The interviewer wants to see if you are keeping up to date with not only industry trends, but also with Airbus and how they fit into the current industry trends that are taking place. A great place to find out this information is looking for recent news articles on what is going on in current news. As of 2020, a great industry trend for aerospace (and where Airbus fits in) is replacing combustion jet engines with a zero-emission alternative. It is worth noting that Airbus has an Innovation page on their website.

"There have been endless breakthroughs in our industry; however, I would say the one that has excited me the most and keeps me on the edge of my seat is the goal of being carbon-neutral by 2020 at Airbus. I would love to know how the organization is doing on that goal!"

"The biggest recent breakthrough in our industry, in my opinion, is the Airbus zero-emission fleet including ZEROe, Zephr, and City Airbus. Each of these aircraft plays a vital role in Airbus's mission to be carbon-neutral and zero-emission. I'd love to know more about how the company is trending on the goal of being carbon-neutral by 2020 and where development is at with those aircraft."

I think the biggest breakthrough would have to be the introduction of complex manufacturing methods that have allowed the implementation of carbon composites in aircraft to improve significantly. The A350, for example, possesses a structure with over 50% carbon composites. It has allowed for the increase of fuel efficiency and performance, meeting today's strict carbon emissions regulations and, thus, extending the life of aircraft.
