About Mike Phillips

I get excited every time I see an aircraft take flight. Making aircraft fly is my passion. I thrive in and seek out dynamic work environments. I believe change is healthy and needed to create the space for something new. I enjoy technical challenges, problem solving, and plotting the course that others will follow… and eventually improve upon. These challenges provide me an opportunity to learn as well as teach and coach others.Specialties:Aerospace System IntegrationAircraft-Propulsion System Integration, Aircraft Subsystem Integration, Developmental & Experimental Flight Test, andAircraft Flight Dynamics, Control, and Simulation.
