Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A sit-down with Boeing's head of defence
Q: Can you describe the role of open architecture and software in Boeing's defense platforms?
Open architecture allows us to bring in third-party apps and new solutions quickly, reduces single-sourcing risk, and enables faster integration of sensors, weapons, and mission systems across platforms like helicopters and fighters, which is essential as hardware must scale with software.
A sit-down with Boeing's head of defence
Q: How are conflicts like Ukraine and Iran affecting Boeing's relationship with customers domestically and internationally?
Boeing's products are performing well and our strategy is to deliver at speed and scale, with emphasis on keeping current programs on track while adapting to evolving warfare, supplier constraints, and tabbed upgrades that keep our platforms relevant in different theaters.
A sit-down with Boeing's head of defence
Q: Steve, in the last 12 months since we last met, how have you seen your role evolve within Boeing?
I've become more focused on rebuilding trust with customers, accelerating execution across high-profile programs, and ensuring the right talent and leadership are in place to manage the big fixed-price development programs while expanding our capability through open architectures and disciplined program management.
Inside Horizon Aircraft’s unique path of a bringing hybrid VTOL to market
Q: What are the initial use cases you're excited about, and is there a military version in the works?
Initial use cases include time-sensitive missions and EMS in remote areas, with potential for critical cargo delivery; the program is also engaging defense contractors and exploring military applications as a parallel track.
Inside Horizon Aircraft’s unique path of a bringing hybrid VTOL to market
Q: Why pick your ducted-fan X7 design over simpler tilt-rotor concepts?
The X7 avoids the complexity and reliability challenges of tilt-rotor systems, offering a simpler transition from vertical to horizontal flight, with robust, self-contained fans and a design that is easier to certify and maintain at scale.
