Good morning my friends!

Sorry about this late preview of today’s release, but we had to do some late moment adjustment of it.

I would love to hear your feedback on this episode when you have seen it. I think it’s a pretty interesting one!

Have an absolutely fantastic weekend! //Petter

Is Pilot Pay KILLING Hydrogen, Electric Aircraft Development?

Use code "mentournow" and the link below to get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan: https://incogni.com/mentournow --------------------------------------------------- Is pilot pay threatening to KILL the future of electric or hydrogen-powered aircraft? A lot of companies out there are working on aircraft designs that will use some sort of renewable power source. So, what obstacles are they facing, and… what do pilot salaries even have TO DO with it??

Very informative - I learned a lot. The things I thought of after this were: 1. What about hybrid gas/electric? 2. Any danger of cold temps draining an electric plane's batteries? There were lots of issues with electric cars this past winter having their batteries drained during a cold snap. 3. Is anyone looking into something like soaring? Birds soar and use the wind to carry them. Way less calorie intensive. Could airplanes be made with movable wings to catch the wind? (Air sailing? - at least going from west to east, anyway.) Hybrid solutions would be a good way to get us a little farther toward reducing carbon emissions. It doesn't necessarily have to be all one way - all electric, or all hydrogen. Maybe a combo would be more feasible.

Petter: Consider a different approach, perhaps more into the future than what you've discussed so far, but an integrated national could be USA or USA-Canada and maybe all of Europe in initial scope, but based on a change of political regulation revisions. I.e., a merging or modification of existing authorities to establish an integrated passenger transportation system consisting of appropriate modes depending on the geography of each served region. Example, in USA, a network of rail, bus, and air services not based on fastest vehicles between transfer points, but optimum combinations for slower speeds to obtain lower fares. Envision transfer points consisting of large indoor structures like sports stadiums, with waiting rooms common to all modes. Aircraft in this scenario could be large-but-compact lower-speed, lower-altitude aircraft with airspeeds in, say, 200-knot 17,000-24,000' with range of 500NM, serving routes with legs of 50-800 miles. Lower altitudes / lighter weight due less pressure differential, perhaps with one-class service, more like trains and busses. Goal to operate with about 70 passengers with three crew members. Propulsion using any one or combination of currently advancing fuels, but greatly reduced fuel loads from current operations. Crew with a "Captain", "First Officer/Passenger Manager", and Service Agent. Captain and FO required in "Operation Room" for take-off and landing, otherwise FO working with service manager. "PAX room" equipped with lavatories, vending machines, and entertainment equipment. (And seat-belts, of course) Possibly seating in circular room if aircraft is a lifting body configuration. Terminals would have large doors so aircraft taxi in and close doors so all air operations are contained within one security package. Terminals at suburban locations served by surface rail into population centers, most air strips between 3500-5000 feet. Frequent service between transfer hubs. With such a system if I want to go from my home near Seattle I would purchase my itinerary on-line, drive to my nearest light-rail station. Board first train to Paine Field ( 35 miles) enter "dome", go through security screening, check all luggage except minimal carry-on, and board Moses Lake AirShuttle, where I would transfer to Helena MT Shuttle, where I would transfer to rail unit to Missoula and arrive right in downtown. Private operator companies could bid with the transport authorities to operate each of the legs for a contract period of time. Many possible variations! But overall costs should be less, and except for over-water international flights, could be less expensive to operate.

Hi, I really like how you take on this subject. Thinking ahead instead of looking backwards. Another dimension well worth noticing is how the industry is regarded in the public opinion when it comes to travelling in general. If it pursues a non fossil approach it would most likely also be looked upon in a more favourable way and thereby be able to uphold it’s position as the best way to travel (as it, as we all know, most definitely is).
