ABOUT
I have had a varied and interesting career in Aerospace. I started in Aerodynamics and then moved into Systems Engineering, working mainly on Fuel and Mechanical Systems.
I have experience of the whole design lifecycle from defining requirements progressing through the lifecycle design reviews, defining and carrying out tests as part of the V&V process and integrating systems into the platform.
I have consistently demonstrated that I can get up to speed with new projects in a short amount of time and can quickly provide valued input. I like learning in general, and enjoy the satisfaction of having learned another system.

Patents
Aircraft System Refuel Piping (20120025025). A novel concept of adding ‘Riblets’ to the inside of fuel pipes to reduce skin friction and therefore reduce the time to refuel.
Flame Arrestor Cartridge (20120273239). A different type of flame arrestor made from 3D printed titanium with a reticulated structure, to perform as a flame arrestor but smaller and lighter than conventional flame arrestors.
SPONSORSHIP
SEB Aerospace is very proud to be supporting Lauren Dunleavy in her exciting career in motorsport. Lauren has already won karting championships (www.lauren-dunleavy) and at only 15, has recently had a very successful F4 test day (www.bristol247.com).
