Email me if you can't figure that out :)
If you do email me, try to put an interesting word somewhere in the message so that it will get past my spam filter.

Research and Professional Interests

Aeroelasticity, rotorcraft aeromechanics, sailplanes.

I'm always looking for back issues of "Technical Soaring", OSTIV Publications, Motorless Flight Symposium Proceedings, and related publications.
