Transforming from a fossil fuel into a renewable energy company

According to the CEO Henrik Poulsen who accompanied this transformation, it would not have been possible without a “wholehearted commitment” to achieve this transition.

Many aviators in the 1940's believed that man was not meant to fly faster than the speed of sound. They theorized that transonic drag rise would tear any aircraft apart. As an airplane approaches the speed of sound, the air around it begins to compress which increases drag and causes turbulence and vibra- tions in the aircraft.
