"We believe the data revolution leading to the physics-AI revolution will take the engineering world by storm. People don't quite understand how much this will change design."

Alonso breaks down how advances in computational fluid dynamics and the Physics AI model are enabling designers to simulate complex aerodynamic behavior in seconds, dramatically accelerating how rockets, aircraft and hypersonic systems are conceived and tested.

The conversation also explores the ecosystems powering this shift — from Silicon Valley's unique concentration of interdisciplinary talent to the global collaborations now shaping cutting-edge aerospace work. Alonso highlights how industry, academia and defense partners are rethinking traditional workflows to keep pace with emerging technologies and rising international competition.
