Felix cut his teeth in aerodynamics and flight mechanics as a scientific researcher at ZHAW in Winterthur where he worked on experimental aerodynamics under Prof. Dr. Leonardo Manfriani. He then went on to add a master’s degree in aerospace engineering at KTH in Stockholm to his CV. After various commitments at different companies including Pilatus Aircraft, SR Technics and Farner Air Services, Felix was hired as the first official employee at Dufour Aerospace, and has been knee deep in tilt-wing VTOL flight physics for a few years now. Their youngest team lead understands that modern distributed electric propulsion concepts allow for new solutions to old flight physics problems. At the same time, Felix tries to make use of proven, classical aircraft design procedures and borrow from previous tilt-wing vehicles as much as possible.
