William Swan, Executive Vice-President, CRC Co-Founder
Bill's forty years of container design experience started at the Philadelphia Naval Aircraft Factory where he began working on vibration and energy absorption for aircraft catapult and arresting gear. For CRC's first project in 1956, Bill designed the first aluminum rotor blade container, and developed test data utilizing combinations of "dunnage" and Elastometric type suspensions. This system has been used successfully for many years based on the vibration and energy absorption criteria. Over the years he used his experience to build containers for many uses including shipping and long-term storage of ammunition, missile components, electronics and satellites. Bill earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia and is a Registered Professional Engineer in Pennsylvania.

He trained Navy personnel in both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets in using our containers in their repair cycle. He provided input on the design and fabrication of the Navy (NAVICP) multi-unit container (MUC). Chris leads our projects for the V-22 program, F-414 Engine program and the Satellite Container program. Chris graduated from Washington and Lee University with a B.S. in Physics-Engineering.
