Wright Brothers Medal
The Wright Brothers Medal was conceived of in 1924 by the Dayton Section of the Society of Automotive Engineers, and the SAE established it in 1927 to recognize individuals who have made notable contributions in the engineering, design, development, or operation of air and space vehicles. The award is based on contributed research papers. The award honors Wilbur and Orville Wright as the first successful builders of heavier-than-air craft, and includes an image of the ''Wright Flyer'', the plane which they flew in 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Awardees and research topics: 1928-1975 *1928 Clinton Hunter Havill - ''Aircraft Propellers''. *1929 Ralph Hazlett Upson - ''Wings - A Coordinated System of Basic Design''. *1930 Theodore Paul Wright - ''The Development of a Safe Airplane - The Curtis Tanager''. *1931 Stephen Joseph Zand: ''A Study of Airplane and Instrument Board Vibration'' *1932 Edward Pearson Warner: ''The Rational Specifications of Airplane Load Factors'' * ...

SAE International
SAE International is a global professional association and standards organization based in Warrendale, Pennsylvania, United States. Formerly the Society of Automotive Engineers, the organization adopted its current name in 2006 to reflect both its international membership and the increased scope of its activities beyond automotive engineering and the automotive industry to include aerospace and other transport industries, as well as commercial vehicles including autonomous vehicles such as self-driving cars, trucks, surface vessels, drones, and related technologies. SAE International has over 138,000 global members. Membership is granted to individuals, rather than companies. Aside from its standardization efforts, SAE International also devotes resources to projects and programs in STEM education, professional certification, and collegiate design competitions. History In the early 1900s there were dozens of automobile manufacturers in the United States, and many more w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Review Of Scientific Instruments
''Review of Scientific Instruments'' is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Institute of Physics. Its area of interest is scientific instruments, apparatus, and techniques. According to the ''Journal Citation Reports'', the journal has a 2018 impact factor The impact factor (IF) or journal impact factor (JIF) of an academic journal is a type of journal ranking. Journals with higher impact factor values are considered more prestigious or important within their field. The Impact Factor of a journa ... of 1.587.
