Chris' expertise is in integrated system development, flight experimental design, flight dynamics and control, and flight data analysis. Previously Chris was a Lead Systems Engineer for Boeing Commercial Airplanes developing automated production systems for future aircraft. Prior to that Chris was a Dynamics and Controls engineer at NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center where he worked on aspects of flight control and flight research for several aircraft and space systems including the X-48B and X-56A aircraft.
