Emprexx Announces New Flutter DER
Emprexx Aerospace is pleased to announce our Engineering Manager, Mark Olivier, has recently received his DER Certification in Flutter for both 14 CFR Parts 23 and 25 airplanes.
Robert has actively participated in multiple FAA certification projects involving analytical and flight test flutter clearance for small and large airplanes. He has expertise in static and dynamic aeroelasticity, flutter analysis and flight test, steady and unsteady aerodynamics and test validation, structural dynamics and GVT validation, FAA and foreign airworthiness authority requirements, Advisory Circular and Policy requirements, and certification procedures.
As part of his 22 years of aerospace experience, Robert has 12 years of experience in static and dynamic aeroelastic modeling and analysis for FAA and EASA certification. Robert has worked with most of the current and flutter DERs and FAA flutter staff and has developed strong working relationships within the dynamic aeroelasticity community.
Emprexx Announces New Lead Engineers
Emprexx Aerospace is pleased to announce Dr. Etienne Maxime and Mr. Paul Thomas have joined the team as lead engineers with responsibilities for loads, dynamics, flutter, and aerodynamics.
Etienne Maxime has thirteen years of aerospace engineering experience including a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Washington. He joins Emprexx from Aviation Partners Boeing where he led the loads and dynamics engineering department in support of Supplemental Type Certificates for winglet installations on Boeing 737 Next Generation, 757, and 767 transport aircraft; and Dassault Falcon 2000 business jets.
Paul Thomas has nine years of aerospace engineering experience including an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Washington. He joins Emprexx from Analytical Methods (AMI) where he led the engineering department in support of new aircraft designs, aerodynamic modifications and improvements, and new product development.
Josh and Andrew will be responsible for leading Emprexx’s engineering staff and program execution.
Emprexx Makes Better Aircraft Everyday with MSC Software
Emprexx is honored to be featured in the latest edition of MSC Software’s magazine, Simulating Reality. Check out Mark Olivier’s article to learn how Emprexx’s engineers use MSC Nastran and Patran for aircraft design, analysis and certification for loads, dynamics and flutter.
