It is with sadness to announce the passing of Nippani Rao.

Nippani was a member of the first 85 Viper Team members. As the Materials Engineer, he was responsible for the materials for most exterior parts and the process to make the RTM hoods. He won many awards in the industry for his advanced work.

I have been told he was the kind soul of the group - always with a smile and a laugh.

He was last with his teammates on October 28th at the team reunion held at the Moose Preserve restaurant. The day before his death, Nippani reached out to the team through email while in the hospital. His teammates were part of his family.

Rest In Peace.

Nipponi once told me that only the Space Shuttle had bigger sections of RTM than the Viper Hood. Lotus Esprit Body was in the mix, too.

RIP
