Jason is the Product Manager of Fluid Power at Dura-Bar. Dura-Bar manufactures ductile and gray continuous cast iron bar stock in rounds, squares/rectangles and tubes. With the recent publication of the 2023 NFPA Technology Roadmap, there’s an updated list of machine-level technology trends that we’re anxious to discuss on the podcast and in other venues. One of those topics is the increasing use of environmentally friendly materials, both for greater performance and to comply with regulations. Today, we’ve invited Jason into our forum to learn more about Dura-Bar and how their raw materials can help improve the fluid power applications we use daily.

This episode features Stewart McQuillan, inventor of the Aeroleg – a pneumatic system that allows a paraplegic to operate the foot controls on a helicopter. 

Stewart is one of the most interesting people we’ve spoken to on Fluid Power Forum – and he has one of the most innovative, yet simple and emotionally powerful, applications of fluid power technology.

He was a helicopter and fighter pilot in Britain’s Royal Air Force when he experienced a spinal cord injury that left him without the use of his legs. As an engineer and with an attitude of “I’ll show them…” We invited him into our forum today to hear his remarkable story and to learn more about this unique use of fluid power.
