During the late 1990s, he served as European correspondent for Rotor & Wing magazine.

Now, Ian is launch editor of www.windtunnelweb.com, a website/newsletter about how wind tunnels will be of ever-increasing importance in reducing fuel consumption, drag, noise, and therefore pollution in these days of spiraling fuel costs and increasing pressure on the environment. He serves as editor of the website’s ancillary periodical, Global Wind Tunnel Journal.
