ConsulAir was
incorporated in 1994. For several years, business
relationships were cultivated between overseas
customers and the American industry. ConsulAir
consultants worked in Europe, the Far East, and
throughout the United States. ConsulAir furnished
consulting expertise for both foreign and American
aviation contractors as design engineers and
industry spokesmen.
The focus of ConsulAir
has shifted over the past years. Early in its
history, one of ConsulAir's principal officers,
Colonel William S. Lawrence, USMC (Retired), was
approached to consult as an aviation expert for
litigation. Since that time he has been involved with over 280 aviation mishaps, both helicopter and fixed
wing, conducting investigations of both military and
civilian aircraft. He has also consulted as a design
engineer on various projects, as an adjunct
professor in aviation sciences, and, in a parallel
path, spent 12 years in part-time law enforcement.
Colonel Lawrence is now
the sole remaining principle officer. He is a
recognized expert in the role of the pilot in
aircraft operations. He is also an expert in the
aerodynamics and mechanics of flight, in aircraft
operations and the role of government in aircraft
safety and regulations. He has testified numerous
times concerning the relationship between the
government and the civilian aircraft industry. He
also functions as an expert in aircraft safety, the
role of safety in aircraft operations, and the
anatomy of aircraft accidents.
