Fish Fry Flashback! A Revolution in the Skies – How Mayman Aerospace’s VTOL Air Utility Vehicles will Change the World

by Amelia Dalton

In honor of a momentous season of Fish Fry, we are ending the year with a spotlight on Amelia’s 500th episode with David Mayman! (CEO – Mayman Aerospace and inventor of the jetpack)

It’s finally here!!! The 500th episode of Amelia’s Weekly Fish Fry podcast has arrived! My special guest is the one and only David Mayman! (CEO – Mayman Aerospace) David and I chat about his motivation to design jetpacks and air utility vehicles and the evolution of the Mayman Aerospace’s Speeder VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) air utility vehicle. We also discuss the future of aviation and how these kinds of air utility vehicles can change not only the future of aviation but also the world at large. Also this week, to celebrate this momentous occasion, I share some of my favorite experiences working on this long-running podcast.

Package Evolution for MOSFETs and Diodes
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Vishay
A limiting factor for both MOSFETs and diodes is power dissipation per unit area and your choice of packaging can make a big difference in power dissipation. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Brian Zachrel from Vishay investigate how package evolution has led to new advancements in diodes and MOSFETs including minimizing package resistance, increasing power density, and more! They also explore the benefits of using Vishay’s small and efficient PowerPAK® and eSMP® packages and the migration path you will need to keep in mind when using these solutions in your next design.
