Dr. R. E. D. N. Franks
Dr. R. E. D. N. Franks was a researcher known for his work in aeronautical engineering, particularly in understanding fluid dynamics—the behavior of air and gases around objects like airplanes. His studies helped improve aircraft design by explaining how airflow affects lift and drag, leading to safer and more efficient flying. His contributions are foundational in aerospace science, informing how pilots and engineers understand the interaction between aircraft and the atmosphere to optimize performance and safety.
