    Senior Consultant

    Download CV

    Dr. Jean Slane has over 20 years of aircraft accident investigation and reconstruction experience. Other areas of expertise include aircraft performance analysis, flight testing, simulation, ice accretion and anti-icing system analysis, flight data recorder (FDR) analysis, and sound spectral analysis of cockpit voice recorders (CVRs).

    She developed ESi's industry leading software to reconstruct aircraft parameters from radar and GPS data and has published seven papers on the topic. She has produced mathematical models for flight simulators including the Airbus A320, McDonnell Douglas KC10, Beechcraft 1900D, Lockheed C-130J, and the Cessna 172. For accident investigation, she creates high fidelity aircraft models using ESI-j2 Recon, for physics-based 3D aircraft simulations.

    Dr. Slane has used her simulation and modeling expertise in a variety of non-aviation fields. She has designed or used simulators for an industrial crane experiencing high wind loading, oil rigs set adrift in the ocean, and a cargo ship and oil barge that collided in the Gulf of Mexico.
