I have been working to improve airplane engine-out glide performance by providing pilots and airplane and avionics manufacturers with better/more accurate glide performance information.
I am using biomimicry to reduce the noise of small UAS propellers/rotors.

5 months ago
I am seeking funding to empirically validate analytical models of glide performance, specifically the turnback maneuver following engine failure on takeoff, with the end goal to create an in-cockpit glide performance tool.
About
PhD in Engineering Science (Thermal and Fluid Mechanics) from The University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI)
Dissertation: A viscous analog to Prandtl's optimized lifting line theory utilizing rotating biquadratic bodies of revolution
MS in Aviation Systems from UTSI
Thesis: A conceptual design of a general aviation hands-on-throttle-and-stick (hotas) system
BS in Aerospace from Middle Tennessee State University
I have published work to include in flight simulator cost effectiveness, the transfer of training from low fidelity flight training devices to airplanes, noise reduction of small UAS propellers/rotors, and engine-out glide performance.
I teach courses in aerodynamics and aircraft performance.
