Summary
Kevin Hainline is a GNC engineer with a decade of hands-on experience in flight control, currently developing actuation and VMS/FMS software for UAVs at Boeing. He combines practical lab integration (Iron Bird), servoloop and mixer design, and nonlinear simulation tools to close the loop from algorithm to hardware. His academic work on bell-shaped lift distributions informs novel control schemes and reflects a continual focus on aerodynamics-aware control. Based in Greater St. Louis, he brings deep experience across far-field rendezvous guidance to fixed-wing hydraulic actuator systems, bridging theoretical analysis and flightworthy implementation.
