About Us

For the last 25 years Nathan has been inventing machines ranging from deep sea robots used for scientific research to consumer products manufactured in the millions. Some of his notable designs are the robotic Penn Hand, the Xootr line of kick scooters, the Voloci electric motorbike and the iDrive power-assist wheelchair. Nathan has won the Business Week Design Award, an IDEA Gold Medal, and a Popular Science Best of What’s New Grand Award, has been issued many US patents, and has written fifteen scientific and technical publications.

Nathan received his BSE, MSE and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, where he received a Graduate Research Fellowship and numerous academic awards. He started his career at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, developing, testing, and operating deep ocean robotic systems while serving as faculty advisor to MIT/WHOI graduate students. He left WHOI in 1994 and since then has run Technique Applied Science, a product development firm which is an active partner in Radon Sport. At Technique Nathan has designed thousands of unique parts and developed and prototyped new products for dozens of companies.

Nathan started racing in SCCA in 1993, building an ITS car and winning the NERRC and NARRC Championships in his first year. He then raced in World Challenge and IMSA (GTS2) in a Porsche 968 Turbo RS that he built himself, with several top five finishes, before retiring from driving. He has consulted in IndyCar and F1, but the Radon Rn.10 is the first complete formula car he has designed.

Glenn started out racing motorcycles, and was an Expert in motocross before turning to road racing, winning some east coast championships along the way. He then turned to four-wheel motorsports where he was a mechanic on a Spice/Ferrari and Denali in the GTP Lights series. He became lead mechanic on a successful Indycar team, supporting drivers like Roberto Guerrero, Al Unser, and Jim Crawford. Afterward he set up his own business and ran RAE, which started as a vintage support company with former F1, F5000, and Indy cars and competed at vintage races around the country. After winning the Monoposto vintage series, the team went sports car racing, running an RX7 with IMSA. They competed in numerous Sebring 12-hour and Daytona 24-hour races, with some top ten finishes and regular season poles and podiums to show for it.

Glenn has been operating GTP Motorsports for 12 years supporting the two-liter open wheel cars of the F2000 series. In 2006 his team won 9 of 12 races and captured the Championship for the year. They have also finished second twice and third once in the open series, and have won the Masters series twice with a total of 12 victories overall.

During the design phase of the Rn.10, Glenn was instrumental in providing practical solutions to resolving some of the inherent shortcomings of the previous F2000 car. He has a tremendous amount of hands-on knowledge for set-up parameters, track-specific tuning requirements, and the ability to interpret and respond to driver feedback. He will use this knowledge, experience, and organizational skills to create a winning atmosphere for trackside support as he assists Radon Sport LLC.

Robert has consulted on numerous high-level motorsport and aerospace projects around the world, including involvement with OEMs like Porsche and race series including Australian V8 Supercars, DTM, FIA GT3 and many others. He has extensive experience with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and worked with 2007 and 2009 F1 cars, both alone and in draft conditions, studying the effects of proposed rule changes to then current 2007 regulations. Previously he directed the design of an open wheel race car, providing organization, scheduling and leadership to a team of over 50 on the Cal Poly Formula SAE program. Robert also brings considerable aerospace experience, including CFD, wind tunnel, and flight test activities on the Predator series of UAVs.

Robert has been providing technical guidance to Radon Sport LLC for the aerodynamic aspects of their products. Initially he designed the wing and diffuser package for an existing F2000 chassis. The new wings showed a 1 second improvement when tested back-to-back with original designs. More recently he provided the complete external aero and cooling design of the Rn.10 chassis using CFD predictive design programs. The resulting design is safer and has shown great performance potential.

Miqdad Ali has performed design and development, simulation and test work for major competitors in highest levels of professional motorsport – from World and British touring cars, to Le Mans prototypes, to junior formula cars up through Formula 1 and Land Speed Records. His work has shown repeated successes on track and his work on F1′s CDG wing concept was published in Racecar Engineering.

Outside motorsport, Miqdad has significant experience within the automotive sector and has provided aerodynamic solutions to a number of major auto manufacturers. He has also been involved in various research activities involving transient aerodynamics, fluid structure interaction, vortex flows and flow visualization resulting in the publication of numerous technical and scientific papers. He has also worked in the hydrodynamic design of ship hull forms, propulsion design, warship aerodynamics, missile aerodynamics, HVAC and thermal management, gas dispersion and multiphase flows.

Miqdad was responsible for the aerodynamic design and development of the Rn.10 and provided technical guidance on the aerodynamic design of the Radon aero enhancements for Van Diemens.
