This capability is added to the existing total pressure, temperature and unsteady flow resolution methodologies currently in place. His work demonstrated the key elements of effective IT&E based methodology for resolving inlet flow swirl propulsion system integration issues on new or upgraded weapon systems. Davis provided technical and project management contributions to development of gas turbine engine modeling and simulation capabilities at AEDC applied via Integrated Test and Evaluation (IT&E) concepts to both ground and flight test programs of the Air Force. Patterson contributed greatly to the success of AEDC over the years through his work in engineering and maintenance of all types of air-moving plant equipment and through his in-depth experience and leadership at every organization level.ĭr. He was deputy general manager of then AEDC contractors Calspan/Microcraft when he retired in 1994. Patterson made vital contributions to AEDC during 35 years of outstanding service in plant engineering, control systems, specialized power supplies maintenance and management. Gray is also recognized for providing a lifetime of pioneering accomplishments for AEDC in all facets of the center including test operations, test investments, civil engineering, mission support, contract source selection and contract management.
He is cited for his exemplary performance in technical management, mission support and contract source selections that have enabled AEDC to remain a national asset.
