#214 AERO 2026: General Aviation as a Testbed for the Future
05.05.2026 72 min Staffel 5 Episode 172
Zusammenfassung & Show Notes
✈️ CLEAR FOR TAKEOFF — AERO 2026 WARM‑UP
I’ll say it straight from the cockpit:
If AERO Friedrichshafen 2026 is on your radar, this LinkedIn Live is your pre‑flight briefing — and skipping it would be like taxiing without a checklist.
I’m hosting a no‑slides, no‑marketing‑fluff warm‑up livestream with two people who genuinely live aviation:
🔥 Tobias Bretzel, Show Director of AERO — a walking afterburner.
The kind of leader who doesn’t just manage a trade show but energizes an entire ecosystem. Tobias brings unbelievable momentum, sharp insights, and a contagious joy for aviation that turns planning into lift‑off. When he talks AERO, you feel the runway accelerating.
🛩️ Norbert Werle, Managing Director of Air2E & Founder of JET-Circle — pure operational freedom.
Pilot mindset, community builder, creator, and service provider rolled into one.
Norbert represents the end‑user reality of General & Business Aviation: flexibility, access, and making aircraft actually work for people. If someone knows how aviation is used (not just discussed), it’s him.
And me?
I’m bringing the engineering lens — composites, advanced materials, certification reality, and why General Aviation is still the fastest testbed we have for what will later scale into aerospace and mobility.

#Composites360OnTour style: practical, honest, and close to the metal.
🎧 What this Live is (and what it’s not):
• Not a press release
• Not a sales pitch
• Not a panel where everyone agrees
This is Techtainment:
Real talk about AERO 2026, the Business Aviation Show Hub, the aircraft, the energy, the people you must meet — and how engineering, operations, and community finally click together.
We’ll talk what’s flying, what’s scaling, what’s worth your time, and why AERO is becoming the place where theory gets its pilot license.
😎 Expect pilot jokes, engineering honesty, and the kind of insights you usually only get after day two at the bar — minus the jet lag.
👉 Pro tip:
Strap in.
Run the checklist.
We’re going wheels‑up soon.
