Darrel Watson, Carl Lawrence Tapped For Top Posts
Bye Energy has named Darrel Watson Program Manager of The
Green Flight Project, and Carl Lawrence as Project Engineer.
The project is a collaborative effort between Bye Energy and
various industry partners to enhance the development of an electric
and electric-hybrid propulsion system (EHPS) for commercial
application. The objective of the project is to design and
integrate a proof of concept EHPS into a full-scale general
aviation airplane. Watson will lead the project team, while
Lawrence has responsibility for all technical aspects of the
program.
Charlie Johnson, COO of Bye Energy, thanked both individuals for
their leadership and commitment to the project, which launched in
late February. "Darrel is one of the premier quality and compliance
experts in the aerospace industry and is uniquely qualified to
manage this revolutionary project," he said. "Carl is truly a
pioneer in bringing successful energy efficient transportation
technologies to the commercial marketplace, and we are fortunate to
have him on The Green Flight Project team."
Watson served as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy as an Aircraft
Maintenance Officer after earning his bachelor's degree in
Mechanical Engineering at California State Polytechnic
University. He then joined Texas Instruments as a Quality
Assurance Engineer. Later he worked in program management
roles as well as numerous quality and reliability assurance
positions before transferring to Raytheon Aircraft Corporation to
serve as Director of Quality Engineering. After moving to Colorado
he joined Adam Aircraft Industries as Vice President of Quality
Assurance and Compliance Management.
Lawrence is former CEO of Eetrex Incoroporated, a Boulder-based
developer and manufacturer of vehicle battery systems and chargers,
battery management systems and the Inverger. He was founder of
Columbine Bus, which designed and delivered the nation's first
production hybrid-electric shuttle buses in 1995 to the Regional
Transportation District in Denver. Lawrence has a bachelor's degree
in physics from the University of Colorado and an MBA from the
University of Phoenix.
