Bobby was hired to work at NASA in 1963 during the Apollo program, but spent most of his career working on supersonic aircraft engine research and development.  He was considered one of the leading experts in this field in the United States, because of his expertise and many innovations.  Bobby retired from NASA in 1996, and then started Techland Research Inc. where he spent more than 20 years continuing to make major contributions to advanced supersonic aircraft technology.  His engineering legacy will live on through his aerodynamic innovations and also through the many researchers he mentored over the years, especially at NASA.
