Avoiding boring standards and regulations, at least I will try, this talk will provide insights on how an aircraft engineering programs usually would run nowadays. We will start with some legacy aspects that need to be considered, and that are still highly relevant. Mainly, it will provide insights from security engineering but also provide the insights on classic aerospace system engineering, including the safety aspects. We will close the gap between engineering domains that is omnipresent within the industry. Challenges and opportunities within the development life-cycle of the aircraft will be presented and put into context. Eventually, everything will be linked to other stakeholders within the industry and how they should and can collaborate together. A roundhouse kick into aviation, pure insights.
