Frederick Dallenbach

Frederick Dallenbach was an engineer at Garrett AiResearch, who did pioneering work in gas turbine engines for aircraft applications.[1][2] He won the Wright Brothers Medal in 1949 with Homer J. Wood for a paper[3] discussing auxiliary turbines to supply pneumatic power for aircraft based on the Garrett GTC43/44 and GTP70 units.[2]
