Provide leadership and strategic planning for a twenty employees, high tech company. Techsburg engages in applied research and development (mostly proprietary and secret) for aerospace companies, gas turbine industries and government laboratories, with focus in unmanned air vehicle (UAV), aero-propulsion and turbomachineryRESEARCH AT TECHSBURG, INC (Major technical accomplishments):As a key contributor to a team led by Honeywell Aerospace, Techsburg, through wind tunnel and flight tests, has reduced the acoustic signature and improved on the controllability of the 18” T-Hawk hovering UAV. The T-Hawk was used in combat in Iraq, Afghanistan, and in civilian reconnaissance in the Japan’s nuclear power plant damaged by the tsunami (Wall Street J., April 20, 2011).Working with Northrop-Grumman and airplane propeller manufacturers (Hartzell and McCauley), through wind tunnel and flight tests, has improved the aerodynamic performance and reduced noise (>10 dB) from propeller driven military aircrafts. Results being used in the next generation manned and unmanned military airplanes. (Secret)Research programs with GE Aircraft Engines and Pratt&Whitney to improve the aerodynamic performance of low pressure turbines (LPT) at extremely low Reynolds number for very high altitude propulsion turbine engines. Using Techsburg’s unique, low pressure (1 psia) transonic cascade wind tunnel, families of LPT airfoils were tested and evaluated. The best performing blade geometry was then used in future production engines. This resulted in significant reduction in the specific fuel consumption and improved the range of military engines. (Proprietary)Summary: At Techsburg, Inc, Ng is responsible for accumulative, total revenue of ~$30M. Annual revenue for Techsburg is over $3M.
