1970-2016

Anita Abrego, NASA Aerospace Engineer

Ms. Anita Abrego’s research encompassed both flight and wind tunnel testing of rotorcraft. Research topics included vibration testing of the XV-15 tiltrotor research aircraft, the aerodynamic performance of ducted fans, descending flight of tiltrotor aircraft and aeroelastic stability testing of rotor blades. Her work in tiltrotor descent aerodynamics testing in the wind tunnel was in direct support of the V-22 Osprey aircraft development program. In 2003, Abrego assisted the Space Shuttle Columbia Accident Investigation Board, and in 2005, she was deployed on a 30-day field assignment to assist the US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with the Hurricane Katrina response and relief efforts.
