The next generation of aircraft will come from teams that can explore their full trade space, and that takes geometry across thousands of variants. Spent a week at @aiaa Aviation in San Diego showing what that looks like for hypersonic design with @SpecterAero.

The future is bright—and so are many kids choosing careers in flight. Flight underwent a Great Stagnation from the late 1960s. With little interesting to do, many bright students chose tech not aerospace. Now that innovation is roaring back, so is talent.

It was an honor to share the stage with @NASA and @Boeing at the @AIAA Aviation Forum. We’re ushering in a new era of aerospace innovation, but no matter how far technology advances, the FAA’s mission remains the same: safety. Together, we have an opportunity to shape a more connected, more capable, and more accessible future in aerospace. Innovation isn't just changing how we fly, it's defining what's possible. ✈️

What's it like to take a plane supersonic for the first time? I asked NASA X-59 test pilot Jim "Clue" Less after Friday's milestone mission. He describes seeing the supersonic shock wave from the plane, through a small slot window: aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/na… @aiaa @NASAaero

Last week, @csf_space hosted the ASCEND Commercial Space Policy Summit — and over the next few days, we'll be highlighting the conversations that defined each day of the conference. Tuesday brought together the leaders and policymakers driving the future of U.S. commercial space — from FAA regulatory briefings to a closing fireside with senior White House officials: Enabling the Future of Commercial Space — Insights from FAA/AST The Road to 1,000 Launches — What it takes to get there Building the Backbone of the Space Economy — Spaceports, infrastructure & access Asserting U.S. Leadership at WRC-27 — The spectrum fight ahead The Future of Space Stations — Commercializing the cosmos Growing Federal Use of Commercial Remote Sensing Data — Earth observation at scale Space-Based Power & Orbital Data Centers — The next infrastructure frontier View from the White House — Unleashing the U.S. commercial space industry @CSF is grateful for every speaker, moderator, and attendee who made it possible. The orbital economy is being built in rooms like this. #ASCEND2025 #CommercialSpace #AIAA @aiaa

AIA’s Vice President for Space Systems, Steve Jordan Tomaszewski, recently joined the Commercial Space Policy Summit in Washington, DC, hosted by the @csf_space Federation and @aiaa as part of the @ascendspace Conference. During a panel on the space supply chain, Steve highlighted how demand for critical satellite and launch vehicle components is outpacing supply — and why government and industry must work together to strengthen the industrial base.
