Hans Multhopp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Multhopp was a German aerospace engineer during the Second World War. He was in charge of developing the Focke-Wulf Ta 183, jet fighter. After the end of the war, Multhopp moved to the United States, where he gave valuable insight into swept wing design. This information contributed to the design of later versions of the F-84 and to the F-86 Sabre although it should be noted that the decision to give the XP-86 (as it was then known) swept wings was made in September 1945, prior to Multhopp making any meaningful contribution to the program.
