Wendell E. Reed was an aircraft engineer noted primarily for inventing the engine microjet controller (EMC) ( U.S. patent 2,726,507, U.S. patent 2,981,058), for which he was awarded the Wright Brothers Medal in 1955. [1] [2] [3] Reed's experiences in the USAAF piloting the B-25 kindled a lifelong interest in flight and he later completed his degree at University of Wisconsin in Mechanical Engineering. [4] He subsequently joined Solar Aircraft Co, where he developed the EMC. [ citation needed]
