Engineering Experience
|
This video shows the hardware that I designed for the NASA Glenn Research Center (0:29 - 0:56). The hardware was used to study mode transitions for TBCC vehicles.
|
This video shows the hardware that I designed to support the X-1 engine test at NASA Langley's 8 foot high temperature tunnel. This engine was designed to power the X-51 Waverider. The image linked HERE shows another angle of the engine and hardware installed in the test tunnel.

This video shows the NASA WB-57 as it leaves Nellis Air Force Base. The plane has a "grey" looking belly, which houses some of the optical hardware that I designed.
