Hines President and Founder J. Paul Hines was joined by Program Manager and COO-Designate Iain Burnett, Corporate Development Consultant John Shulansky, and Christopher Bracey-Gibbon, International Marketing Director and Investor Relations.

A welcome meeting was hosted at the Connecticut State Capitol by Senator Gary D. Lebeau, Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, and included Andrea Scott, Director of the Connecticut Development Authority. Paul Hines said:

"the meeting provided an excellent opportunity to review the revolutionary Hines propulsion system and our future business plans with senior state leaders. I was impressed to learn about the remarkable aerospace technology and economic resources in Connecticut."

The Hines team also met with representatives and toured a number of aerospace facilities, including Pratt & Whitney, Bradley International Airport, Kaman Aerospace, Birken Manufacturing, Aero-Gear, and Aero Composite.

According to Iain Burnett:

"the plant visits were especially helpful to understand the quality of aerospace manufacturing and research capabilities. There is no doubt that within a 20 minute drive Hines has access to all the necessary engineering and manufacturing talent we would need."

Follow up visits are planned in the near future.
