Jack D. Mattingly
Professor Emeritus, Seattle University
Jack D. Mattingly received a B.S. in 1965 and an M.S. in mechanical engineering in 1967 from the University of Notre Dame and a Ph.D. in aeronautics and astronautics in 1982 from the University of Washington. During 45 years of experience in the analysis and design of propulsion and thermodynamic systems, he has written three engineering textbooks, developed aerothermodynamic cycle analysis models, and created engineering software for air-breathing propulsion systems. Mattingly worked in the Aero Propulsion Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where he directed exploratory and advanced development programs to improve the performance, reliability, and durability of gas turbine engine components. After 20 years of service, he retired from the U.S. Air Force in 1989 and joined the faculty of Seattle University. In 2000 he retired from Seattle University as Professor Emeritus in Mechanical Engineering to write textbooks, teach professional courses, and do consulting work.
Mattingly has more than 35 years of experience in engineering education. He wrote Elements of Propulsion (2005) and was a coauthor of the second edition of Aircraft Engine Design (2002) and Aircraft Engine Controls (2009).
