FLIGHT TRANSPORTATION LABORATORY, MIT (1969 - 1973) Research Assistant / Research Staff. Worked on redesign of the 7ft X 5ft closed jet wind tunnel to an open jet anechoic tunnel. Developed dynamic programming methods to optimize the flight paths of VTOL aircraft with respect to perceived noise. Developed analytical methods for estimating individual and community response to aircraft noise, and methods of alleviation through aircraft design and regulation. Performed market research for a 30 - 50 seat aircraft on short-haul, low/medium density routes. HAWKER SIDDELEY AVIATION (1968 - 1969) Project Engineer, Propulsion Systems. Designed and supervised construction and rig testing of model thrust deflectors for fan-lift engines for VTOL commercial aircraft (HS133/141). Wrote computer program to simulate engine cycle and determine effects of engine bleed on performance. Assisted working party on formulation of Air Registration Board requirements for VTOL aircraft. BRISTOL SIDDELEY ENGINES (1962 - 1968) Graduate Apprentice/Development Tool Engineer. Trained in basic machine shop practice, and all aspects of production; also studied research, development, design and testing of aircraft engines. Tested new tools and investigated problems of manufacturing Olympus 593 engine for Concorde. PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS AND ACTIVITIES AIAA Associate Fellow.
