FAA Deputy Administrator @FAA_Chris was at Hawthorne this week meeting with our team and touring the airport and FBO to see our vision for turning it into a testbed for next-gen technology.
🚨Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang just entered Korea through Gimpo Airport. He interviewed as below.
“Robotics will be the next major industry here in Korea.”🇰🇷
“Korea is manufacturing, mechatronics, And it's very good at artificial intelligence.”
“The convergence of all these technologies is a perfect fit for robotics.”
“And you can also think of the robot industry, In other words, it has a very huge domestic industry that can support the development of robotics.“
”So it's a good idea
It is a great opportunity and a great future for South Korea to invest in AI.”
“Great, and I look forward to meeting you in the next few days.
Thank you.”
🚨 ROLLS-ROYCE JUST RAN A JET ENGINE ON 100% HYDROGEN AND IT REACHED FULL TAKE-OFF POWER.
In a landmark test, a Rolls-Royce jet engine successfully operated at full thrust using only hydrogen fuel for the first time in history.
The engine was tested across a complete simulated flight cycle, including fault scenarios, proving that hydrogen can not only burn inside a modern aero gas turbine but can deliver the power needed for real commercial flight.
Why this matters:
• Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonize
• Hydrogen produces zero CO₂ when burned — only water
• This test validates that hydrogen combustion, fuel systems, and engine controls can work together at full power
• It moves hydrogen aviation from theory into practical engineering reality
The deeper implication is huge:
We are now seeing the first real proof that large commercial aircraft could one day fly on hydrogen instead of kerosene.
While many challenges remain (especially hydrogen storage and airport infrastructure), this test removes one of the biggest technical doubts: whether a jet engine can actually deliver full power on hydrogen.
The race toward zero-emission flight just took a major step forward.
What do you think will hydrogen or battery-electric eventually power most commercial flights?

MrBeast reveals his biggest person splurge
"What has been your biggest personal splurge?"
"One time my fiancée, she was studying in the UK, and I really wanted to see her."
"I don't live near a major airport so like, all my, I have to drive two hours to an airport to then take a layover to take a layover to get to places because our airport is so small."
"One time I was like, screw it, I'm just gonna rent a private jet and fly to her because I really want to see her. But if I don't rent a PJ, I literally just can't make it work because a PJ flight is 8 hours, where as like commercial would be like 19, there and back. It's, it's like so much wasted time and that was probably like $150,000. I felt so bad but I was like, I don't know, I just really want to see my fiancée, or at the time my girlfriend."
