For a long time, I was the lead Wind Tunnel Test Engineer for classified programs for Northrop Grumman. Early in the design of all flight vehicles, a ton of wind tunnel testing is needed to verify the design. Each of the major tunnels in the country has unique characteristics. It was common knowledge that the KGB would follow different wind tunnel, test people through airports and monitor their destinations. Therefore, it was simple to follow which tunnels were being used, and based on the characteristics of the tunnel, they could learn a lot about the design. We were often followed, and many times pictures were taken.

About Ray Jay P

I’m a retired Aeronautical Engineer who is trying to bring a different style to science fiction writing. I’ve always loved science fiction and I’m trying to write with deeper characters and create stories and situations that a reader can relate to. The be honest I love a hero that has amazing weapons, takes on hundreds of aliens and can survive anything, but I also want to read a situation and be able to relate to it. An extrapolation of what might really happen with a little less stretch in my imagination. I’ve been fortunate and I flew in the US Air Force for 10 years, during which time I flew C-130’s and visited 27 countries, then I flew T-38”s and trained the best pilots in the world, as well as the first female US Air Force pilots. I then was fortunate to spend 28 years in a major aerospace firm and worked on some of the best programs in the world including the F-23, F-35, B-2, Global Hawk and many I can’t tell you about…. I hope I can bring my real life experiences into my writing so you can appreciate my work.
