During a year marked by lives turned upside down, collaboration saw us through to 2021. Efforts began long before 2020 in order to achieve the goals met by the team that we highlight in our Editors’ Choice Awards this year. To manage workload and increase safety, to return a US crew to space, and to land a light airplane autonomously after a pilot incapacitation—these took collaborative effort, and that’s why Flying is proud to give them our recognition.
