Conceived of in 1924 by the Dayton Section of the Society of Automotive Engineers, the SAE established the Wright Brothers Medal in 1927 to recognize individuals who have made notable contributions in the engineering, design, development, or operation of air and space vehicles. Its award is based on contributed research papers. The award honors Wilbur and Orville Wright as the first successful builders of heavier-than-air craft. ==Awardees and research topics: 1928-1975== *1928 Clinton Hunter Havill - ''Aircraft Propellers''.〔 *1929 Ralph Hazlett Upson - ''Wings - A Coordinated System of Basic Design''. *1930 Theodore Paul Wright - ''The Development of a Safe Airplane - The Curtis Tanager''. *1931 Stephen Joseph Zand: ''A Study of Airplane and Instrument Board Vibration'' *1932 Edward Pearson Warner: ''The Rational Specifications of Airplane Load Factors'' *1933 Eastman Nixon Jacobs: ''The Aerodynamics of Wing Sections for Airplanes'' *1934 Rex Buren Beisel, A.
