Larry Viterna

It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our Co-Founder and CTO, Dr. Larry A. Viterna.
Larry dedicated 18 years to Nautica Windpower, building upon his groundbreaking success in the industry at the onset of his 34-year career at NASA. His technical expertise endures to this day for the “Viterna Method” and for his acoustics work.
However, his legacy extends beyond engineering. In a rare combination of brilliance and humanity, he had a profound influence on the professionals and organizations he touched, many of whom have expressed deep gratitude for his impact on their lives.
We miss his warmth, his sense of humor, and his unwavering integrity.
His vision for affordable floating offshore wind through his patented self-elevating utility scale system lives on. Interested in partnering? Contact us to discuss demonstration steps.
