Hi,

I just decided to join the forum, after lurking it for quite some time.

Well, I am from Finland, I am flying small aircraft (I have flown quite many different types. I have currently a bit less than 300 hours of total experience.), and I am interested in aircraft design and aircraft building. I am self-studying aerodynamics, aircraft structures, etc. and also trying to contribute something with a open source aircraft initial sizing program (that is not end-user ready anytime soon, but I have something and have started with it, I am just hacking something, lets see if it becomes useful).

And I am interested in small aircraft (2-4 places), low power, laminar flow, high efficiency, and all kinds of technologies related to that (NLF airfoils, NLF bodies, boundary layer suction etc.). And I can work with composites.

I am a technical project manager at Nokia / Maemo Software (my speciality is Linux and open source) and my profession is thus quite unrelated to this hobby.

I am interested in all sort of things, and this is one of them.

Best Regards,
Karoliina Salminen
Espoo, Finland
