This episode of the Shawn Ryan Show features Adam Bry, Co-Founder and CEO of Skydio, a leading U.S. drone manufacturer specializing in AI-powered autonomous flight technology. The discussion covers Skydio's rise, its applications in consumer, enterprise, and defense sectors, and its competitive edge against Chinese manufacturers. Bry, an MIT aerospace engineering graduate with experience at Google X's Project Wing, highlights Skydio's achievements, including unicorn status and significant defense contracts. The conversation also touches upon drone policy, national security, the future of aviation with technologies like eVTOL, and the ethical considerations of AI in drones. Specific drone models like the Skydio X10 are discussed, along with manufacturing challenges, real-world use cases in public safety and crime intervention, and advancements in fixed-wing prototypes.

This video features an unboxing of the AGM-65 Maverick Missile's hydraulic actuation system, highlighting its guidance fins. The content focuses on military technology and engineering, with an emphasis on advanced aerospace and defense systems.

This video focuses on the 30mm GAU-8 Avenger autocannon, specifically its ammunition chute, as seen on the A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) aircraft. The title and provided hashtags suggest a strong emphasis on military hardware, engineering, and the context of warfare. While not a firearm in the traditional sense of a handheld weapon, the GAU-8 is a significant piece of ordnance with engineering marvels.

This YouTube video features an unboxing and build of an Allison 501 Turboshaft engine. Beyond the build itself, the creator promises a discussion on the historical origins and development of gas turbines, tracing their lineage back to piston, steam, and internal combustion engines. The video also references a previous video demonstrating "how NOT to read a procedure." Support for the creator is encouraged through Patreon.

This video explores the question of whether Space Shuttle aluminum, specifically 7075 aluminum alloy, is bulletproof. The description highlights the material's excellent mechanical properties, including high strength and toughness, making it suitable for highly stressed structural applications like aircraft parts. It also touches on its susceptibility to embrittlement and its corrosion resistance compared to other alloys. While the title poses a question directly related to projectile resistance, the description focuses on the material's engineering characteristics rather than definitive ballistic testing.
