Aerospace podcasts: Yearly roundup 2024
As we reflect on 2024, we pulled together the top three most popular episodes of Talking Aerospace Today, our aerospace and defense podcast that dives deep into the technologies reshaping the industry. This year’s standout episodes focused on three transformative trends: The infrastructure challenges of advanced air mobility (AAM), the revolutionary potential of generative design in mechanical systems and the game-changing applications of immersive engineering in cargo aircraft development. From exploring how cities are preparing for urban air mobility to examining how AI is revolutionizing mechanical design processes, these episodes have provided engineers and manufacturers with practical insights and actionable strategies. Catch up on our top aerospace podcasts of the year to prepare for 2025.
Dissecting infrastructure issues around advanced air mobility
Our first top aerospace podcast of the year was actually the first episode of a three-part series on infrastructure challenges surrounding advanced air mobility. In part one of the series, Todd Tuthill, vice president for aerospace and defense for Siemens Digital Industries Software, was joined by his colleague John Nixon, vice president of energy, chemicals and infrastructure for Siemens Digital Industries Software, to discuss vertiports, how they interact with the energy grid and how sustainability will factor into AAM.
