Autonomy is unfolding through a series of deliberate steps across defense, cargo and eventually passenger travel – each one building toward a safer, smarter future.
In this episode of Aerospace Unplugged, our host Adam Kress talks with Sapan Shah, Senior Director of Product Management for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) at Honeywell Aerospace Technologies, about how autonomy and automation differ, where Honeywell is leading and why trust is key to adoption.

Episode Highlights:
• Difference Between Automation and Autonomy: Why the distinction matters in real-world aviation applications and how each has evolved over the years.
