Solving the Shortage of Aviation Technicians Through Product Design

Solving the Shortage of Aviation Technicians Through Product Design

The podcast discusses the growing shortage of aviation technicians and proposes a solution: using innovative technology to make aviation maintenance tasks simpler and easier to learn. The podcast highlights the ageing workforce and the difficulty in attracting new talent due to complex equipment. It presents three examples of new diagnostic products that simplify tasks like electrical wiring troubleshooting, dent detection, and engine vibration analysis. These products, the podcast argues, can attract a wider pool of talent by reducing the technical complexity of the job, ultimately leading to greater workforce participation in the aviation industry.
