Building the world’s largest aircraft | Bruno Bachinger

Devin speaks with Bruno Bachinger, Chief Engineer at Radia. Radia is building the world's largest aircraft. This airplane will be ten times bigger than a commercial jetliner, with a cargo capacity that pushes what we think is possible in flight. Bruno brings decades of aerospace experience to the table, including more than twenty years at Boeing. In this episode, Bruno explains how prioritizing heavy-lift logistics could open up possibilities for renewable energy, defense, space, and humanitarian work. Plus, we explore why design decisions, not new technologies, can act as the real engines of innovation.0:00 Intro2:30 The business case for an oversized cargo plane 4:13 Small steps, big momentum6:29 Start with the problem7:26 Transporting fighter jets fully assembled11:24 Humanitarian airlifts 12:50 “Short” wings and function-first design 16:08 Startup spirit: Betting big on purpose and teamwork19:50 Lightning RoundLinksDevin Liddell on LinkedInBruno Bachinger on LinkedInTeagueAbout the Host: Futurist Devin LiddellDevin Liddell is the Principal Futurist at Teague.
