The coming years will split companies into two groups: those that become AI-native and those left catching up. The innovators who harness AI now will define the winners of tomorrow. Follow me for strategic insights on leading through the AI revolution.

Strap in! We're testing technology 🚀 Aboard a recently launched Space Force mission, we're testing material that could help fortify technology for future missions to Mars. Known as Zylon, this special material is used for the straps of @NASA_Langley's inflatable aeroshell that

On this day a legend was born. 💫 Today, we remember the legacy of NASA's super computer, Katherine G. Johnson. Katherine laid the groundwork for humanity's first flight to the moon by calculating the orbital equations that would control the trajectory in John Glenn's

We're testing air taxi tech! 🚁 @NASA_Langley is testing a new small research aircraft, using wind tunnel and flight tests to help guide the development of future electric air taxis and drones. 🔗: https://t.co/zxVheT3qEq

✈️ Celebrating National Aviation Day from where innovation will soon take flight: NASA Langley's Flight Dynamics Research Facility! From scale-model testing to breakthrough aerodynamic research, this state-of-the-art wind tunnel will help shape the future of aviation.

NASA tested a 7-foot wing model with multiple propellers in the 14-by-22-Foot Subsonic Wind Tunnel at Langley. The model is a “semispan,” or the right half of a complete wing. See how this data will fuel the future of next‑gen aerial designs: https://t.co/vdyTVEVaSo

Robots with muscles? Sailing on sunlight? Watch our new episode of "Far Out," to see how @NASALangley is making soft robots to help us live on the Moon and solar sails to explore space using only the power of our Sun: https://t.co/b1FMGcbQgN
