Professor

Below is the list of those aero patentees and other participants who we can identify as professors.

We have some questions and hypotheses to explore in this group

• What % of our aero participants were professional academics overall? It seems to be between 1% and 1.5% at this writing
• Is there a trend over time in the proportion of aero partipants who were professors? So far we are not aware of a change over time
• Where were the early aero engineering departments? Are they represented in our data?
• Is there a transition toward or away from professors in our aero-active population over time? It could increase as the field was incorporated into universities, although one might think they were more represented in the early scientific/experimental stage, before firms were heavily involved.
