Experience
Aircraft design & analysis
The mains aircraft and projects on which I have worked for the past years:
LH Aviation
2013/2014: Technical support - production (support with their Czech supplier)
DynAero
2014: Technical support for development and certification
Price Induction
Spring/summer 2012: Integration study of the French Price Induction's new turbofan engine on existing aircrafts.
Tasks covered:
- Comparative study of several possible installations
- Detailed risk analysis of such a configuration change
- Performance & mission analysis
- Certification issues & solutions
- Design changes
- Weight & CG
Aero Ae270: Mono-turboprop of 850 shp, pressurized, 9 passengers, MTOW 3800kg
- Member of the certification team (performance and flight mechanics)
- Responsible of aerodynamic of the upgrade program (increase in cruise speed, range, MTOW)
- Member of the civil program project team
Evektor EV-55: Bi-turboprop of 2*550 shp, 9 passengers, MTOW 4600kg
- Conceptual design: Basic dimensions, wing & tails aerodynamic design
- Calculation of derivatives for comparatives analyzes
- Loads computation for strength analysis
- Performance and flight mechanics analysis
Evektor VUT-100 : Single-engine piston of 315 shp, 5 persons, MTOW 1450kg
- Loads computation for strength analysis
- Performance calculation
- Preparation of some certification material
- Development flight tests
Wolfsberg Corvus-1F:Twin-engine piston 2*310 shp, 9 passengers, MTOW 3100kg
- Responsible of the whole aerodynamic (CS-23 Chapter B: Flight) for certification
- Responsible of two campaigns of flight tests
- Conception, analysis and flight-testing of winglets
- Solving flow separation issues on the fuselage with vortex-generators
- Combined together, those modifications allowed to increase by 400kg the MTOW according to FAR/CS-23 limits (OEI gradients)
- You can see some technical details of my work here
LET Aircraft Industries L-410 : Bi-turboprop, 19 passengers, MTOW 6600kg
- Programming of a Excel-based software for Route and Economy Analysis, intended to be used by operators for optimization of the aircraft operation costs
- Conception of a new wing in the framework of a complete upgrade program
Convertible - undisclosed company: Piston, 4 persons
Project leader: Convertible aircraft with a revolutionary technology
allowing for mass-production (low-end of the general aviation market).
This task required high level of innovation, open-mind and awareness to explore unconventional solutions and choose the best tradeoff.
The project goals were reached and the design is undergoing patenting process.
Flight dynamic models
- Aircrafts: Evektor EV-55 & VUT-100
- Helicopters: Bell 412 & Mi-24 Hind, for the company Bohemia Interactive
Business support & development
- Soditech (FR): Found strength engineers for long-term missions in France.
- Mediator for the shipment organization of pilot-sticks for the largest helicopter manufacturer.
Seminars
- Czech-French chamber of commerce
- HR solutions
- Business incubator of Kunovice
Private pilot
Flying for nearly 20 years, I have financed my private pilot licence, as I was a student, only by working as a maintenance mechanic in the aero-club.
It gave me a very strong practical experience of the aviation, that I am still using when designing or analyzing aircrafts.
