#1: Up, Up and Away – eVTOLS in the Age of Digital Transformation

The A&D industry is experiencing unprecedented innovation these days. There’s so much to talk about, from space missions, supersonic travel, urban air mobility – such as the eVTOL aircraft – we’re seeing breakthroughs in composites and additive manufacturing, electrification is a huge deal right now, and the list goes on and on.   In this first episode of the five-part series on Driving Innovation through Digital Transformation”, we’ll take a quick look back at the early days of aerospace – the first wave of innovation – and then we’ll fast forward to the current landscape of the Aerospace & Defense industry and the technologies that are fueling innovation.   I am your host, Scott Salzwedel, and I am joined by Dale Tutt, the go-to guy for all things aerospace & defense, to discuss these topics that I’m sure will pique your interest. Dale is the Vice President of Aerospace & Defense at Siemens Digital Industries Software. He has over 30 years of experience in engineering design, development, and program leadership within the aerospace industry. Dale specializes in building highly effective, cross-functional teams to achieve complex operations when building today’s aircraft. Before Siemens, he worked at The Spaceship Company, Textron Aviation, and Bombardier Aerospace.   Tune in to Talking Aerospace Today, and join us to learn the latest developments in the A&D industry, and what the future brings with all this complexity and innovation that is currently happening.     In this episode, you will learn: The early days of modern aviation.
