As a NASA electronics engineering technician, he was involved with the V/STOL and 7-by-10 tunnel complex.Obit This project helped perfect "vertical and short take-off and landing" in the 1950's to the 1970's. These aircraft are capable of taking-off or landing verically on short runways. [While hovering is one of this aircraft's important maneuvers, helicopters are not classified as V/STOL….Wikipedia] At his death at 48, Shelton had been with NASA for 23 years.
