Our next pod­cast episode is live! This week, we were delight­ed to be joined by John Piasec­ki, CEO and Pres­i­dent of Piasec­ki Air­craft Cor­po­ra­tion.

In this episode, John updates us on where Piasec­ki Air­craft is on its com­pa­ny roadmap. There were some big announce­ments at the end of last year, which include its new R&D site in Penn­syl­va­nia, which was for­mer­ly of Siko­rsky.

We talk future growth plans, the gear-up to launch the world’s first hydro­gen-pow­ered heli­copter and Piaseck­i’s plans to hire up to 400 work­ers over the next five years, as the com­pa­ny begins to scale up its pro­duc­tion plans.

John also talks about the com­pa­ny’s $37 mil­lion grant from the US Air Force to devel­op ‘next-gen VTOLs and hydro­gen propul­sion tech­nolo­gies’, as well as Piaseck­i’s part­ner­ship with Tri­umph Group. He con­cludes our con­ver­sa­tion by shar­ing his thoughts on hydro­gen propul­sion.
