I remember the first time I heard about electric aircraft. I was sitting in a cramped room full of engineers, all buzzing with excitement over the “future of aviation.” Meanwhile, I was trying not to roll my eyes so hard they’d fall out of my head. Sure, electric planes sound as thrilling as a tech …
I once thought my life was chaotic. That was before I tried finding the perfect pilot bag. Imagine this: me, a supposedly competent engineer, reduced to a bumbling fool in the labyrinth of airport terminals, tripping over straps and zippers that refuse to cooperate.

I’ve spent more time in airports than I’d like to admit, and I’m not talking about the glamorous kind of travel.
