EP55 – Airbus Corporate Helicopters; Aerion Supersonic Shuts Down; Will Sustainable Aviation Fuel Actually Catch On?

May 28, 2021

In this episode we discuss Airbus Corporate Helicopters (ACH) and their 70% marketshare of the yachting helicopter segment--is this sustainable, and recession-proof? Aerion, who was making headlines with their X2 supersonic corporate jet prototype, has shut down operations. What does this mean for the industry, and should other startups be nervous? And, Allen dives into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)--will it catch on and prove viable with new legislation proposing tax incentives for airlines that adopt it?
