William Brown (bridge designer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Brown (September 16, 1928 - March 16, 2005) was an structural engineer and bridge designer who specialised in suspension bridges. He is credited with the idea of designing bridge decks with an aerofoil-shaped cross section (in effect an upside-down wing) for stability in a wide variety of wind conditions.
