Futureproof Extra: Turbulence

Flying is statistically the safest way to travel. But if you’ve been on a flight, chances are you have at one point or another, felt a little less safe than you’d like. You might spill your drink, get a sudden jolt and a drop in your stomach… That's, of course, turbulence. But did you know that even though it might make you fear for your very life - it is actually essential to the way you live it? Ivan Marusic is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Melbourne School of Engineering joined Jonathan to explain why turbulence is more important than we might think.
