Michael Cammack

Michael specializes in airplane configuration design leading multi-disciplinary teams to explore what the future of commercial airplane travel could be in the 2030’s or 2040’s.  His responsibilities involve bringing system level thinking to balance the design of the many airplane components and parts.  Airplanes are described as one million parts flying in close formation.  Many of these parts include structures, payloads, mechanical systems, electrical systems, environmental control systems, and flight control systems.  Michael works daily to understand the design benefits and tradeoffs among these systems to improve Boeing airplanes in fuel burn performance, reducing build costs, improving sustainability, and enhancing safety.  He has worked his whole career at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, has participated in designing the Boeing 787, 777-9, and future study airplanes.  He most recently is working on Advanced Concepts in BCA Product Development.

Michael got his bachelor’s in mechanical engineering from Brigham Young University in Idaho and his Master of Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
