PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Worked for FACC in Tukwila, Seattle, WA. Since Jan 2013 to end of Oct 2013. Worked on the split winglet design as Stress Engineer. The split wing is a concept that

uses an additional winglet at approximately 90 degree projecting downward thus it appears like a fork. The modification is expected to produce substantial reduction in fuel

consumption. It will most probably reduce 4% total fuel consumption. It is initially intended to apply to 737 fleet and eventually to all aircraft. The design is difficult

because of less structural members at that location and high air loads. Analyzed split wing components for over 1500 load cases.
