  • Hi I am currently the Head of Flight Safety, Quality and Safety Assurance at Hybrid Air Vehicles the world leaders in hybrid aircraft.
    A Mechanical Engineer who’s aerospace career started as an apprentice in the Fleet Air Arm (Royal Navy) reaching the level of Chief Technician before joining BAE SYSTEMS as a Senior Airworthiness Engineer on Fixed Wing Combat Aircraft.

    Whilst at BAE SYSTEMS David undertook postgraduate Masters in Systems Safety Engineering (Aerospace) at Lancaster University.


    I have specialised in
    Aviation Safety whose work has taken me all over the world as the Flight Safety Lead in the USA for the F35 program up to First Flight and the aircrafts integration into the new Queen Elizabeth class Aircraft Carrier.

    I have also been a Senior Engineering Manager for BAE SYSTEMS in Australia, Senior Engineering manager for multiple contracts in the UK and the Middle East before joining the consultancy arm of Thales as Chief Engineer on Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles.


    I was instrumental in the development of Safety Cases in support of the development and integration of Precision Guided Low Collateral Tactical Systems and the implementation of an Independent Safety Assurance capability within the MoDs Defence Procurement & Support Agency.


    My latest role at Hybrid Air Vehicles sees me heading up the Safety & Quality Assurance team supporting the development of a new aircraft type that combines lighter-than-air technology with the best of aeroplanes and helicopters to bring brand new capabilities to aircraft to the market for both commercial and military use.
     The Airlander aircraft has capabilities that no other aircraft has coupled with less noise, less pollution, a lower carbon footprint, longer endurance and better cargo-carrying capacity, credentials that will make hybrid aircraft a mainstay of aviation in the future. The Airlander exists to change the way things fly.


    Moreover, David is a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and is the current Chairman of the Aerospace Technical Professional Network Executive and a standing member of the IETs Transport Policy Committee.
