Celebrating the centennial of aviation, the National Inventors
Hall of Fame will pay tribute to one of the greatest accomplishments
of humankind by recognizing seventeen inventors whose ideas have
advanced the fields of aviation and aerospace.
From
developing airplanes that fly non-stop around the world, to jets
that travel faster than the speed of sound, and rockets that can
launch us into space, this year's inductees have left their mark
on the past one hundred years of flight, exploring new frontiers
in the world around us.
