The Birthday of Charles Huron Kaman
June 15 1919
Should be a Holiday for all of us
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. KAMAN!
Gotta take the afternoon off and play my Os! Looks like I'll get my hands on my A in August! Woohoo! Now a shameless plug from my own song dedicated to the man himself
Helicopter blades made from fiberglass and spruce
Fueled his creative juice
Fast necks with low action, multi-Epaulet attraction
And round back design became the fashion
And while we revere the instrument he engineered; did you know (surely you knew)? "President Clinton named Charles Kaman to receive the 1996 National Medal of Technology, the nation's highest technology honor. The helicopter manufacturer and pioneer was recognized for innovations in rotary-wing flight which have made helicopters more stable and easier to fly." from Naval Aviation News 1996 (in Google books)
