A family-owned Colorado aerospace company is suing aviation giant Boeing, claiming it stole intellectual property, produced flawed tools that could have endangered astronauts and pilots and eliminated records to cover it all up.
The firm is one of five from across the country that are representing Wilson, which has been in business for about three decades.
Boeing had hit a bottleneck in trying to figure out how to install the engines on the rocket and was facing a critical design review by NASA, Warmbold said. “That’s when they approached Wilson for a solution and he provided it, but saw no benefit whatsoever.” “Boeing had accused them in public forums of having made a defective tool, and being honest folks, they took the position of, ‘Gee we must have done something wrong,’ ” said Denver attorney Lance Astrella, whose firm is working on Wilson’s case.
David Wilson is a graduate of the University of Colorado-Boulder. His son, a software engineer, and his wife work at the company. Astrella said Wilson has developed tools for General Motors, for nuclear plants and refineries. He worked with NASA on devices to allow astronauts to exit the Mir space station, operated by Russia, in case of emergencies.
The lawsuit claims that Boeing passed off people from some of Wilson’s competitors as Boeing employees during demonstrations and discussions of Wilson’s designs and work that were part of a confidential agreement. Boeing eliminated references to Wilson in its records to cover up its misappropriation of Wilson’s work, the lawsuit said.
