Guest: Paulo Iscold Host: Markus Voelter Shownoter: Kolja Dummann
In this episode I talk with Paulo Iscold, a professor or aeronautical engineering at Cal Poly about Nixus Nixus, his most recent project. Nixus is one of the most fascinating and ground-breaking research efforts in the space of gliding. It uses advanced manufacturing techniques to support a very thing wing, plus a fly-by-wire system to control the ailerons and the flaps; the latter are automatically adjusted to the current speed.
Here is the Idaflieg presentation I mentioned in the intro.

Great show. Was a bit skeptical at first, but the guest is really engaging. Maybe do another show about his other planes and/or air racing (again)?
Was quite boring, I dozed off. Should have started with why this glider was important rather than the life story of the guy getting interviewed.
That’s a matter of taste, I guess :-)
Was für ein schöner Podcast. Perfekt für jemanden, der sich für das Thema strukturelle Mechanik an Flugzeugen interssiert. Ich habe die Vermutung, das Paulo Iscold kein Muttersprchler ist. Aber er spricht ein so gutes und vor allem verständliches Englisch, dass es eine Freude ist ihm zuzuhören. Beachtenswert finde ich auch die sehr verständliche Erklrärung der nicht trivialen Zusammenhänge – Prima.
Great episode even for listeners who are not aviation experts. :)
Great episode, although a bit short on the motivation and also on the exact details of the fly-by-wire system. I.e. it could have been longer and more detailed.
