Jon is a co-founder and serves on the Board of Catalyze Dallas’ (now Catalyze Partners) first affiliate company, Metro Aerospace, which has commercialized fuel savings and emissions reduction technology sourced from Lockheed Martin to both government and commercial aerospace markets. Jon previously served as Vice President of Business Development at Metro Aerospace and assisted in forming and standing up the company, pursued strategic opportunities, and cultivated commercial relationships for the Microvanes product. Working in close collaboration with Lockheed Martin, Metro Aerospace brings Microvanes to both military and commercial operators for the C-130, L-100, C-17 and other large rear cargo door aircraft. To date, Microvanes have proven to be one of the most cost effective improvements for these aircraft by reducing tail-section drag, resulting in as much as 3% to 6% fuel savings when at cruise conditions, significantly lowering operating cost while extending flight time and enhancing payload capability.http://metroaerospace.com/
