Podcasts about Airspace

If you were curating a mixtape that might be heard by aliens billions of years from now - but definitely would be seen by your fellow Earthlings - what would you put on it? In 1977, two Voyager spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral on a journey that would take them beyond our solar system. Affixed to the side of these two planetary explorers was the Voyager Golden Record — the ultimate mixtape of humanity — containing 27 pieces of music as well as pictures and sounds of Earth. But how did these selections get made? Nearly 50 years later, we're teaming up with our friends at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's podcast, AirSpace, to explore what's on the record, how it got made, and its legacy.Learn more about AirSpace! Airspace Hosts: Matthew Shindell, curator of space history at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space MuseumEmily Martin, planetary geologist at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space MuseumGuests:Ann Druyan, Voyager Golden Record Creative DirectorLawrence Azerrad, Co-founder of Macroscopic

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, Stewart Alsop III talks with Bobby Healy, CEO and co-founder of Manna Drone Delivery, about the evolving frontier where the digital meets the physical—specifically, the promise and challenges of autonomous drone logistics. They explore how regulatory landscapes are shaping the pace of drone delivery adoption globally, why Europe is ahead of the U.S., and what it takes to build scalable infrastructure for airborne logistics. The conversation also touches on the future of aerial mobility, the implications of automation for local commerce, and the philosophical impacts of deflationary technologies. For more about Bobby and Manna, visit mana.aero or follow Bobby on Twitter at @RealBobbyHealy.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 – Stewart Alsop introduces Bobby Healy and opens with the promise vs. reality of drone tech; Healy critiques early overpromising and sets the stage for today's tech maturity.05:00 – Deep dive into FAA vs. EASA regulation, highlighting the regulatory bottleneck in the U.S. and the agility of the EU's centralized model.10:00 – Comparison of airspace complexity between the U.S. and Europe; Healy explains why drone scaling is easier in the EU's less crowded sky.15:00 – Discussion of urban vs. suburban deployment, the ground risk challenge, and why automated (not fully autonomous) operations are still standard.20:00 – Exploration of pilot oversight, the role of remote monitoring, and how the system is already profitable per flight.25:00 – LLMs and vibe coding accelerate software iteration; Healy praises AI-powered development, calling it transformative for engineers and founders.30:00 – Emphasis on local delivery revolution; small businesses are beating Amazon with ultra-fast drone drop-offs.35:00 – Touches on Latin America's opportunity, Argentina's regulatory climate, and localized drone startups.40:00 – Clarifies noise and privacy concerns; drone presence is minimal and often unnoticed, especially in suburbs.45:00 – Final thoughts on airspace utilization, ground robots, and the deflationary effect of drone logistics on global commerce.Key InsightsDrone Delivery's Real Bottleneck is Regulation, Not Technology: While drone delivery technology has matured significantly—with off-the-shelf components now industrial-grade and reliable—the real constraint is regulatory. Bobby Healy emphasizes that in the U.S., drone delivery is several years behind Europe, not due to a lack of technological readiness, but because of a slower-moving and more complex regulatory environment governed by the FAA. In contrast, Europe benefits from a nimble, centralized aviation regulator (EASA), which has enabled faster deployment by treating regulation as the foundational "product" that allows the industry to launch.The U.S. Airspace is Inherently More Complex: Healy draws attention to the density and fragmentation of U.S. airspace as a major challenge. From private planes to hobbyist aircraft and military operations, the sheer volume and variety of stakeholders complicate the regulatory path. Even though the FAA has created a solid framework (e.g., Part 108), implementing and scaling it across such a vast and fragmented system is slow. This puts the U.S. at a disadvantage, even though it holds the largest market potential for drone delivery.Drone Logistics is Already Economically Viable at a Small Scale: Unlike many emerging technologies, drone delivery is already profitable on a per-flight basis. Healy notes that Manna's drones, operating primarily in suburban areas, achieve unit economics that allow them to scale without needing to replace human pilots yet. These remote pilots still play a role for oversight and legal compliance, but full autonomy is technically ready and likely to be adopted within a few years. This puts Manna ahead of competitors, including some well-funded giants.Suburban and Rural Areas Will Benefit Most from Drone Delivery First: The initial commercial impact of drone delivery is strongest in high-density suburban regions where traditional logistics are inefficient. These environments allow for easy takeoff and landing without the spatial constraints of dense urban cores. Healy explains that rooftops, parking lots, and small-scale launch zones can already support dozens of flights per hour. Over time, this infrastructure could rebalance urban and rural economies by enabling local producers and retailers to compete effectively with large logistics giants.Drone Logistics Will Redefine Local Commerce: One of the most compelling outcomes discussed is how drone delivery changes the playing field for small, local businesses. Healy shares an example of a local Irish bookstore now beating Amazon on delivery speed thanks to Manna's platform. With a six-minute turnaround from purchase to backyard delivery, drone logistics could dramatically lower barriers to entry for small businesses, giving them access to modern fulfillment without needing massive infrastructure.Massive Deflation in Logistics Could Lead to Broader Economic Shifts: Healy argues that drone delivery, like AI, will drive a deflationary wave across sectors. By reducing the marginal cost of transportation to near zero, this technology could increase consumption and economic activity while also creating new jobs and opportunities in non-urban areas. This shift resembles the broad societal transformation brought on by the spread of electricity in the early 20th century—ubiquitous, enabling, and invisible.Drones Could Transform Defense Strategy Through “Mutually Assured Defense”: In a thought-provoking segment, Healy discusses how cheap, scalable drone technology might shift the geopolitical landscape. Instead of focusing solely on destruction, drones could enable countries to build robust “defense clouds” over their borders—creating a deterrent similar to nuclear weapons but more accessible and less catastrophic. He proposes that wide-scale deployment of autonomous defensive drones could prevent conflicts by making invasion logistically impossible.

India-Pakistan Tensions Rise After Indus Waters Treaty Suspension Just a day after India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, Pakistan retaliated by calling the move an “Act of War.” Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired an emergency meeting, announcing a series of countermeasures—halting all trade with India, expelling Indian diplomats, closing airspace to Indian carriers, and putting the 1972 Simla Agreement “in abeyance.” But can Pakistan afford a war? The numbers say no. Foreign reserves stand at just $11.09 billion, barely covering two months of imports. With $131 billion in external debt and $100 billion due in repayments over the next four years, Islamabad is walking a fiscal tightrope. Its economic lifeline, a $7 billion IMF bailout, is arriving in slow trickles amid warnings of “formidable vulnerabilities.” Political instability adds to the volatility. While rhetoric from Islamabad is heating up, experts warn a full-blown escalation could tip Pakistan deeper into economic crisis. 2. Airspace Closed, Ticket Prices Climb Pakistan's closure of airspace to Indian airlines is already causing turbulence. Airlines like Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Akasa Air are now forced to reroute via the UAE or Iran, adding over an hour of flight time. The result? A potential 35–40% surge in international ticket prices, according to aviation experts. Affected routes include key flights to the US, UK, Europe, and Middle East. Meanwhile, India has suspended visa services for Pakistani nationals. Though ICAO permits such restrictions for security, bilateral coordination is now unlikely, signaling worsening diplomatic frostbite. Hospitals in India are rushing to treat Pakistani patients before a May 1 deadline, with critical medical cases—especially children—caught in the crossfire. 3. Tesla May Finally Set Up Shop in India India's EV policy may soon get a revamp—and Tesla could be the biggest beneficiary. A senior government official said India is open to revising its electric vehicle manufacturing policy once tariff terms are finalised under the India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement. At stake is the Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars in India, which slashes import duties from 70–80% to 15% for up to 8,000 imported EVs annually for five years. While the scheme had no takers initially, Tesla's February hiring spree in India signals renewed interest. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, commenting on the broader trade talks, said, “There's a serious lack of reciprocity” with India. With both sides looking to strike balance on tariffs and access, Tesla's India debut could mark a turning point in EV manufacturing for the region. 4. Maruti Suzuki Braces for Earnings Slowdown India's auto giant Maruti Suzuki is expected to post a muted Q4 today, with revenue growth of 7% and profit likely down by 4%, say brokerages. Margins are squeezed by higher marketing spends and discounts, with Ebitda likely shrinking by 44 basis points. Inventory levels have surged—from 9 days in January to over 40 now—forcing the company to scale back wholesale dispatches. Still, Maruti sold over 6 lakh vehicles in Q4. Key things to watch: Demand outlook as income tax relief and RBI rate cuts play out. Export risk, especially amid Trump's 25% tariffs on autos. The lukewarm launch of Maruti's first EV, the e-Vitara, which has seen slow bookings ahead of a May-June delivery window. Despite the slowdown, Maruti's stock has climbed 6% this year, outpacing the Nifty Auto index. But investors are looking to today's earnings call for clues on whether the momentum can return.

Bats are the only mammals that truly fly. And the way they do it is very different from other flying things. The way they fly has only recently been understood and there are still questions. Scientist and engineers are trying to use what they do know to create bat-inspired flying machines, but things like bats self-cambering stretching wings skin, skeleton muscles and tiny hair sensors are proving difficult to replicate. Thanks to our guests in this episode: Dr. Sharon Swartz-Brown University Dr. Nancy Simmons-American Museum of Natural History  Find the transcript here.AirSpace is created by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with generous support from Lockheed Martin.

Since the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he has passed freely through France's airspace in early February and April of this year. French lawyer Sarah Sameur, a member of the Council for JURDI, Jurists for the Respect of International Law, explains how France has been derelict as a signatory to the Rome Statute in not apprehending the plane. She rebuts French officials' claims that France's airspace did not fall under its jurisdiction in this case.

There are a lot of different aircraft that fight wildfires, from Host Matt's favorite Sky Crane helicopter to giant cargo jets that dump tons of fire retardant. But today we're taking about a truly unique, purpose-built firefighting airplane: the Super Scooper. This plane skims the surface of a body of water, collects a shocking amount through tiny scoop ports, flies off, and dumps it on a wildfire. We talk to a pilot about what it's like to fly one.Thanks to our guest in this episode:Scott Blue, Pilot, Bridger AerospaceFind the transcript here.AirSpace is created by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with generous support from Lockheed Martin.

In this episode, I'm looking back at our earlier debate ignited by a listener's comment on aerial privacy and the law. Joining me in the clip I reference is Troy Hendrickson, one of the two sharp law students from our They Don't Teach You That in Law School series.We're exploring the question: What happens when airplanes fly over your property? Do you have any reasonable expectation of privacy from above? I'll explain how the law strives to balance fixed rules with the need for flexibility in an ever-changing world, especially with advancements in surveillance technology. Here are 3 key takeawaysApplying Rules to Extremes: Lawyers often use seemingly far-fetched examples to test legal rules to their logical extremes, helping to identify exceptions and crafting rules that are both robust and adaptable.Evolving Legal Frameworks: As technology advances, the law must evolve too. Crafting legal rules involves finding a balance between providing clarity and adapting to unforeseen technological advancements.Dynamic vs. Rigid Law: A major theme is finding the balance between finality and adaptability in the law, allowing it to be both definitive for current use and flexible enough to suit future scenarios.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

If you haven't listened already, go back and check out Part One. When you hear 'space race' you probably (correctly) think about the 1960s Soviet Union v. U.S. race to put an astronaut on the Moon. But a few hundred years before, the space race was all about Venus. About twice every century we here on Earth get to see Venus pass in the front of the Sun. Back the 18th and 19th centuries, this was a Big Deal. At the time, all astronomers wanted to be the first to use the transit of Venus to figure out the distance between the Earth and the Sun. In Part Two we're bringing you more adventures to observe the transit and talking about what the result (or lack of results) meant for astronomy.Thanks to our guests in this episode: Ted Rafferty, formerly of the United States Naval Observatory Dr. Samantha Thompson, Astronomy Curator - National Air and Space Museum Find the transcript here.AirSpace is created by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with generous support from Lockheed Martin.

The mystery drones are back. Senators and Pentagon officials met privately to address ongoing sightings of unidentified drones over U.S. airspace, as 60 Minutes and NewsNation detail growing military concerns. Meanwhile, fallout continues from the leaked Signal app chat where U.S. officials accidentally exposed war plans—and their disdain for Europe. Plus, NATO issues a stern warning to Putin, the EU urges citizens to prepare for crisis, and global tensions rise over sanctions, ceasefires, and forced migration in Gaza.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

The oldest Earth rocks we have are 4.3 billion years old, and samples we've brought back from the Moon are even older. But what does that have to do with craters on Mars? When the Apollo missions brought back samples, those rocks let us confirm the age of parts of our lunar bestie for the first time. Now, scientific models use data from those samples to extrapolate the age of other geologic events in our Solar System. Thanks to our guest in this episode: Dr. Beau Bierhaus, Senior Research Scientist - Lockheed Martin*Sign up here for the monthly AirSpace newsletterFind the transcript here.Take our listener survey at s.si.edu/airspace2025Find the transcript here.AirSpace is created by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with generous support from Lockheed Martin*AirSpace is editorially independent from its sponsors

Our show opens with horrific news that Hamas says a kidnapped mother and her two babies, now ages 2 and 5, are dead and they will be turning over their bodies. It's a reminder that a culture of death cannot co-exist with a culture of life. I once again get additional comment to that effect from independent Australian news reporter Erin Molan. We then look at the Delta flight that hit the runway so hard, it lost it's landing gear and rolled onto it's roof. The Legacy/mainstream media and the Left are desperate to hang this around Donald Trump and his cuts. It fails at every level, but they keep trying to use lies, fear and propaganda to shake loose his supporters. Attorney Alina Habba reminds everyone that while the Left wants to claim getting a Temporary Protection Order (“TPO”) as a win, it's only just that – temporary. In most of the cases, they are being overturned. White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told audience much the same, having to constantly fight fake news and false narratives. Yet, even MSNBC had to painfully admit that judges are siding with the Trump administration. When it comes to cutting fat in a failing institution, Kevin O'Leary tells a CNN panel that you should always cut 20% more than you think. He believes all of the departments in the Federal government need to be greatly reduced. In a sudden shift, former Covid Czar Dr. Deborah Brix now suggests that the mRNA vaccine wasn't a normal vaccine and that it wasn't meant for young or healthy people. She is literally gaslighting everything she and all of public health pushed. Not everyone in the EU was upset at the speech VP JD Vance delivered. In fact, it's becoming a rallying cry for those who are tired of the globalist agenda taking root in all of Western Europe. On a similar note, swing voters are very happy at the pace and direction of the Trump presidency. Much to CNN's dismay, pollster Frank Luntz had to admit that people who think of themselves as Democrats and had voted that way until 2024, are very happy with the direction the country is headed. We wrap up with the wit and humor of Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA). He basically articulates the same things we've been wondering. With so many in the country liking the changes Trump is bringing, how do they think being “the Resistance” is a winning message?

Nick Lappos, former Vietnam AH-1 Cobra helicopter pilot and Lockheed Martin Senior Fellow for Rotary and Mission Systems, offers insights on the future of air mobility. The focus is on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and advanced air mobility (AAM).Nick was part of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) certification task force that just published the report "Challenges to the Commercialization of Advanced Air Mobility.” He shares his expertise on air traffic management. Together with Greg Feith, John Goglia and Todd Curtis, he digs into the challenges of integrating UAVs into the air traffic control system. They explore what will be needed to manage all types of air vehicles. The AIAA report outlines a technological framework reminiscent of cell phone networks where UAVs are handled in real time in an autonomous or semi-autonomous way.UAVs are expected play a significant role in delivery services and other commercial uses. The discussion covers various aspects of UAV integration, including the certification of vehicles, electronic systems, air traffic control issues, and the economic implications of UAV technology. Extensive planning and cooperation should begin now to ensure a safe future for air space.  Don't miss what's to come from the Flight Safety Detectives - subscribe to the Flight Safety Detectives YouTube channel, listen at your favorite podcast service and visit the Flight Safety Detectives website.

Both aircraft crashed into the Potomac River in Washington. D.C. officials believe the three soldiers in the helicopter and all 64 passengers and crew aboard the airplane were killed. Today on “Post Reports,” host Elahe Izadi and transportation reporter Lori Aratani break down what we know about the collision, the close calls faced around Reagan National Airport in the recent past, and President Donald Trump's baseless claims that diversity, equity and inclusion programs within the Federal Aviation Administration were to blame for the crash. Today's show was produced by Bishop Sand and Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was mixed by Sam Bair and edited by Reena Flores.

The SpaceX Starship explosion causes airline flight diversions, DJI changes its geofencing feature for drone flights, synthetic aviation fuel eyed for military aircraft, Boeing resumes 777X certification flight tests. Aviation News SpaceX Starship Explosion Causes Flight Diversions The January 16 launch of the SpaceX Starship was successful, and the launch tower caught the returning booster with its “chopsticks,” but the spacecraft was lost about 8 minutes into the flight. According to data from FlightRadar24, multiple aircraft, including those flying routes for American Airlines, JetBlue, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines, were placed in holding patterns or landed prior to reaching their final destination.

The impact of space launches on airline operations and the FAA notification process: FAA: Airspace Integration FAA Safely Keeps More Airspace Open During Most Florida Space Launches Impacts of Space Launch Operations on Florida East Coast Airspace Users Impact of Commercial Space Launch Activities on Aviation [PDF] Video: Safe Integration of Space Launches https://youtu.be/bTfEykjnbek?si=RiIaUCqefR6SwCbi DJI will no longer stop drones from flying over airports, wildfires, and the White House and DJI Updates GEO System in U.S. Consumer & Enterprise Drones DJI drone control software includes a geofencing feature called Geospatial Environment Online (GEO). It's designed to preventing drones from flying in restricted or sensitive areas. DJI's geofencing will now use FAA data instead of DJI datasets. What was previously defined as a Restricted Zone (also known as No-Fly Zone) will be called Enhanced Warning Zones with a warning that the operator can dismiss. DJI says “this shift puts more responsibility on drone operators to comply with airspace regulations and avoid restricted areas.” The company also notes that Remote ID solutions make detection and enforcement “much easier.” Lockheed Martin Approves Use of Synthetic Aviation Turbine Fuels for F-35 Fleet See: Sustainable aviation fuel approved for Boeing-built military aircraft The Air Force partners with Twelve, proves it's possible to make jet fuel out of thin air Twelve Announces $645 Million in Funding Led by TPG to Transform CO2 into Jet Fuel and Electrochemicals at Scale Twelve to produce 50,000 gallons of SAF annually at pilot plant, CEO says From Twelve: “E-Jet® SAF jet fuel made from air with up to 90% lower emissions than conventional fuel. It's a Power-to-Liquid e-fuel made from CO2, water, and renewable energy.” $645M in funding was announced in September 2024 to support the development of future AirPlants, which will supply Twelve's E-Jet fuel to customers like Alaska Airlines and International Aviation Group (IAG). Boeing Set To Resume 777X Certification Flight Tests During flight testing, technicians discovered cracks and failures in the engine thrust links of the 777X test aircraft. This issue was first detected in mid-August 2024 on the aircraft registered as N779XY, after a five-hour test flight in Hawaii. The problem led to the grounding of the entire 777X test fleet, halting the certification campaign. The thrust link is a critical component that connects the engine to the aircraft's wing, and its failure posed a significant safety risk. Boeing engineers replaced the faulty thrust links and conducted thorough inspections of the other test aircraft. The issue was resolved, and certification flights resumed in January 2025.

In the lead up to Season 10 we're reviving some of our favorite episodes. Today we bring you Emily's favorite, The Ninety-Nines. It took a certain amount of pure grit to be a pilot in the early days of aviation – and even more for the women who had to defy convention just to get up in the air.  And if you're thinking the only aviatrix was Amelia Earhart – think again. She was just one of a daring group of women aviators who were walking on wings, flying under bridges, breaking altitude records, and racing across the country – in the 1920s! Join Emily, Matt, and Nick as they explore the history of the Ninety-Nines, the organization of women pilots originally led by Earhart and still active today. Documentary-maker Heather Taylor sets the scene of the thrilling and dangerous first Women's National Air Derby in 1929. And Emily discovers an amazing view in her first non-commercial flight (in a tiny four-seater!) with modern-day Ninety-Nine Judy Shaw.Sign up here for the monthly AirSpace newsletter

In late November, a series of concerning incidents began to unfold in the skies above several U.S. Air Force bases in the United Kingdom. For several days, military officials and local civilian witnesses observed incursions by mysterious drones over these high-security facilities, all of which the Pentagon says remain unresolved. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we analyze the recent mystery drone incidents in detail and explore what is known about the military response to these incursions, what their origins may be, and why some UAP proponents have argued that the objects may not be drones at all. What is the most likely explanation for the concerning spate of sightings, and what could it all mean for the national security of the Western nations that have been targeted? Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.
