Nevil Shute Norway (17 January 189912 January 1960) was an English novelist and aeronautical engineer who spent his later years in Australia.
 He used his full name in his engineering career and Nevil Shute as his pen name to protect his engineering career from any potential negative publicity in connection with his novels, which included "On the Beach" and "A Town Like Alice".
Robert T. (Bob) Jones, (May 28, 1910 – August 11, 1999), was an aerodynamicist and aeronautical engineer for NACA and later NASA.
 He was known at NASA as "one of the premier aeronautical engineers of the twentieth century".
Lawrence Percival Coombes {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (9 April 1899 – 3 June 1988) was a British aeronautical engineer who served as the first Chief Superintendent of the Australian Aeronautical Research Laboratories from 1938 until 1964.
 He had previously worked at the Royal Aircraft Establishment from 1924, and during World War I had served a pilot in the Royal Naval Air Service and Royal Air Force, becoming a flying ace credited with 15 aerial victories.
Suryanarayana Srinivasan (1941–1999) was an Indian aeronautical engineer and the Director of the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), known for his pioneering work in rocket science.
 He also served as the director of Satish Dhawan Space Centre and assisted A. P. J. Abdul Kalam in the SLV3 Mission as its deputy director.
 He was an elected Fellow of the Aeronautical Society of India and the Indian National Academy of Engineering.
 The Government of India awarded him the third highest civilian honour of the Padma Bhushan, in 2000, for his contributions to Indian space program.
Round the Bend is a 1951 novel by Nevil Shute.
 It tells the story of Constantine "Connie" Shaklin, an aircraft engineer who founds a new religion transcending existing religions based on the merit of good work.
Richard V. Rhode (March 2, 1904 – November 13, 1994) was an early aeronautical engineer at Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory, who researched aerodynamic loading.
 He was awarded the Wright Brothers Medal in 1937 for this work.
 He continued doing secret aerodynamics-related research work during World War II, the results of which were later declassified.
John Michael Riebe (8 May 1921 – 21 February 2011) was an American aeronautical engineer and inventor who contributed to the early designs of flight surfaces.
 Other significant contributions included being project engineer in the development of the Grumman F8F fighter, involvement with short takeoff and landing projects for airline terminals, and work on control systems for rockets, flying boats, Delta wings and powered lift systems.
 He performed tests in the numerous wind tunnels of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics' Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory in Langley Field, Virginia (now NASA's Langley Research Center in Langley Air Force Base, Virginia), where he was employed.
Paco Axel Lagerstrom (February 24, 1914 – February 16, 1989) was an applied mathematician and aeronautical engineer.
 He was trained formally in mathematics, but worked for much of his career in aeronautical applications.
 He is known for pioneering work in applying the method of asymptotic expansion to fluid mechanics problems.
 Several of his works have become classics, including "Matched Asymptotic Expansions: Ideas And Techniques".
Willis Moore Hawkins (December 1, 1913 – September 28, 2004) was an aeronautical engineer for Lockheed for more than fifty years.
 He was hired in 1937, immediately after receiving his bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering from the University of Michigan.
 Prior to that, he was in the first graduating class of The Leelanau School, a boarding school in Glen Arbor, Michigan.
 He contributed to the designs of a number of historic Lockheed aircraft, including the Constellation, P-80 Shooting Star, XF-90, F-94 Starfire, and F-104 Starfighter.
 During World War II, he was part of the group of Lockheed designers who designed the first American attempt at a jet plane, the Lockheed L-133.
Lee R. Scherer (September 20, 1919 – May 7, 2011) was an American aeronautical engineer and director of NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) from January 19, 1975 to September 2, 1979.
 Prior to his appointment as KSC director, Scherer was director of NASA’s Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, responsible for the conduct of advanced aeronautical flight research.
