Born to subsistence farmers in Papua New Guinea, my friend Philip Wayaki continually impresses me for his intelligence and drive. He recently completed Phase 1 of an incredible project and I hope you'll join me in supporting Phase 2. elanhead.medium.com/support-the-fu…

There's rightly a lot of skepticism around eVTOL technology, but @elanhead got under the hood of Beta Technologies industry-first piloted transition. The technical nitty gritty is heavy here in this detailed report from @theaircurrent. theaircurrent.com/aircraft-devel…
A piloted eVTOL transition flight is a huge deal — congrats to Beta Technologies for pulling it off! For @theaircurrent, I wrote about the technical obstacles that stood in the way of this achievement and how Beta worked methodically to overcome them. theaircurrent.com/aircraft-devel…
This interesting story from Washington state suggests that community acceptance will be a challenge not just for urban air taxis, but also small personal eVTOLs operating in rural areas. methowvalleynews.com/2024/04/18/com…
I find myself today coming back to this story written by @elanhead for the third time because it's still so relevant. If you're curious about the history of Safety Management Systems (SMS) -- which is still such a huge topic -- read this, then re-read it: verticalmag.com/features/whens…
The $110 million Series C raise announced today by @Skyports_Infra / @Skyports_DS suggests that serious capital is ready to flow into eVTOL infrastructure development — but only in the presence of solid commercial agreements. My latest for @theaircurrent: theaircurrent.com/feed/dispatche…
Promise of early eVTOL ops in Dubai pushes Skyports fundraise to $110 million (via @elanhead) theaircurrent.com/feed/dispatche…
"Everything is built on LCA. It’s now in every single climate bill out there. Every single standard. Every single consulting company is doing LCA and doing carbon footprinting for companies. It’s a huge industry." Sounds like SMS! heatmap.news/climate/life-c…
There are many competitive rivalries in the eVTOL industry, but when it comes to vertiport legislation, it’s @Supernal_aero vs. pretty much everyone else. For @theaircurrent, I did a deep dive into the conflict and how it recently played out in Florida. theaircurrent.com/industry-strat…
Today’s total solar eclipse, from Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas. #TotalEclipse #eclipse2024 #eclipse #hasselblad #TotalEclipse2024
Happy Eclipse Day! I'm sadly missing totality this year but had an amazing view back in 2017. So excited for everyone who's seeing a total eclipse for the first time! verticalmag.com/news/total-ecl…
Airbus is finally offering free crash-resistant fuel system retrofits for AS350 B3, H125 and EC130 B4 #helicopters — but only for customers in the US. I wrote about the back story behind this decision for @verticalmag: verticalmag.com/news/airbus-he…
I moderate a lot of panels these days, but am especially looking forward to this one at @VoloMission in Texas on May 1. All female, all bad-ass. 😎 Come join us if you're a woman interested in utility helicopter work! sites.google.com/volomission.co…
This story slipped under the radar last week, but I put together an explainer for @theaircurrent on conformity in aircraft certification — applicable to eVTOLs and other types of aircraft, too. theaircurrent.com/tac-explains/t…
Somehow this is still faster than taking Amtrak

I've always thought a helicopter is the best way to see the country but it turns out a gyroplane is pretty neat, too. Tagged along on a 2-day trip from Houston to LA this week, here are a few snaps.
