Hello and a very warm welcome to my blog, a place for me to collect my thoughts on topics that fascinate me.

I currently work at TEKEVER, a European defence technology company focused on AI-centric autonomous systems, and previously worked at Cranfield Aerospace Solutions and the Aerospace Technology Institute. Across these roles I have been lucky enough to sit close to the frontier of innovation in aviation, defence and aerospace, from zero-carbon flight to next-generation uncrewed systems.

You will find a strong emphasis here on innovation and how new ideas move from sketch, to prototype, to something that genuinely changes how we fly and operate. This is still a personal blog though, a space where I (and occasionally others) can write about all kinds of topics, including flying adventures, history, and reflections from the wider aviation, aerospace and defence community. I have been fortunate to make some great friends through my career, and this site is one of the ways I share their stories as well as my own.

If you have an idea for a feature, I would be delighted to hear from you.

Scott
