Andrew J. Stofan
Andy Stofan studying fluid sloshing
- ... that Andrew J. Stofan (pictured) was an expert on sloshing? Source: "In 1960 Stofan became a member of the new Rocket and Aerodynamics Divisions’ Chemical Rocket Systems Branch. There he studied the phenomenon of fluid sloshing inside propellant tanks. Sloshing could be caused by adjustments in the vehicle’s control system, launch vibrations and coasting in space. It was essential to understand and mitigate these occurrences so that the fuel remained in the proper position to be pumped out to the engine." ([1])

New and long enough. No apparent sourcing or paraphrasing issues. Nothing of concern on EARWIG's. Hook is interesting and sourced in-line. QPQ is done. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 18:22, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
