In our third episode, we welcome our friends Dirk Berlee (Change Manager) and Leon Gommans (Chief Science Officer) of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. We discuss big data, artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, and predictive maintenance.
We talk about how data and data-driven systems are transforming aviation operations and we talk through how we can trust and embrace data driven outcomes. We ask ourselves and discuss: "is aviation truly an industry awash in big data?" and "if so, how do we best leverage the value of data we collect?"
With hosts: Mark Roboff, Paula Olivio, Ravi Rajamani, and Martin Whitfield. -
In our second episode, we welcome Ron Stroup, General Engineer Expert at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA.) Ron takes us through his career spanning flight testing, to developing software assurance standards, to his current work on AI, big data, and the transformation of the national air space.
We talk about writing the type of software code that power avionics systems in airplanes, as well as air traffic management systems on the ground, and we ask the question: how much data do planes actually generate today? Is aviation a playing field for big data? Find out in our second episode of Future Flying (formerly Cleared for Takeoff.)

Welcome to Cleared for Takeoff! In our inaugural episode, we talk to NASA's Dr. PK, director of the Aeronautics Research Institute (and former NASA engineer of the year) about air-taxis, or as we say in "aviation-speak," Urban Air Mobility. We talk through what this new form of air transport is all about, and what challenges exist to bring it to fruition. We also get into a rousing discussion about how air taxis may transform where we live, how we go to work, and what cities will even look like in the future.
With hosts: Mark Roboff, Martin Whitfield, Cory Laflin, and Ravi Rajamani.
