The Aerospace Executive Podcast
News:Business News
The aerospace and aviation ecosystem has reached maturity, and some of the most anticipated innovations and advancements are starting to bear fruit.
What we’re seeing is nothing short of an Industrial Revolution, and we can expect the next unicorn company to come out of aviation.
What’s driving the massive advancements and the evolution of start-ups is the decreased cost of launching satellites - turning billion-dollar ideas into viable possibilities.
What are the biggest innovations the industry is looking forward to? Why is this such an exciting time for businesses in aerospace and aviation? In this episode, I’m joined by aerospace engineer, speaker, and founder and managing director of Starburst, Francois Chopard. He shares the most significant technologies that are revolutionizing the industry.
"Space could be the new frontier, but the business model is still going to be related to earth. We still want to protect the earth and relocalize what’s not good for the earth and could be better in space." -Francois Chopard
