Marie Owens Thomsen, Chief Economist and SVP Sustainability at the International Air Transport Association (IATA), has emerged as one of the most outspoken voices in the aviation decarbonization debate. Is the European Emissions Trading System (ETS) fit for purpose? Are the EU's current sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandates fit for purpose? Are airlines carrying a fair share of the…
The path towards electric aviation is not an easy one. On this podcast we have talked on previous occasions about some of the challenges it faces, from getting batteries with enough energy density to setting up a supply chain from scratch. One area we have so far - until now, at least! - paid little attention to is that of ground infrastructure. Our guest for this episode, Dr. Stefan Breunig, is…
eVTOL developers promise thousands of aircraft by the start of next decade, but is this realistic? I am not even talking about the long and costly certification processes, let’s assume, for the sake of simplicity, that this is sorted. What about the capacity of aerospace supply chains, already strained trying to cope with the demand from traditional aircraft makers, to serve this new growth…
Blockchain technology has been making headlines for quite a few years, so perhaps may come as a surprise to many of you that its use in fields such as aerospace finance has been rather limited to date. But this may soon change if a Florida-based company, Forum Markets (previously known as ETHZilla) gets its way. On this episode of the podcast, two of Forum Markets’ VPs, John Kristoff and Max Van…
The future of electric aviation depends on progress being made in the battery technology front. This is a topic we like to cover with certain regularity here on this podcast, since things are moving forward…but, are they moving fast enough? No one better to ask this question to than those that are working every day at the cutting edge of this industry. Gerard Torres is the Chief Commercial Officer…
The popularity of flight tracking apps has transcended the boundaries of the aviation community and truly become mainstream. I guess most of our readers and listeners are familiar with the market leader in this space, but what if I told you the competitive landscaspe in this space is far from static? Alex Lungu is the CEO of Wingbits, a ventur capital-backed Swedish startup that is aiming to…
Every now and then is good to stop for a second, and take some time to think and assess what’s going on around you. If you are following the advanced air mobility industry on a day to day basis it is easy to get carried away by a deluge of triumphalist announcements and press releases. But what is real and what is mere hype? Adrian Norris is someone that not only knows the aviation industry inside…
What if the lowest-hanging fruit in aviation decarbonization was not in the air, but waiting right in front of us, on the ground? This is what David Valaer, founder and CEO of Green Taxi Aerospace thinks. A pilot since the age of 16, David has spent his whole life surrounded by aircraft, either spending summers a bush pilot in Alaska, flying F-16 fighter jets for the US Air Force or, later on,…
What is building a large scale battery-powered aircraft was more feasible than originally thought? Our guest on this episode of the podcast, Daniel Rosen Jacobson co-founder and co-CEO of Elysian Aircraft, has come on the podcast to explain how asking the right questions and conducting scientific research laid the groundwork for the truly ambitious project that is the E9X electric airliner. While…
Is the airship ready for a big comeback? This is not some sort of retro-futurist sci-fi scenario, since there are a handful of companies working to develop a new generation modern-day iteration of this iconic type of aircraft. But, in fact, airships and, more generally, lighter than air aircraft never fully went away. The US Navy, for example, operated blimps until 1962 (and experimented with them…
