The conversation takes a turn towards potential new ventures. Brodt hints at revisiting his roots in the aviation industry, exploring opportunities that link his past with the future of Eclipse. “In addition to our core business, we may very well be back in doing some work in airports,” he shares, underscoring the potential for crossover between his past and present fields of expertise.
