(Professor of Aerospace Engineering) Paul Czysz is the Professor Emeritus of Aeronautical Engineering at Parks College in St. Louis. He spent 8 years at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and another 30 years working for McDonnell-Douglas. Dr. Czysz spent more than half his career at McDonnell-Douglas working on classified and compartmentalized projects. |
He testifies to the processes involved in maintaining secrecy on these projects and also warns against the human tendency to make every new technology into a weapon, pointing out that our weaponization of space does not address the threat of Earth terrorists, and the idea of using these weapons against extraterrestrial targets would be suicidal.
Dr. Czysz was heavily involved in hypersonic projects during his long tenure at the McDonnell-Douglas company. Later he became a Chief Scientist on the National Aero-Space Plane (NASP) project.
Currently he's a Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Saint Louis University, in addition to his current independent consulting work in hypersonics with Hypertech Concepts, LLC.
