This Independence Day 🇮🇳, I asked, "What will the next century of young Indians look like?"
$0.01 Drone Deliveries. UAVs that never land. Groceries in under 10 minutes.
Meet The 22nd Century Indian. A Documentary on a New India.

Why do we think supersonic flight will work at scale on @boomsupersonic Overture when it didn't on Concorde?
Here's the business case for supersonic—and a never-before-seen piece of Overture's design. 🧵👇
Only 14 Concordes >1,000 Overtures planned

super proud of our team proving cleaner, quieter, more efficient air movement is possible
Whisper Aero is proud to be named one of @TechCrunch's most disruptive startups of 2024. We’ve had another year of major milestones, and the momentum hasn’t gone unnoticed. It’s a nod to what we’ve built, shared, and achieved this year—and a vote of confidence for what’s to come!
This is nonintuitive but flying can (is frequently) more efficient than driving. @venkvis and I analyzed this for urban aircraft in our @PNASNews report on #evtols pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pna…

Did you know #offroad vehicles (e.g., excavators, dump trucks, farm equipment, etc.) are as polluting as #aviation? In the latest @ACSEnergyLett viewpoint, we identify the #Battery performance metrics to #decarbonize this sector: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…. @coschoolofmines 🔋

The claim: We'll never be able to run the grid without fossil fuels because <technical grid service needs>
The reality: World's 6th-largest economy nears fossil-free grid operation, hitting record-low 2.4% this month

Battery recycling shatters the myth of electric-vehicle waste. The upfront emissions from making a battery are paid back after driving just 15,000 miles.

"There are too many expensive, heavyweight electric models being pushed at American drivers and not enough compelling vehicles at lower price points."

The results of @BloombergNEF's 2023 Battery Price Survey are in!
🔋💲🔻
Average prices have fallen by 14% to $139/kWh
This is great news for an industry that was hit hard by raw material prices rises in 2022

Largest eVTOL battery dataset, led by @AlecBills1 @ssripad1. 22 cells with a total of 21,392 charge & discharge cycles with full voltage and temperature data. Temperature rise and power fade during landing over cycles needs to be accurately captured. nature.com/articles/s41597-0…

Not a lot!
But we can speculate a 🧵 1/8
