To ensure safety isn't compromised while pushing aerospace engineering boundaries, I follow the 'SAFETY' mantra: S - Simulate and Test: Robustly validate designs through simulations and real-world testing. A - Align Culture: Foster a safety-first culture, prioritizing safety in every decision. F - Focus on Risk Mitigation: Identify and address potential risks proactively. E - Engage Experts: Collaborate with experienced professionals to ensure comprehensive safety assessments. T - Track Regulations: Stay updated with the latest industry standards and regulatory requirements. Y - Yield to Caution: Prioritize caution when uncertainty arises, ensuring safety remains paramount. I helps to balance innovation with stringent safety protocols

Pushing the limits of aerospace engineering requires balancing innovation with rigorous safety standards. I ensure safety isn't compromised by adhering to established protocols, continuously evaluating risks, and incorporating comprehensive testing at every stage. Collaboration with experts across engineering disciplines ensures that all potential hazards are considered. I prioritize safety margins in design and performance, ensuring that new technologies are tested in controlled environments before implementation. Regular safety audits, simulation-based testing, and maintaining an open feedback loop from all team members help identify and mitigate risks early.
