Quick Overview

For those of you in the dark here is a quick overview of where I am and what I'm doing.
The engineering department: Me and my supervisor Terry.

This summer I am working at JAARS, Inc. (Jungle Aviation and Radio Services) which is a part of Wycliffe Bible Translators that provides technical services to bible translators overseas. I am working in Research and Development on designing and implementing modifications to mission aircraft to ready them to enter the mission field. I am currently working on 2 major projects, one is installing a fire detection system of the engine compartment of the new Kodiak in order to prepare it to go to Paupa New Guinea in August. The second is a pair of cargo pods to be used under the wing of a Pilatus PC-6. These cargo pods help the aircraft's center of gravity (CG) and allows cargo (such as food for markets like fish, rice, and dead animals) to be placed away from passengers in Indonesia.

My desk and office.

Go CNC machine, Go! Cut out those parts!

yay the fun stuff! You couldn't have found a more appropriate job, so glad that you are at JAARS this summer (even if it means I miss you!).
