Über diesen Titel

 What does it take to transform aerospace innovation from concept to reality? In this episode, we explore the critical role of systems engineering in modern aerospace through a conversation with Sindhu Belki, a graduate research assistant at Georgia Tech’s renowned Aerospace Systems Design Lab (ASDL). Systems engineering bridges the gap that often derails complex projects—the disconnect between specialized disciplines working in isolation. As Sindhu explains, without systems thinking, “there’s not a clear path forward” when companies create new products or labs pioneer new technologies. Key Topics Explored:
  • Why the “forest over trees” perspective matters in aerospace design and manufacturing
  • How condition-based maintenance using structural health monitoring could revolutionize aircraft operations and reduce costly downtime
  • The trade-offs between investing in current versus future technology through real-world disaster relief planning tools
  • Overcoming resistance to systems engineering adoption in established organizations
  • The critical need for multidisciplinary thinking in engineering education and practice
  • Balancing traditional mentorship with openness to unconventional approaches
Sindhu shares insights from hands-on projects including sensor optimization for blended wing body aircraft, humanitarian aid logistics tools developed for the Office of Naval Research, and collaborative work with the US Air Mobility Command and industry partners. These case studies reveal how systems engineering creates the foundation for breakthrough innovations while preventing costly conflicts between subsystems and teams. Whether you’re an engineering leader, project manager, or technical professional navigating organizational change, this conversation offers practical perspectives on implementing systems thinking and fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration in complex environments. Guest: Sindhu Belki, Graduate Research Assistant, Aerospace Systems Design Lab, Georgia Tech
