Mark Page

Page started his career in 1980 as an aerospace engineer for McDonnell Douglas. There he first worked on the MDF-100 and MD-XX programs, and as head of Stability and Control on the MD-91, 92, and 94 propfan programs. Following this, he worked as chief aerodynamicist on the McDonnell Douglas MD-90. Then, after moving into the Research group, Page headed Stability and Control for NASA R&D programs including the F-16XL Laminar Flow Control testbed, High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) and Oblique Flying-Wing (OFW) programs. In his last three years at the company, Mark was technical program manager on the NASA/McDonnell Douglas BWB program where he developed the modern BWB configuration with Robert H. Liebeck and Blaine Rawdon.

From 1997 to 2000, Page worked with All American Racers in their aerodynamics department working on AAR's Champ Car program, eventually becoming their aerodynamics lead. Here he designed the aerodynamics for AAR's Eagle 987 and 997 Champ Cars.

From 2006 to 2012, Page served as chief scientist at Swift Engineering, developing designs for both their racecars and aircraft. In their racing department, he worked on the aero-shell design of Swift's racecars, including the Formula Atlantic Swift 014.a, Formula Atlantic Swift 016.a, Formula Nippon Swift 017.n, and their 2012 IndyCar proposal. Page also designed the bodies for Gary Scelzi's Toyota Celica Funny Car that raced in NHRA, and Toyota's 2004 Tundra race truck for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. In addition to series racecars, Page also worked on the aerodynamics for the Mazda Furai concept car. In their aircraft department, Page designed the Swift Killer Bee UAV, the rights to which would later be purchased by Northrop Grumman and renamed the Bat, as well as designed the Eclipse Concept Jet in partnership with Eclipse Aviation.

In 2012, after leaving Swift, Page co-founded DZYNE Technologies, where he served as vice president and chief scientist until 2022. Here he worked on a number of projects, including designing the aerodynamics for the Beta Alia, designing the Ascent 1000, a concept blended wing body jetliner, designing the Rotorwing, an electric whole wing VTOL UAV, and designing the all-composite diesel Mooney M10T trainer aircraft.

In 2020, Page co-founded California based aerospace company JetZero, where he currently serves as Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
