Mr. Dhar has extensive background in structural design and analysis of complex aerospace structures. His experience represents a lifetime of work with leading aero, engine, and space companies in North America and Europe in stress, structural strength, fatigue, and dynamics.

Mr. Dhar comes to the table with knowledge and experience in several popular analysis systems, including NASTRAN, PATRAN, Ansys, Ideas, Master Series, and NASA/Flagro. He is a valuable member of our analysis team while contributing mathematical understanding to load paths, stress, stability, and fatigue. He is also a capable stress analyst in the classical sense and brings years of experience in both military and commercial aerospace.

Performing both stress analysis and mathematical modeling, Mr. Dhar has worked for British Aircraft Corporation, Messerschmitt (A300B2 aircraft), Canadair (CL600 Challenger), Grumman Aerospace (Fusion Test Reactor), Pratt & Whitney (JT9D engine), Kaman Aerospace, Perkin-Elmer (YSB Telescope), Filton Bristol, General Electric (Unducted Fan and US Navy CASS) , Avco Lycoming (T800-APW engine), Sikorsky Aircraft, United Technologies Optical Division, IBM, E-Systems (ATARS, RF-4C, F/A-18D, RF-16 aircraft), Control Data, Martin Marietta (PW4168 Nacelle for A340 aircraft), FMC, Boeing Helicopter (EOTADS and V-22), General Dynamics, Textron Systems (Reentry Vehicle), Nordam (thrust reversals for small engines), Fairchild Dornier, Honeywell, Northrop Grumman (JSF, J-UCAS, and Advanced Hawke), Lockheed Martin, Vought Aircraft (787), and Boeing Aircraft (F22, 747-500X Cabin, and 777 Freighter), among others.

Ben is a friendly unassuming person with vast aerospace experience related to FAA, Mil-STD, STC, and R&D, and is familiar with IAS, BDM, classical methods, and formal report writing. He knows what it takes to get the job done right. We are pleased to have Mr. Dhar as part of our team.
