Aircraft structures.Biography
Instructor of algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics and physics since 2004 at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
A retired Aerospace Engineer with Naval Air Station (NAS) at Jacksonville for 21 years. My assignment with the NAS JAX was to overhaul Trainer (T44, and T34), F18 and F14 fighter aircrafts. I performed Center Barrel replacement to extend the life of the F18 aircraft for another full life. Many aircrafts came in required some kind of rework and/or repair. Before each rework was performed, the design had to be analyzed to determine its stress/strength to ensure that the repair would be full life prior to return to service.
Prior to working for NAS JAX, I have worked for General Electric Company with the Aircraft Engine Group in Cincinnati for 11 years. Many of my works included analytical and design to determine engine performance cabin noise reduction and vibration.
After long hours of work, for relaxation, I spend hours in my garage to build fine wood furniture for my home. My style is James Krenov; it has an oriental touch to it. I am currently building a Chris Craft style wooden boat.
