Planet’s German unit teams with AXA arm to deploy AI-driven satellite risk platform for natural disasters

Planet Labs’ German subsidiary is partnering with a new AXA insurance arm to embed Planet’s Earth-observation imagery into an AI-driven risk-management platform. The collaboration aims to monitor, model and predict natural disasters for underwriting and loss-mitigation, integrating near-real-time satellite analytics into insurer workflows.

CFM studies 'advanced ducted' as a fallback to preferred open‑fan for next‑generation jet engine CFM International is assessing a conventional “advanced ducted” engine design as a contingency to its preferred open‑fan next‑generation propulsion concept, industry sources say. The review reflects industry debate over the open‑fan’s radical fuel‑saving potential versus practical certification, emissions and industrialisation risks.
