Embark on a journey to the cutting edge of aviation with us as we navigate the complexities of certifying revolutionary flying machines. From the adrenaline-pumping certification of wing walking to the integration of eVTOLs, we promise a behind-the-scenes look into the meticulous world of aviation innovation. With our special guest, Lachlan Kilby of Javelin Aerospace, we peel back the curtain on the stringent process that ensures every new aircraft design meets the gold standard of safety, without stifling the pioneering spirit that propels the industry forward.

Strap in as we reflect on the rigorous evolution of aircraft safety regulations, a narrative shaped by hard-learned lessons and technological triumphs. We dissect the meticulous standards that arose from historical accidents, including a deep dive into the life-or-death importance of the 90-second emergency evacuation protocol. Bridging past and future, we contemplate the integration of groundbreaking technologies like eVTOLs into the existing fabric of aviation certification, a quest that could redefine the skies of tomorrow. Join us for a compelling exploration of the balance between innovation and safety at the forefront of aviation's next frontier.
