Show Notes
Have you noticed your recent flights getting a bit more "adventurous" lately? In this episode, Herman and Corn Poppleberry explore the rising phenomenon of Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) and whether climate change is actually making our travels more dangerous. From the harrowing Singapore Airlines incident to the incredible engineering of modern wings, the brothers break down what is happening in the cockpit and why you shouldn't panic when the seatbelt sign turns on. Learn how pilots handle "invisible" rivers of air and how future Lidar technology might finally give us a way to see the unseeable.
