Columbus, OH

. Structural engineering manager of assigned company R&D design projects

and provided structural / stress analysis for the Short Take-Off and

Landing Hercules ("STOL HERC") modification to C-130 aircraft.

. The modifications included new extended rudder, extended dorsal fin,

wing tip fuel tanks, wing mounted auxiliary jet engines, and eight

bladed propellers. This project was test flown and showed significant

improvements in Landing and Take-off distance and safer stall

characteristics. Flight test program included structural testing and

evaluation of new components and materials (7075-T76).

. Performed life cycle evaluation using material data from Mil-H' book 5

and modified the design to lower the Kt factors (stress concentration

factor) to fit within life cycle spectrum and fatigue studies.

. Studied available C-130 structural engineering life cycle data for
