This episode features something a bit special. Some listeners may know that, previous to being our VP of Industry Strategy, Dale enjoyed a long career in the Aerospace Industry. It was during that time that Dale connected with another aerospace engineer named Tristan Crawford who had a bright idea that could revolutionize how defense aircraft are designed and used. Fast forward to today and Tristan has turned that idea into a company called AERALIS. In this episode you will hear the first part of a discussion between Dale and Tristan on the origins of AERALIS, why breaking the cost curve is critical in modern aircraft development, and how modularity may be the key to the future of military aviation. Please enjoy!
