SUMMARY:Economic Outlook 2023: Fading Downsides
DESCRIPTION:Synopsis \nThe key headwinds of 2022\, sharply rising inflation and interest rates\, currency market volatility\, China’s pandemic struggles\, as well as energy and food security concerns\, have begun to fade. Trade is on the weak side\, tech sector is shedding some jobs\, and rates may not be coming down\, but the global economy is emerging from the punches of 2022 on a decent footing. US and Europe no longer looked destined for recession and China’s pro-growth shift is a major source of support for global demand. Lingering risks include the war in Ukraine\, China-US rivalry\, financial market volatility\, and re-emergence of inflation in late 2023 as demand remains resilient. \nAt the same time\, it is important to note that economies in the Asia Pacific\, many of which rely heavily on imported goods\, are vulnerable to the consequences of supply chain disruption for production and consumption.

Kah Meng SEE from Safran presented trends foreseen in air mobility. Additionally\, we delved into Airbus’s RACER project with Fabrice Rochereau\, showcasing breakthroughs in helicopters. Professor James Wang from Nanyang Technological University Singapore further enriched the session with his dynamic panel moderation. \n🍃 Sustainability & Innovation: Thomas COCHELIN\, Chair of the Aerospace & Air Travel Committee emphasized that innovation and disruption are vital. The drive to decarbonize air travel is not just a trend\, but a necessity! \n🔧 Technological Aspects: \nKey elements in Air Mobility include SAF feedstock\, synthetic fuel\, hydrogen\, and the conceptualization of air mobility as a service. \nKah Meng spotlighted critical trends: \n· The escalating importance of sustainability.\n· Technological innovations.\n· Addressing road traffic congestion.\n· The perception of air mobility as a service. \nCommercial aviation’s roadmap to net-zero: Approximately 35-40% through tech advancements\, 5-10% via operational improvements\, ~50% with sustainable aviation fuels\, and 5-10% via offset schemes. \nOn the horizon: Adoption of lighter materials\, Safran’s collaborative ventures in electric/hybrid propulsion\, and air mobility solutions to alleviate road congestion. \n🌐 Business Dynamics: Professor\nProfessor @James Wang highlighted the 800+ start-ups worldwide focusing on Air Mobility. While start-ups are quick and agile\, industry leaders like Airbus have more resources for R&D. However\, one consensus stands tall: No compromise on safety and regulations! \n🚁 Helicopter Evolution:\nSafran is pioneering advancements in helicopters with hybrid engines tailored to market needs. Meanwhile\, Airbus leads in VTOL technology\, aiming for a sustainable future in both civil and military sectors. \nNotable initiatives include the Racer and City Airbus projects\, which focus on urban air mobility and broader community services such as medical aid\, connectivity\, and eco-tourism. \nThe new generation emphasizes speed\, cost-efficiency\, and a 20% reduction in both noise and emissions. Keep an eye out: the first flight of the RACER project is slated for 2023\, with more demonstrations on the horizon for next year! \nA heartfelt thank you to Valerie PATUEL and Safran for hosting the panel and for the refreshments. \n
