For a number of years, I've been privileged to have a part in developing a new kind of aircraft to provide a new kind of service.
As we've pursued this mission, we've encountered challenges and opportunities that we've met in creative and disciplined ways. Often this means detangling some complex problem or breaking down some impediment to reach a milestone or set a precedent.

In this talk, I'll share some experience in contending with walls of various flavors in the course of turning an idea into reality in the civil aviation safety context. We've made it around, over, under, or through a number of them, and I'll also share some things we've learned in the process.
