Paul M. Bevilaqua Manager, Advanced Development Manager, Advanced Development Programs, Lockheed Martin Corporation (retired) For the conception and demonstration of the multi-cycle propulsion system and other technologies enabling the production of the F-35 supersonic V/STOL Strike Fighters. Lockheed Martin won the Joint Strike Fighter competition when the X-35 demonstrator aircraft made a short takeoff, flew supersonic, and then landed vertically, the first time any aircraft had accomplished this feat. This was made possible by its innovative multi-cycle propulsion system, invented by Paul Bevilaqua. Paul M. Bevilaqua Bevilaqua has spent his career making key theoretical contributions as well as practical innovations in V/STOL aircraft design. He earned a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Notre Dame and an M.S. and a Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University. His study of turbulent wakes identified the importance of the dominant vortices shed from the body on the development of the wake. As a U.S. Air Force officer at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, he worked on the turbulent jets from a V/STOL Search and Rescue aircraft. His research was actually incorporated into a VTOL interceptor aircraft being developed for the U.S. Navy’s Sea Control Ship. Bevilaqua accepted an offer to become Manager of Advanced Programs at Rockwell International’s Navy aircraft plant, where this aircraft was being developed. When this ship program was cancelled, Bevilaqua was hired as Chief Aeronautical Scientist at the Skunk Works. DARPA subsequently approached him about adapting the Navy interceptor as a supersonic V/STOL strike fighter to replace both the Harrier and Hornet. He proposed the multi-cycle propulsion system, which can be switched from a turbofan cycle to a lift fan cycle for V/STOL performance. He also suggested developing a variant with a conventional engine to replace the F-16 Falcon. Bevilaqua then led the team that demonstrated the feasibility of developing variants of this aircraft for all three military services. .

  • Dr. Paul Bevilaqua - the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at 6:00 P.M
    Dr. Paul Bevilaqua - The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. Lee Liu Auditorium in Howe Hall The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is a single aircraft developed to meet the multirole fighter requirements of the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and the country’s allies. The Air Force variant is a supersonic, single engine stealth fighter. The Navy variant has a larger wing and more robust structure in order to operate from an aircraft carrier, while the Marine Corps variant incorporates an innovative propulsion system that can be switched from a turbofan cycle to a turbo shaft cycle for vertical take-off and landing. This novel propulsion system enabled the X-35 demonstrator to become the first aircraft in history to fly at supersonic speeds, hover, and land vertically. This lecture will describe the technical and program challenges involved in growing an innovative idea into an international program with engineers from a half dozen countries developing a replacement for multiple aircraft types. Dr. Bevilaqua is a Fellow of the AIAA and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He subsequently joined Lockheed Martin as chief engineer of the SKUNK WORKS®, where he played a leading role in creating the Joint Strike Fighter. He invented the dual cycle propulsion system that made it possible to build a stealthy supersonic V/STOL Strike Fighter, and proposed designs for conventional and Naval variants of this aircraft in order to share development costs between the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps. He then led the engineering team that demonstrated the feasibility of building three variants of this aircraft..
