Sam B. Williams, born in Seattle, Washington, became a pioneer toward the end of World War II by designing an early turboprop engine for the Navy and the first Chrysler automotive gas turbine. His groundbreaking work led to the creation of the world’s first small turbojet engine, which powered Navy targets and vertical take-off and landing one-man flight systems. Williams’ patented small turbofan engine further revolutionized aviation, making long-range cruise missiles feasible and contributing to the end of the Cold War. His legacy lives on as an NIHF Inductee who transformed the field of gas turbine engines.
