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
