Gulfstream Aerospace has promoted long-time company executive Vicki Britt to senior v-p of innovation, engineering, and flight. She succeeds Colin Miller, who is retiring after serving with the company for eight years.

 


In her new role, Britt is a member of the Gulfstream leadership team, reporting to president Mark Burns, and has responsibility for research and development; new aircraft program initiation; engineering and product development; flight, lab, and structural testing; and worldwide Gulfstream flight operations.

 


Britt brings more than 30 years of aerospace experience, including the last 25 with Gulfstream in areas such as stress, fatigue, and damage tolerance; new product development; and airframe engineering. She&nbsp;has also served as a staff scientist, director of aircraft structures, and, most recently, chief engineer and program manager of Gulfstream special missions. Before joining Gulfstream, Britt served with NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.

 


“During her tenure at Gulfstream, Vicki has been an invaluable technical leader, team leader, and mentor,” said Burns. “Her breadth of experience over an impressive range of aerospace engineering has prepared her well to lead Gulfstream’s innovation strategy and implementation.”
