Thank you, Yamashita-san!

Yamashita-san participated in the weekly meetings of the boundary layer ingestion (BLI) project. He has provided insightful comments and suggestions about the research and helped the team gain a better understanding of industrial needs at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI). He also coordinated communication between the GTL and MHI, which facilitated progress of the BLI project. He brought MHI’s philosophy to the GTL and expanded everyone’s perspectives. Thank you, Yamashita-san!
