Blue Sky Innovations Group Appoints Aerospace Engineer Jimmy Tubbs as Chief Technical Officer

Timothy T. Archer, CEO of Blue Sky Innovations LLC, an international aviation consulting firm, announces that aerospace engineer Jimmy Tubbs has joined BSI as the team's chief technical officer.

Tubbs will be responsible for developing engineering plans and serving as a designated engineer representative (DER) to facilitate modifications and certifications for global clients. His expertise will streamline aircraft and power plant design, development of type certificates, and management of FAA STCs for power plant, airframe and avionic modifications and upgrades.

In addition, Tubbs will be heavily involved in working with government regulatory agencies around the world to obtain the proper certifications required for BSI clients to sell beyond their borders.

“I have personally known Jimmy for over 30 years. During that time, he’s been as a customer, supplier, competitor and, most of all, friend,” says Archer. “Jimmy's engineering and regulatory experience round out our team and bring the balance needed to meet all our customers’ requirements. His vast experience in aerospace engineering, general aviation, and working with government agencies will be a tremendous asset, and I’m honored to have him on our team.”

"When Tim called and told me about his plan to launch Blue Sky Innovations Group, I was very intrigued. When he asked me to join the team, I was honored. Tim and Ana are true aviation experts who know how to grow business on a global level. I am really looking forward to being part of such a professional team and the opportunity to help grow BSI and their clientele,” says Tubbs.

Tubbs has been serving the general aviation industry for over 50 years as an aerospace engineer, A&P mechanic, FAA-designated engineering representative (DER), accident investigator and licensed pilot. For much of his career, he has developed modifications and certifications to build and convert piston engines and component parts.

Jimmy spent 17 years as an civil engineer and engineering supervisor for the US Air Force where he developed the SUU-21A training bomb dispenser; conducted the F-102 compressor stall program; and led the development of the T-38 lead-in fighter. Jimmy left the position with the Air Force when he purchased Daily Tubbs Aero, Inc., a company that sold aircraft piston engine component parts and developed modifications to general aviation airplanes.
After operating the company for six years, Daily Tubbs Aero, Inc. was sold to a predecessor company of Danbury Aerospace, Inc. Jimmy was the vice president of Engineering for Danbury Aerospace, Inc. for 31 years before Danbury was acquired by Continental Motors.
