Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 704 ratings
  • 100 percent buzzword compliant

    Most of the episodes are excellent. The exceptions are the ones that are sponsored. The guest (consultant) experts speak in broad generalities and are quite useless.

  • Cowards

    I used to really enjoy and get a lot out of these discussions, but the unwillingness to even acknowledge basic facts about the Trump administration’s attacks on the industry, including the OBVIOUS TO EVERYBODY efforts to privatize public goods and give them away to people who did not earn them nor who deserve the public’s trust, is an abomination.

    I’m done wasting my time with such spineless people.

  • Tariff episode

    It was helpful to hear everyone state they believe the tariffs will hurt the aviation industry.

    It would have been more informative if one participant explained and presented President Tump’s reasoning why the imposed tariff’s could benefit the aviation industry.

    Please consider presenting that in a future episode.

Q: What was so different about the WASP and what gave Rentschler's young team the confidence to risk this design?
The WASP was an air-cooled engine, unlike the liquid-cooled engines of the time, and its design was based on Rentschler's extensive experience and the Navy's strong desire for a more powerful engine.
