Company Background

 |
GroundEffect Aerodrome Consulting Ltd. is a company formed by David G. Brown and Keith A. Walker for the purpose of serving clients in the management of existing airports and heliports. Other services related to heliport and airport airspace design requirements are also provided.
Both Keith and David have experience in the specialized business of heliport and airport services. GroundEffect Aerodrome Consulting was formed to capture the market of small and medium size projects serving municipalities, private industry, government and the health care sector. David G. Brown, Company President, has been in the aviation consulting business for approximately 15 years and worked closely with business partner Keith Walker for three years.
The name of the company refers to a condition of improved flight performance where an airplane or helicopter operates near the ground. It is due to the interference of the surface with the airflow pattern of the wing or rotor system, and it is more pronounced the nearer the ground is approached. All pilots and most heliport and airport operators understand this phenomenon of flight. The positive image of improved flight performance associated with a ground condition of an airport or heliport fits with what GroundEffect Aerodrome Consulting wishes to portray regarding the services we provide.
