Aviation in Jetstream Explores the Challenges and Opportunities. Morris Plains, NJ, Feb. While no one can predict the future of aviation, our extensive experience we celebrated our th anniversary in !
Each year, we focus on a handful of the most interesting and enlightening topics in our Jetstream publication. We encourage you to check out the latest edition.
The 1, delegates from around the world were there to talk about the global standards needed to accelerate the development of Advanced Air Mobility AAM. While the Concorde was retired 25 years ago, the appetite for supersonic travel never went away. Today, multiple companies are leveraging new technologies and creating their own to develop safe, sustainable supersonic passenger jets.
Boom Supersonic is one of the innovators leading the way, achieving successive milestones in a steady cadence. Also breaking new ground in this area is Hermeus, which is looking to operationalize hypersonic 5x the speed of sound travel. One of the many adverse effects of climate change is increased storms and the associated turbulence. Even more concerning is clear-air turbulence, which is difficult to forecast and impossible to detect with onboard radar.
A recent study by researchers at the University of Reading confirmed that climate change is causing bumpier flights. However, efforts are underway to address this issue, including improved forecasting and new technologies for spotting turbulence. Consequently, stakeholders are taking a closer look at what causes these incidents and what can be done to prevent them. When disaster strikes, getting help to the site as quickly as possible is crucial.
