"TECHNOLOGY and the EVOLUTION of AIRCRAFT DESIGN"

Dr. Daniel P. Raymer, noted aircraft designer, educator, and author of the best-selling textbook "Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach," will give a talk on the historical development of the key technologies which have allowed the development of today's aircraft. Fun and not too technical, this presents the first reasonably successful and influential implementations of the design features that have become a common part of the Aircraft Design toolbox. It isn't about aviation records or famous pilots, it's about the aircraft and the designers whose lead we follow to this day. The talk also sneaks in some of the fundamentals of aircraft design and analysis through a historical context.

Learn more about aviation/aircraft design technology evolutions
Learn some of the less well-known factors in aviation development
Learn more about the fundamental elements in the Aircraft Design Toolbox
Enjoy exciting historic stories from behind the scenes, which led to modern aviation and advanced aircraft design
Enjoy the presentation by a dynamic and inspiring speaker with many ingenious designs and publications
Network with the speaker, and other aerospace professionals, pilots, scientists, engineers, & business professionals, along with some educators, students, and enthusiasts

Daniel P. Raymer, Ph.D.

Dan Raymer is President of the design and consulting company, Conceptual Research Corporation. Recipient of the prestigious AIAA Aircraft Design Award, he is a recognized expert in the areas of Aerospace Vehicle Design and Configuration Layout, Computer-aided Design Methodologies and Design Education. During his 10 years in the Advanced Design Department of Rockwell (North American Aviation) he conceived and did the layout design of Rockwell's entries in what became the F-22, B-2, and T-45 programs, and was Head of Air Vehicle Design for X-31 from "blank sheet of paper" (CAD screen) to the configuration that flew (with minor fabrication-driven changes).

His industry career includes positions as Director-Advanced Design with Lockheed, Director-Future Missions at the Aerojet Propulsion Research Institute, and Project Manager-Engineering at Rockwell North American Aviation. He also served as a research engineer and aerospace design consultant at the famous RAND Corporation think tank.

Dr. Raymer is the author of the best-selling textbook "Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach" and the well-regarded layman's book, "Dan Raymer's Simplified Aircraft Design for Homebuilders". His newest book, "Living In The Future: The Education and Adventures of an Advanced Aircraft Designer", covers his career and his design projects including most of those described below. Raymer has received both Rockwell Engineer of the Year and the AIAA Summerfield Book awards, and was recently made a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Dr. Raymer teaches a variety of advanced design short courses including the well-known five-day Aircraft Conceptual Design Short Course which has been attended by over 3,000 engineers to date. Dr. Raymer is often a Forum Speaker at the EAA AirVenture (Oshkosh).

Dr. Raymer received B.S. and M.S. engineering degrees in Astronautics and Aeronautics from Purdue, an MBA from the University of Southern California, and a Doctorate of Engineering (Ph.D.) from the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). He is a recipient of the Purdue University Outstanding Aerospace Engineer Award which is given "to honor those alumni who have distinguished themselves in the aerospace industry". Dr. Raymer is listed in both Who's Who in America and Who's Who in Science and Engineering.
