The scope clause's goal is to protect the union pilots' jobs at the major airline from being outsourced by limiting the regional airlines' passenger capacity.1(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_clause#cite_note-1) These clauses exist primarily in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Here is where I should confess that I secretly want Marszalek to succeed. I like technology. Especially technology that comes
You will be amazed howmany windowshoppers you’ll deal with.
Big companies are rarely well-oiled innovation machines, and it certainly doesn’t feel like you’re constantly outpacing the competition.
Productivity—always an issue—has also become a greater pain point. With most aerospace companies focusing on immediate supply chain and labor issues, few have explored long-term strategies for increasing efficiency. They now significantly lag behind other sectors in digitizing manual processes, and the gap widens each year. Operational excellence remains elusive, with many airframers and suppliers struggling to meet their commitments.
The awareness of a sustainable/green economy and long-term energy security has given rise to substantial global momentum in the search for alternative energy sources. The carbon-free nature of green hydrogen production and use, and the versatility of both hydrogen production sources, as well as its end-use applications, have resulted in an unprecedented focus on hydrogen. In 2022, 26 countries have set national hydrogen strategies which forecast 145–190 GW total green hydrogen production capacity by 2030
Hydrogen fuel cells offer a zero-emission power source solution for future sustainable aircraft and are a competitive technology for eVTOL, CS-23 and CS-25 class aircraft, (potentially up to 100 seats), as well as for APUs within future wide body aircraft. Aircraft manufacturing primes Airbus and Embraer have launched their own hydrogen fuel cell aircraft development programmes, ZEROe and Energia respectively, in order to leverage the benefits of hydrogen.
An additional headwind was the nearing U.S. election. “If [Donald] Trump were to win, investors saw a significant risk that the massive green hydrogen subsidy enacted as part of the Biden Inflation Reduction Act would disappear,” Eremenko wrote.
For commercial long-rage airplanes, however, employing fuel cells will be limited due to the replacement of the axillary power unit (APU) in the foreseeable future. Using fuel cells to propel such large airplanes would necessitate redesigning the airplane structure to accommodate the required hydrogen tanks, which could take a bit more time.
When I asked, “What are you working on?” the first words out of his mouth was his fund raising progress. Sigh… What I should have been hearing is the search for the business model, specifically the progress on product/market fit, but I hear the fund raising story first at least 90% of the time. It never makes me happy.
