Background

About Ryan Merrington

Experience with designing and developing UxV platforms and systems for both defence and commercial applications. I have managed engineering teams to deliver high-complexity projects, including new aircraft, and have designed a range of unmanned systems, from aircraft to ground vehicles and sea-based platforms. Past projects include heavy-lift multirotor drones, large 3D printed unmanned long-endurance propeller and jet powered aircraft with heavy application of additive manufacturing. Throughout my career, I have followed and implemented many engineering design practices to ensure the delivery of high-quality unmanned systems. I have also supervised, trained, and mentored junior engineers, maintained machine shops and shop floors, and created manuals and risk assessments for machines. In addition, I am a skilled UaV pilot with GVC qualifications and hold a Master's degree focused on Aerospace Dynamics from Cranfield University
