Call me a luddite but I feel unease at executives predicting the future of air travel depends on “disruptive technologies”



Disruptive technologies that are now commonplace in aviation:

- Jet engines

- Yaw damper

- Fly-by-wire

- ILS

- Composites

Among other minor inventions


The transportation industries are seriously planning on being disrupted in the next 5 - 10 years. Lots of telematics companies are, for example, betting on the fact that private vehicle ownership will be less of a thing within the next 2 - 10 years .. the sharing model will 'disrupt' things, etc.

You should not feel unease, but for sure try to imagine a world where ICE is phased out. This is going to happen. And when things get electric, they're going to get automatic ..
