At the inaugural 2009 Kairos summit, Avadhany got the chance to introduce their GenShock technology, which generates energy with every bump, to Admiral WilliamOwens, former Vice-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
If, as expected, the participating senior officers -led by the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff WilliamOwens agree that the Marines require an aircraft capable of flying faster than helicopters to perform this "medium lift" mission, it is likely that the Pentagon will proceed with the procurement of the V-22 Osprey.
Before boarding my plane, I managed to squeeze in a visit to the splendid Owens-Thomas House, a neoclassical mansion designed by the Anglo-American architect William Jay.
