Gundlach Aerospace LLC
Driven by my lifelong passion for aircraft design, I founded Gundlach Aerospace LLC in 2013 to provide clients with exceptional consulting services in aircraft conceptual design, Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) product development, UAS market analysis, and systems analysis. UAS are also referred to as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA), or simply drones. While working with numerous UAS prime contractors, suppliers, universities and government program offices over the course of my career, I have helped develop over 35 unique UAS that achieved at least first flight, including inventing and leading the development of the Insitu Integrator (now the RQ-21A Blackjack) and leading the Aurora Flight Sciences Orion Ultra-Long Endurance UAS. I regularly develop new UAS systems and invent enabling technologies, which has led to five patents. As a foremost UAS expert, I have written three authoritative books published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), including the most comprehensive UAS textbook, a study of Naval Research Laboratory UAS development, and a forthcoming book (May 2016) dedicated exclusively to the emerging field of civilian UAS with a broad overview of civil and commercial UAS missions.
Leveraging over two decades of experience designing and developing UAS for government and industry, I welcome inquires on how Gundlach Aerospace can support your team.
