Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuca Palazzo is a flight test engineer with nine years of hands-on experience bridging mechanical engineering, quality assurance, and experimental aerodynamics. Based in Seattle, he blends rigorous academic training from the University of Washington (BE Mechanical Engineering, 3.86) with practical skills gained at Boeing, the Kirsten Wind Tunnel, and QuickSilver Aerospace. Luca’s curiosity drives him to dissect complex systems—from turbofan engines and robots to fuel injector rebuilds he did in a garage—bringing a mechanic’s precision to flight test programs. Currently pursuing a private pilot’s license en route to an instrument rating, he pairs pilot perspective with engineering judgment to improve aircraft performance and safety. Colleagues know him for meticulous data-driven testing and an unusual knack for translating shop-floor troubleshooting into actionable test plans.
