John Stutz, PhD

Dr. Stutz fell in love with the field of External Ballistics while working for the US Missile Defense Agency working on plans to utilize the US Navy Electromagnetic Railgun to shoot ballistic missiles from space. He has been working on the idea of Aerospike Bullets for almost 20 years. During covid, he found the time to fully develop the theory and start working on prototype designs. A major breakthrough in the design occurred in January of 2024 and that lead to the startup of Aerospike Bullets, LLC.

Dr. Stutz teaches courses in External Ballistics at the University of West Florida for Engineers and Scientists and has written a textbook of the subject: External Ballistics: Theory and Application
