Summary
Andrew Mistele is an aerodynamics engineer with eight years of experience applying flight test stability & control, aircraft performance analysis, and CFD-driven design to both crewed and unmanned systems. He has supported HALE unmanned platforms at Northrop Grumman—owning flight-test parameter ID, aerodynamic database architecture, and performance updates used for fleet operations and USAF flight manuals—and now brings that expertise to Anduril Industries. Comfortable across wind-tunnel reduction, CFD post-processing, and mission-level performance planning, he couples hands-on flight-test analytics with flow-physics design solutions. An early researcher with AIAA publications on vortex and multi-airfoil modeling, he blends academic modeling rigor with operational, fleet-focused engineering. Also fluent in systems thinking from a Caltech systems certificate, he pursues machine learning interests to augment aerospace analysis and performance prediction.
