He supervised development and production engineering of aircraft flight control projects and maneuvering fly-by-wire actuation systems.
He co-patented a multi-fuseable shaft (high-performance drive-train device) and is a member of several engineering societies. A lecturer in statistical modeling, he presents Dr. Bob Abernethy’s Weibull Workshop including the Fulton Factor he developed for use in set comparison.
He also originated the concept of “assurance” using equivalent reliability and confidence.
In this episode, David discusses:
