Capital listeners became the first to see the new Elroq at the Capital Jingle Bell Ball. We sponsor Aimee Vivian’s show so who better to show families our new electric SUV, right outside The O2? Elroq went down a storm, which was fitting given the weather! ☔️
Many thanks to the team at Global for helping this happen.

I recently listened to a fascinating podcast discussing the development of eVTOLs, which are reshaping urban mobility through innovation and strategic partnerships. Adam Goldstein, CEO of Archer Aviation, shared insights on how these flying cars can transform long commutes into short, sustainable flights, highlighting a shift in city travel.
What caught my attention was the crucial role of collaboration in this sector. Partnerships with regulatory bodies like the FAA and EASA, along with international commercial alliances, are essential for navigating the global mobility landscape. From the US to the UAE and beyond, these collaborations are shaping the future of transportation.

🚀 **Breaking Through the Skies with the C919**
On the 75th anniversary of New China, the C919 large aircraft is officially in service with three major carriers. This marks a significant stride for COMAC, which plans to deliver at least 10 C919s this year and is gearing up with new production lines.
🌟 **17 Years of Dedication**
Since its inception in 2007, the domestically produced C919 has battled giants like Boeing and Airbus, evolving through continuous iterations to now compete on the global stage. This aircraft has not only shown promising performance but has also revolutionized the domestic aviation supply chain.
✈️ **Taking Flight**
In September 2024, Air China and China Southern Airlines launched commercial flights of the C919. Air China’s C919 made its maiden flight from Beijing to Shanghai, while China Southern Airlines flew from Guangzhou to Shanghai. Meanwhile, China Eastern Airlines, the first C919 user, has accumulated over 10,000 safe flight hours and carried over 500,000 passengers.
💪 **The Road Ahead**
COMAC aims to reach an annual production capacity of 150 C919s within the next five years. New production facilities are underway, signaling a robust future. The C919’s impact on suppliers is also profound, with many start-ups eyeing opportunities to become part of this groundbreaking project.
🏆 **A New Era in Aviation**
By overcoming the formidable challenges of aircraft manufacturing, the C919 stands as a testament to innovation and perseverance. It’s more than just an aircraft; it’s the embodiment of a nation’s ambition and technological prowess.

I need to watch this! It reminds me of when joined Dolby Europe in 1997 and how far the industry has come in a relatively short (27) years, such big changes…
My first job was to transfer the 6-track master sound ‘hot off the mix’ of an upcoming feature film called ‘The Avengers’ from a 6-track magnetic tape master onto the Dolby Magneto Optical Disk (via the Dolby DS10), then run it through the Dolby Stereo Matrix Encoder (mixing down the 6-track sound to 4 channels and creating Dolby Stereo; a 2-channel, encoded version for the optical back-up sound), add Dolby SR Noise Reduction and transfer that on to the MO master disk, so that the master (digital/analog) sound could be transferred to optical film, which would in turn, be married with the picture to create a MASTER negative, in which copies would be created, the trailer that would then go into all the cinemas around the U.K. to promote the upcoming release of the film.
It was my first introduction to 35mm film, projectors and mag-audio playback; Kinoton (FP30/38), Cinemeccanica (Victoria 5/8), Sondor. Aligning the 6-track heads (azimuth/focus/dolby level), lacing up the projectors, checking sync, focus, light levels, A-Chain & B-Chain alignment of the projector, sound replay and the room/electro-acoustics alignment. A very in-depth, rather technical process.
There was a certain respect for film, a ‘measure twice, cut once kinesthetic approach’ like a top savile row tailor who knew their way around the materials, the creative and the tools. These editors understood the look and feel of the end product from the design process, working with the director to implement their vision right through to the Final Cut, with a legacy understanding of the ‘end to end’ rather complex process.
I wish the whole team involved with MOVIOLA the very best of luck.
