In the 20th Century there was a great period of industrialization, with the focus on the machine. The aerospace industry did an amazing job with adapting humans to the machine and then the machine to the human. Many gains were made in aeronautical Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. (STEM) is prevalent in our educational system.

The 21st Century is the time for practitioners to put the A in STEM, the Art of flying, so that our aerospace community can be full STEAM ahead. The focus with art is on the human craft, developing skills that are hard to quantify, such as leadership. It is time to pursue the art of flying with as much passion as we did with higher, farther, faster machines.
