Top 50 E NG I N E E R S Ian Tony Single, 25 BROWNE Radar Systems Integration and Test Engineer F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Mission Systems Group Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Texas Reginald G. Loftin, Photographer He’s had a passion for flight since he crafted toy model planes and dreamt of being an astronaut. Now he’s engaged in the system design and development of the U.S. military’s next generation of defense aircraft. The best part of the job is immersion in emerging technology and interfacing with pilots as they test new aircraft. Tony’s alter ego is an ancient African history buff. He is also an accomplished West African drum and dance performer. Doing Good: Tony spreads his positive optimism through mentoring and outreach activities with NSBE and Big Brother, Big Sister. His father nurtured Tony’s early interests, taking him to air shows and flight museums, and he feels compelled to give back to young people. Stats: B.S. Prairie View A & M University, electrical engineering; MBA candidate, Southern Methodist University. NSBE Chapter: Lockheed Martin-Fort Worth Alumni Extension. NATIONAL SOCIETY of BLACK ENGINEERS 15
