Sustainable general aviation – a catalyst for remoter communities’ development
Here we consider our approach to sustainability, and how, if the political will is present, solutions such as Cormorant are key to sustaining, if not reinvigorating, remoter communities.
The merits of strategic decision deferral
At Cormorant, we do not see ourselves as being leaders in the development of management thought. However, being vested in e-aviation we briefly write here regarding strategic decision deferral, which we summarize as:

Transportation: The Times They Are a-Changin’
A paradigm shift is needed in the way we move ourselves & goods. Land-based transport systems disproportionately consume environmental resources: e-aviation can help provide a solution.
The e-aircraft development process: more haste, less speed
