In this episode, Igor introduces the Los Angeles-based manufacturer behind the world’s first rigid electric variable-buoyancy airship (EVBA).
With more than two decades of development and FAA certification experience, Aeros is now pushing toward commercial deployment of a logistics platform that can pick up and deliver cargo anywhere, without the need for roads, ports, runways, or other fixed infrastructure.
Igor shares the origins of Aeros’ mission to “save the world” by reimagining global logistics and explains how the company’s patented buoyancy-control system solves the century-old problem that prevented airships from becoming practical cargo solutions.
He walks listeners through the engineering breakthroughs behind variable buoyancy, hybrid-electric propulsion, and the lightweight pressure-vessel structures that make the airships commercially viable.
The discussion also explores how Aeros plans to transform the last-mile, middle-mile, and first-mile logistics ecosystem through three vehicle classes, ranging from a 10-ton urban airship supporting drone-based deliveries to a 244-ton intercontinental heavy-lift platform.
Igor also outlines upcoming R&D milestones, including urban demonstrations in Los Angeles, and explains how the company is preparing its next-generation airships for FAA certification from day one.

In this episode, we welcome back Michael to explore Vertical's progress with its VX4 eVTOL aircraft and ambitious roadmap toward certification and commercial operations by 2028.
Michael shares a behind-the-scenes look at how the VX4 prototype has been exceeding expectations in recent flight tests, showcasing exceptional stability, efficiency, and ultra-low noise performance. He dives into the technical and strategic decisions shaping the final aircraft design, from battery safety innovations to partnering with the UK CAA and EASA for high-standard certification.
Listeners will gain insights into the meticulous engineering, operational learnings, and regulatory engagement that are de-risking Vertical’s journey to market. Michael also reflects on Vertical’s newly signed partnership with Bristow, a move that will enable scalable commercial operations through wet lease models—especially for airport shuttle services.
