EXPERIENCE
AIRCRAFT DESIGN AND ANALYSIS I have over five years of experience in
all aspects of aircraft design, analysis, fabrication and testing. As
a contract engineer at the Naval Research Laboratory, I was involved
with the entire process for developing a slow flying, long endurance
Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV). This program also involved basic
research on the effects of low Reynold's number on aircraft
performance.
Structural Design and Analysis I have experience in the design,
analysis and fabrication of advanced composite structures. I was
responsible for analyzing a fuselage design using NISA by EMRC, a
Finite Element Analysis program. The results of this analysis,
verified later by experiment, showed the need for some additional
structure for torsional rigidity. I shared responsibility for the
design and analysis of a main wing structure, with a 20 foot wingspan
and an aspect ratio of 27. I developed two programs to assist in the
design. First, an analysis program was written based on the Finite
Difference method to allow rapid iteration to a candidate design
without building detailed FEA models. Next, a program was written that
allowed parametric specification of the wing's structural features,
airfoil data and loading required. The program performed a pressure
distribution computation for the entire wing surface and automatically
generated the FEA model for direct input into NISA. The structure was
then subjected to an in-depth FEA analysis, including static, buckling
and eigenvalue predictions. This allowed rapid conversion to the
design solution with minimum weight. The finished wing was then
statically tested to 6 G's, with measured deflections verifying the
FEA analysis within 5%.
Composite Structure Fabrication I actively participated in the
development of fabrication techniques and the actual fabrication of an
RPV. This included the design of tooling and molds required for the
structure. Advanced composite techniques such as vacuum-bagging and
heat curing were employed.
Low Reynold's Number Airfoil Design and Analysis I have experience
with the Eppler computer program for low Reynold's Number airfoil
design. The program was used to evaluate candidate airfoils for air
vehicle development efforts.
Simulation, Stability and Control I performed a detailed stability
analysis of several RPVs, including reduction of wind tunnel test data
to obtain static derivatives. Existing simulation code was modified to
better account for some nonlinear characteristics of the
configuration, and to run in real-time on a PC. This, combined with
integration of a PCM flight controller and graphics display, became a
full RPV simulator. During subsequent flight testing, actual flight
characteristics were very close to the simulated behavior.
MECHANICAL SYSTEMS DESIGN AND ANALYSIS I participated in several
mechanical design projects for the Naval Research Laboratory. I
designed a modification to an existing inflatable system, extending
its useful life by a factor of twelve. This modification is in the
process of being incorporated throughout the Navy fleet. I also
designed an improved deployment apparatus for a Navy electronic
countermeasures device. My tasks included preliminary and detailed
design, system analysis, and creation of a machine shop drawing
package. The design and drawings were created using 3D AutoCAD.
COMPUTER PROGRAMMING I have extensive programming experience in
FORTRAN, BASIC, AutoLISP and C. In addition to the many in-house
analysis tools previously mentioned, I have developed three different
third-party software packages for AutoCAD, and am a Registered
Developer for Autodesk.
COMPUTER ANIMATION & GRAPHICS I have over four years of experience
creating graphics and computer animations for aviation, architectural,
engineering and environmental applications. Animations have been
created for clients such as the Air National Guard, the Baltimore
Convention Center, BWI Airport, and The Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Association.
AVIATION Certified Flight Instructor I have approximately 1,900 hours
of flight time, including over 1,200 hours of flight instruction
logged, teaching from primary students to instrument and multi-engine
commercial ratings. Teaching experience includes both under FAR Part
141 and development of lesson plans for FAR Part 61. I have
successfully soloed over 50 students, and have taught both flight
instruction and ground school for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
in Prescott, Arizona.
