Aluminum Overcast
A good friend and I had the pleasure of flying on one of the last flying B-17’s – Aluminum Overcast. It was a once in a life time experience.

Wind Tunnel JWB
NextGen built three models for competing companies as part of the Aerodynamic Efficiency Improvement program. Boeing’s concept, shown here, involved a joined wing concept. The model included 13 hydraulic actuators, a dense sensor suite of accelerometers, gyroscopes, and others, and even “flew” in the wind tunnel along the vertical rail passing through the center body. The model proved successful and the data is still being scrutinized for possible future applications.

FOD Finder
One of my early projects with NextGen Aeronautics was the fabrication and integration of a milimeter wave radar system, camera, computers, and software for the location and identification of FOD (foreign objects and debris) on commercial runways. The FAA purchased several vehicles and tested them in Chicago and Hawaii among other places. The concept and radar were created by Trex Enterprises of San Diego CA.
