Background

About Scott Wales

Competencies and Strengths Possess extensive knowledge of engineering principles, classical stress analysis techniques, finite element analysis and analytical substantiation methods. Comfortable resolving a wide range of complex technical problems that require ingenuity and innovation. Enjoy a challenging, fast-paced customer focused environment investigating and resolving technical issues relating to the needs of the customer as well as needs of production. Experience includes writing reports covering aircraft loading, decompression loads, static testing and the analysis of aircraft structure. Work background includes modification and repair to both private and commercial aircraft as well as design and substantiation of interior monuments and seats used in commercial aircraft. This experience ranges from the modification and improvement of existing designs to the development of new products. Significant Projects Conceived of and invented the TIMCO modular galley system. Worked as the Project Engineer and Structural Engineering Lead on a number of monument design and installation projects. The monuments designed and installed included closets, lavatories and galleys. Worked as a Structural Engineering Specialist on a lower lobe crew rest design for a Boeing 767-300. My work included review of the analysis of the modification to the floor structure and writing various reports. These reports included the interface loads report, decompression loads analysis, flammability test plan, the structural substantiation report and the static test plan. Wrote the structural substantiation report using classical hand analysis and finite element analysis to substantiate the installation of a wire strike protection system in an AS350 helicopter.
