01 / Development
From real aircraft
to what comes next.
I build from experience: maintaining aircraft, flying them, testing their simulated counterparts and developing new ways to connect pilots with information.
The perspective
The flight line, the cockpit and the code belong to the same story.
Charlie Hanger and FALCRIN are independent ventures. They draw on hands-on aircraft work, custom UAS development and an 18-month Microsoft Flight Simulator contract. Each project begins with an operational question and moves through research, prototypes, testing and refinement.
