACE in Geneva.
In 2007, he won the Honeywell award for “Best systems or technology submission” at the Aerospace journalist of the year awards. In 2013, he won an Aerospace Media Award for the "Best Safety, Training &amp; Simulation Submission."
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.

Dassault Aviation released consolidated financial results for 2011 today, reporting €3.3 billion ($4.4 billion) in overall revenues for both its military and civil segments. This was 21 percent below revenues in 2010. While it didn’t release separate civil and military revenues, data released last week by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association shows that Dassault delivered 63 Falcon business jets worth $2.7 billion last year, down from 95 Falcons worth $3.9 billion in 2010. This indicates that civil aircraft revenues dropped by some 30 percent last year.
