Through
cost effective management of resources, we are
advancing at a rapid rate with minimal outside
investment. Our consulting team includes many of
the leading scientists and engineers in their
respective fields. Outstanding results have
garnered international attention, including a
scientific paper presented to the international
convention of the American Institute of
Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA)*. One of our
aerodynamic designs has been chosen by the
government of Sweden to calibrate their wind
tunnel through the speed of sound. Our propulsion
programs are run by the leading experts in their
fields in an effort to deliver efficient and
reliable power at a fraction of the cost of our
competitors. At
Renaissance Research LLC, we strike a balance
between the advancement of new ideas generated by
unconventional thought, and the practicalities of
production. We are not a ‘think tank’,
nor an ivory tower. We seek out under-served
markets and leverage proven technologies to
achieve breakthrough products. Our research and
racing programs are focused on risk reduction of
new technologies. Combined with modern systems
integration, these strategies enable new product
development to be accomplished with a fraction of
the investment typical to our industry. We work
hard to accomplish our goals and objectives,
often moving our projects forward above spec and
under budget.
Our motto is
simple: We are the Can Do Crew.

Sam
Bousfield: Founder, Renaissance Research LLC
A native of
California, Mr. Bousfield earned a Bachelor of
Science with Honors from California Polytechnic
State University, San Luis Obispo, in 1979.
Post-graduates studies include marketing and
business management. With over 20 years
experience within the engineering and
architecture fields, Mr. Bousfield brings a blend
of fine engineering and aesthetic sense to his
projects. An architect is likened as a trained
problem-solver. Other architects, such as
Buckminster Fuller, have expanded their
creativity and problem-solving skills to generate
ideas  and products beyond the
traditional scope of their field. While currently
owning and operating two private businesses, Mr.
Bousfield joins the ranks of these distinguished
gentlemen, and continues to expand his generation
of innovative technologies.
Founder’s
Vision Statement
I feel it
important to introduce technology to assist Man
in his endeavors to change his environment, and
yet do so in such a way as to promote a future
for this planet. While our society has become
almost fixated upon the ‘latest and
greatest’, there is a higher level of
creativity that can be reached. That higher level
creates technology that promotes better living
100 years from now, as well as today.
From aircraft
programs that reduce fuel consumption by as much
as 75%, to next generation commuter systems,
Renaissance Research LLC provides workable
technology that surpasses the performance
of what is considered "cutting edge",
while reducing negative impacts on the
environment.
Creating this
future demands clarity of thought, a worthwhile
goal, strong intention to carry through, and,
supporting all, the idea that one can do
something about it. I feel that our work at
Renaissance Research embraces these demands, and
pushes the limits of each individual’s
capabilities.

With technical resources
that span the globe, Renaissance Research LLC is
poised to advance a series of new technology
breakthroughs. Current activities focus on
transportation, including aviation technology.
Through our on-going efforts, we are developing
faster, more efficient, and less costly
alternatives to modern air transportation. These
alternatives are expected to provide the next
generation of high speed executive and sport
aircraft. This family of aircraft would be
affordable to own and operate and are designed to
be flown by virtually any pilot at airliner
speeds in safety and security. Our racing efforts
are geared to prove the technology in the harsh
environment of competition, and pave the way for
commercial applications.
