  • Aviation Pioneer, Fred E. Weick
    Virginia Aviation History Project By: Norm Crabill Published with permission of Mr. Donald V. Weick, March 14, 2019 Aviation Pioneer, Fred E. Weick This article is based on Norman Crabill’s notes from Fred Weick’s autobiography “From the Ground Up”, with contributions from Raymond Gill, Vice President, VAHS. Mr. Crabill’s notes were shared with Ray Gill and Hall of Fame member (1998) Ray Tyson at a recent meeting in the Robin’s Nest Café on Fredericksburg’s Shannon Airport campus. Norm Crabill is a Life Member of the Virginia Aeronautical Historical Society and a member of the VAHS Hall of Fame (2008). He generously agreed to allow us to share his notes with our membership. Fred Weick came to the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in the 1920s and contributed to significant changes in aircraft design worldwide, including: 1. Improvement in propeller design. One report for the US Naval Bureau of Aeronautics (1925) and two reports for NACA, TN212 (January 1925) and TN225 (September 1925). 2. Development of a propeller testing facility at NACA Langley in 1923. 3. Development of the NACA cowling for engines. In 1929, the first Collier Trophy was awarded for development of the cowling in the Propeller Research Tunnel. The NACA cowling drastically reduced aircraft drag, improved cylinder cooling and is being used world-wide today. Responding to a growing interest for an easy-to-fly airplane, Fred put together a team of six NACA engineers to design and build a single engine, easy-to-fly, aircraft that would not stall nor spin; that would also be easy to land due to its steering wheel at the nose and remaining two wheels behind the center of gravity.
