Hi Ken,
I am not aware of the details of Dr Mead's work relevant to his patent being
issued. However, I must point out that Dr. Franklin B. Mead, Jr. is the
research director at Phillips Laboratory a.k.a., Edwards Air Force Base. He
has been the Project Manager for more research projects than I can count;
working with notable researchers such as, Robert Forward and Cravens on
advanced propulsion systems. Dr. Mead's credentials are impecable.
