As used as I am in reviewing all sorts of innovative ideas in aviation, the concept that Magpie Aviation presented a few weeks ago really caught my eye.Is this even possible? This was my first reaction when learning about the system to get an electric aircraft to tow, mid-air, a passenger aircraft to its destination that the guys at Magpie have devised.Fortunately, I had met Magpie’s Damon Vander Lind and Andy Goessling, CEO and CTO of Magpie, respectively, at an event in Nice just a few days prior

This year’s edition of EBACE was all about sustainability, or at least that’s what the program of activities focused on.The executive aviation industry is well aware of how it is being increasingly perceived by the public opinion in a context of climate alarm and, believe it or not, it is taking the matter very seriously.Interestingly, and perhaps counterintuitively, there seem to be strong synergies with another segment of the aviation industry that is part of the solution: the sustainable flight

Richard Wand was on the podcast already in 2021. At the time, the company he had founded a few years earlier, Cuberg, had just been acquired by Northvolt, one of the giants of the industry.Cuberg specialized in the development of advanced Lithium-Metal batteries, which are particularly suitable for aviation applications and, since this is a field in which so much is going on at the moment, I thought it was a good time to have another chat with Richard to get his latest insights.The topic is

Gregory Davis heads one of the most talked-about startups of the electric aviation era.In fact, Eviation was already cool when almost no one was talking about electric aircraft and aviation sustainability.The super sleek lines of its Alice commuter aircraft are due to the fact that this truly clean-sheet aircraft has been designed around the batteries, making a truly electric-native aircraft.in this episode of the podcast we review with Gregory the latest developments since he took the reigns of

Today’s podcast guest is leading a firm that is truly unique in the aviation world.Tom Grundy, CEO of Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV) will possibly chastise me for talking about the airship comeback.
