Paper Authors
Brenda A. Haven Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott
Brenda Haven teaches thermodynamics and three jet propulsion courses at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU). Prior to coming to ERAU in 2008, Haven retired from the Air Force after 25 years working as an engineer in support of the F-15 fighter, advanced turbine engine research and development, and as a professor at the Air Force Academy.
Michael Kenneth Fabian Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Michael Kenneth Fabian teaches thermodynamics, jet and rocket propulsion, and thermal power conversion courses at ERAU. He retired from the Air Force after 25 years and worked on advanced rocket engines, jet engines, and directed energy weapons. He was Program Manager for the first Lamilloy turbine, Branch Chief for world’s first cryogenic full-flow rocket cycle, Deputy Director for Propulsion Directorate developing next generation jet engines with three flow paths instead of turbofan’s two paths, and Faculty Advisor for ERAU Jet Dragster Project, Formula Research Club (March race car chassis), University Space Launch Initiative Club. He has a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering, University of Notre Dame, 1995, M.S. in aeronautics and sstronautics, University of Washington, 1989, (Oates Fellow), and a B.S. in aeronautical engineering, U.S. Air Force Academy, 1984.
