European Workshop on Aircraft Design Education (EWADE)
EWADE Member Patrick Berry Passed AwayIt is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our esteemed colleague, Patrick Berry. Known for his kindness and generosity, Patrick's passion for sharing his knowledge left an indelible impact on everyone around him – colleagues at Saab and students at Linköping University alike.After earning his master's degree in mechanical engineering from Linköping University in 1975, Patrick began his career in Saab's aeronautics division, focusing on airframe design. He then specialized in landing gear design and was responsible for the landing gear systems of the SAAB 340, SAAB 2000, and JAS39 Gripen. From there, he moved to Saab's Advanced Design Group, where over several decades, he played a central role in the conceptual development of both civil and military aircraft. As a dedicated teacher at Linköping University, Patrick was instrumental in elevating the aeronautical engineering program to international acclaim. His curiosity and deep technical knowledge inspired countless students, fostering a new generation of engineers who carry forward his legacy of excellence and passion for learning. We will remember Patrick not only for his remarkable professional achievements but also for his warmth and unwavering commitment to nurturing others. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends during this difficult time. Christopher Jouannet

History back to the RootsThe first European Workshop on Aircraft Design Education was held in Madrid in 1994 and was hosted by the University of Madrid (ETSIA). There were approximately 25 participants from 10 countries. Other workshops followed, often with an increasing number of participants. All workshops were arranged with financial support and contributions of the industry. Since 1994 EWADE is know as an affectionate community of people with similar interests. Today, everyone is welcome to participate and to contribute with a presentation or poster. Here is the list of all past EWADE workshops:16th Workshop: 2022 Rzeszów/Hybrid 15th Workshop: 2020 Rzeszów/Online 14th Workshop: 2018 Brno 13th Workshop: 2017 Bucharest 12th Workshop: 2015 Delft 11th Workshop: 2013 Linköping 10th Workshop: 2011 Naples 9th Workshop: 2009 Sevilla 8th Workshop: 2007 Samara Meeting : 2006 Hamburg 7th Workshop: 2005 Toulouse 6th Workshop: 2004 Brno 5th Workshop: 2002 Linköping 4th Workshop: 2000 Turin 3rd Workshop: 1998 Bristol 2nd Workshop: 1996 Berlin 1st Workshop: 1994 Madrid
OrganisationAfter the Madrid Workshop in 1994 it was agreed that workshops would be organized every two years, hosted by those participants who can find sufficient financial support from their university and from their local or national industry. Objectives are formulated as follows:

EWADE in ProseThe European Workshop on Aircraft Design Education (EWADE) is a forum for academic staff active in aircraft design education at European universities. Objectives are formulated as follows: 1.) To allow European lecturers concerned with aircraft design to continue their active collaboration. 2.) To discuss aircraft design problems as regards research and education. 3.) To enhance close cooperation with the aerospace industry for the two aspects mentioned above. – In order to allow local organizers the greatest possible freedom and to keep the initiative open as possible to those who are interested to join at any time, it was decided not to establish a formal organization.The first European Workshop on Aircraft Design Education was held in Madrid in 1994 and was hosted by the University of Madrid (ETSIA). Workshops and meetings followed: 1996 Berlin, 1998 Bristol, 2000 Turin, 2002 Linköping, 2004 Brno, 2005 Toulouse, 2006 Hamburg, 2007 Samara, 2009 Sevilla, 2011 Naples, 2013 Linköping, 2015 Delft, 2017 Bucharest, 2018 Brno, 2020 Rzeszów/Online, 2022 Rzeszów/Hybrid. EWADE keeps in close contact with a similar east European workshop Research and Education in Aircraft Design (READ). Russian colleagues carried EWADE's spirit to Asia and organized four Asian Workshops on Aircraft Design Education (AWADE) in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2022 at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) in China. Since 1994 EWADE is known as an affectionate community of people with similar interests. Everyone is welcome at the workshop to participate and to contribute with a presentation or poster. None of the early workshops passed without expressing regret about the absence of a dedicated aircraft design journal. This situation has changed. Since 2017 the Special Issue "Aircraft Design" in the journal "Aerospace" at MDPI offers a home for those active in aircraft design. The Special Issue is edited by Prof. Dr. Dieter Scholz, who started EWADE's webpage in 2000 and acts as a coordinator for EWADE.
