Lead design and flight testing. Logistic Gliders Inc. was founded to develop innovations in aerial resupply. Our goal is to identify less expensive means of aviation logistic support. We are currently working on low-cost, attritable, unpowered & powered gliders. We have completed twenty-two (22) prototype glider flight tests and all prototypes were at 100% scale. Prototypes were single use, so each test required building a new glider. Unpowered gliders can carry up to 1,600 pounds of supplies over a distance of 70 miles while powered gliders can fly significantly farther. Our gliders are sized to deploy from Marine MV-22, KC-130, CH-53; Navy MH-60; USAF C-130, C-17, CV-22, UH-1, HH-60, & MH-139 ; Army CH-47 & UH-60; and many international fixed and rotary wing aircraft.Website: http://www.logisticgliders.com/Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzbDrlSCorgPatent: USPTO 10,040,549 B2Academic Paper: "Technology Demonstration of a 1-ton Single Use Disposable Glider," AIAA SciTech 2019 Forum, 7-11 January 2019, San Diego, California, AIAA paper number 2019-2100

Complete engineering studies, detailed design, and a full-scaled 50,000 pound (23,000 kg) prototype which was successfully flight tested for a government customer.

Invented and responsible for design, development, and testing of a new airdrop technique (Gravity Air Launch - GAL). Successfully completed 3 flight tests from the C-17A aircraft. Drop Test Articles (DTA) were twice as long at 65 feet (20 m) and 20% heavier at 72,000 pounds (33,000 kg) than largest previous C-17 airdrop loads. Received two US patents on GAL.Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltC18q4Td4APatents: USPTO 7,338,015 and 7,861,972Academic Paper: "Flight Testing of a Gravity Air Launch Method to Enable Responsive Space Access," AIAA SPACE 2007 Conference & Exposition, 20 September 2007, Long Beach, California, AIAA paper number 2007-6146.

Completed a Phase I design study for a sub-orbital spaceship that used the wings, tail surfaces, and landing gear from the Northrop T-38 Talon supersonic jet trainer and the fuselage shape from the German V-2 rocket. Design replaced Benson's previous HL-20 lifting body design. Design incorporates Variable Ballistic Control that reduces entry acceleration to 3 G's.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4igGj__lUQAcademic Paper: "Design Description of the Benson Space Company Spaceship," AIAA SPACE 2009 Conference & Exposition,14 - 17 September 2009, Pasadena, California, AIAA paper number 2009-6693.

Invented the Trapeze-Lanyard Air Drop (t/LAD) method, which is a new air launch method for safely launching personnel and cargo into low Earth orbit. Three flight tests were successfully completed from Scaled Composites' Proteus aircraft using 25 foot (7.6 m) long Drop Test Articles. Received US patent on t/LAD.Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4q-zIz4fBIPatent: USPTO 7,458,544Academic Paper: "Flight Testing of a New Earth-to-Orbit Air-Launch Method," AIAA JOURNAL OF AIRCRAFT, Vol. 43, No. 3, May–June 2006, pages 577 to 583.

Co-inventor on US patent for a new propulsion cycle for hybrid rocket motors. Provided technical support on two US Air Force Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contracts and two Phase II SBIRs for SpaceDev's Streaker launch vehicle and their Maneuvering and orbital Transfer Vehicle (MoTV) space tug.Patent: USPTO 7,404,288

Chief Engineer and Test Pilot for the Atmospheric Test Vehicle (ATV), world's tallest rotorcraft at 63 feet (19 m) with the world's largest tip rocket powered rotor at 56 feet (17 m) diameter. ATV was a landing demonstrator for a single-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle. Piloted all three test flights.Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kp63-an2ts&feature=relatedAdditional Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_Rocket
