I really love the
sciences particularly those connected to astronomy like
astrophysics, cosmology and quantum physics, although I am
by no means an expert in any, just a very keen amateur. I
think this is why I became an aero engineer as at the age of
17, this was about as close as I could get to the science
based career.
My first experience of
engineering was at Rolls Royce in Bristol England, where I
served an apprenticeship as a mechanical and production
engineer in the aeronautical industry manufacturing jet
engines for the military. I am now working as a Quality
Engineer involved in the qualification of the cabin air
systems for the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, My role as
Quality Engineer has given me the opportunity to engage in
conformity of 787 components including authorized signing of
8130-9 and 8100-1 FAA forms for test articles and test
setup. This is existing because not only is the 787 a new
concept in aeronautical travel, but my particular project is
also introducing a new and unique way of providing air
supply to aircraft travelers, offering a safer and more
comfortable environment in which to travel. (update below)

25 April 2009 update,
787 actuator development, conformity and qualification
testing completed successfully, I am now moving onto the
Sikorsky Blackhawk UH60, H92 and S92 programs for conformity, qualification
and Quality Engineering of the main and tail rotor fright control systems.

I have decided to put
this web site together in order to promote the things in
which I am interested and as a new way to invite prospective
employers to take a look at who Nick Sarahs is. As time goes
by I hope to add relevant features to this site that may be
of scientific or engineering interest, and maybe items of
more humor to inject a little fun and enjoyment.
