Delving into a new frontier of aviation, "The World of AAM Services and Economics" session at the Advanced Air Mobility Symposium (AAM 2024)! Many consider that advanced air mobility (AAM) paves the way for an entirely new aviation era reliant upon new and evolving services to enable safe and efficient AAM operations. This discussion will delve into how a flexible framework of services might be applied to the wide range of operations and risk levels within the AAM ecosystem. Additionally, markets and demands for new AAM services, and other enabling services, are rapidly evolving, shaping market dynamics and economic landscapes. This session will explore the economics of AAM in terms of costs, benefits, job creation, growth, funding, fees, market access, etc. What are the interconnections between these factors, and how do they influence decision-making, operating rules, airspace design and usage, development, and societal impacts and equity considerations? Session moderated by Okeoma Moronu, Head of Global Aviation Regulatory Affairs, Zipline Confirmed speakers: Justin Erbacci, incoming DG and CEO, ACI World - Airports Council International Carlo Tursi, CEO, UrbanV Richard Cockle, Global Head of IoT, Identity and Big Data, GSMA Event details: Date: 9-12 September 2024 Location: Montréal, Canada For more information on the event, programme and other sessions, have a look at the event's page: https://lnkd.in/exUphMpP #AAM2024 #EconomicsOfAAM #AviationEconomics #AdvancedAirMobility #AviationInnovation

🛫🤯 𝘼𝙑𝙊𝙄𝘿𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙇𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏𝙉𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙄𝙎 𝙑𝙄𝙏𝘼𝙇 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙈𝙀𝙍𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇 𝘼𝙑𝙄𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 ✈️ Despite technological advances, lightning remains a significant risk in aviation. Here we explore how it impacts safety. ✅️ Lightning can damage critical structures like the fuselage and electrical systems, compromising safety. ✅️ Modern aircraft are designed to withstand lightning strikes, but post-strike inspections are crucial to ensure structural integrity. ✅️ Pilots must reroute to avoid electrical storms, leading to delays and increased fuel consumption. ✅️ Continuous training in storm management is essential for flight crews to handle these events safely. Understanding how lightning affects aircraft is vital for continuously improving safety practices in aviation.

Demand is booming again for defense manufacturers—and they need to hit the digital production pedal at full speed to meet this accelerated demand. But in-house challenges such as disparate internal systems and inconsistent information sources still mean that some defense manufacturers will struggle to take advantage of this new level of demand. Digital technologies provide a solution. In this new article for BATTLESPACE PUBLICATIONS, my IFS colleague Rob Mather highlights the four operational trigger points where digital technologies are addressing the issues, while boosting production. Another awesome article from Rob — definitely worth a few minutes of your time to check out: https://ifs.link/d5Ztog #DefenseManufacturing #AerospaceandDefense

A leading aircraft manufacturer faced challenges with long lead times and inconsistent residual stress results from their shot peening supplier. Lambda Technologies was tasked with replacing the shot peening process with Low Plasticity Burnishing (LPB®), maintaining identical coverage and compressive residual stress. Replacing the shot peening process resulted in: • Enhanced Efficiency: LPB reduces processing times and eliminates the need for masking or additional preparation steps. • Improved Quality: LPB ensures consistent compressive residual stress with 100% coverage, contributing to greater reliability in critical components. https://bit.ly/3XULldH #shotpeening #mechanicalengineering #manufacturing

The topic of this article is why Jets MRO cultivates talent by crafting our culture. "The MRO industry is seeing an exodus of retiring mechanics — even as fewer young mechanics sign up to enter the trade." This shortage is why Jets MRO promotes an "employees-first ethic" based on financial transparency, highly subsidized family benefits, and a focus on corporate culture. We prioritize our people first, placing them at the forefront, even ahead of our customers. This unique culture also focuses on engaged leadership and feedback from all team members. We're creating this culture at our new cutting-edge 40,000 sq ft facility at Dallas Executive Airport!
