Dr. Kenneth Fleming has extensive experience in aviation Operations Research and Economics. He specializes in analyzing airspace, air traffic control, and airline operational/management systems. A former military pilot with over 3,000 hours in nine different aircraft, he holds an FAA Commercial Pilot Airplane Single and Multi-engine Instrument Rating. During the past five years, he has been involved in a multitude of programs where modeling and simulation technologies were used to assess and evaluate airspace and airport operations, delay and capacity problems, and proposed new National Airspace procedures and processes. These initiatives included funded research programs, that total 1.5 million dollars, for the FAA, NARI, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Harris Corporation, NASA Ames Research Center and NASA Langley Research Center, as well as numerous other customers with a requirement for economic or operations research-oriented analysis in aviation systems and facilities. Dr. Fleming has also led the development of a number of proprietary airspace and airport modeling and analysis tools used in the study of system efficiency and operational capacity. He is a published and recognized expert in aviation economics as well as a multitude of other areas involving air traffic control and air traffic management.
