Qian Xuesen, Or Hsue-Shen Tsien (Chinese: ???; 11 December 1911 - 31 October 2009), Was A Chinese Mathematician, Cyberneticist, Aerospace Engineer, And Physicist Who Made Significant Contributions To The Field Of Aerodynamics And Established Engineering Cybernetics. Recruited From Mit, He Joined Theodore Von Kármán's Group At Caltech. During Wwii, He Was Involved In The Manhattan Project, Which Ultimately Led To The Successful Development Of The First Atomic Bomb In America. Later On, Under The Pressure Of Deportation For Suspicions Of Association With Communists, He Would Eventually Return To China, Where He Would Make Important Contributions To China's Missile And Space Program. During The Second Red Scare, In The 1950S, The Us Federal Government Accused Him Of Communist Sympathies. In 1950, Despite Protests By His Colleagues, He Was Stripped Of His Security Clearance. He Decided To Return To China, But He Was Detained At Terminal Island, Near Los Angeles.

He Left The United States In September 1955 On The American President Lines Passenger Liner Ss President Cleveland, Arriving In China Via Hong Kong. Upon His Return, He Helped Lead The Chinese Nuclear Weapons Program. This Effort Ultimately Led To China's First Successful Atomic Bomb Test And Hydrogen Bomb Test, Making China The Fifth Nuclear Weapons State, And Achieving The Fastest Fission-To-Fusion Development In History. Additionally, Qian's Work Led To The Development Of The Dongfeng Ballistic Missile And The Chinese Space Program. For His Contributions, He Became Known As The "Father Of Chinese Rocketry", Nicknamed The "King Of Rocketry". He Is Recognized As One Of The Founding Fathers Of Two Bombs, One Satellite. In 1957, Qian Was Elected An Academician Of The Chinese Academy Of Sciences. He Served As A Vice Chairman Of The National Committee Of The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference From 1987 To 1998. He Was The Cousin Of Mechanical Engineer Hsue-Chu Tsien, Who Was Involved In The Aerospace Industries Of China And The United States; His Nephew Is Roger Y. Tsien, The 2008 Winner Of The Nobel Prize In Chemistry. (Introductory Material From Wikipedia, Prefacing The Full Article).

Millikan And Von Karman Are Among The Most Famous American Aeronautical Engineers. Tung Hua Lin (1911 - 2007) Was A Chinese-American Aerospace And Structural Engineer Best Known For Designing China's First Twin Engine Aircraft During World War Ii. Lin Was Born In Chungking In May 1911. His Grandfather Was Head Of The Local Telegraph Agency. In 1914, His Family Moved To Beijing. He Enrolled In Huiwen High School In 1924, Graduating In 1928. After Graduation, He Entered Yenching University, Majoring In Physics, But The Following Year Transferred To Chiaotung University's Tangshan, Hebei Campus (Present-Day Southwest Jiaotong University), Graduating With A Bachelor Of Science Degree In 1933. He Then Won A Chinese National Fellowship To Study In The United States In 1933. He Completed His Master Of Science Degree At The Massachusetts Institute Of Technology In 1936. He Returned To Teach At Tsing Hua University In 1937. Lin Was Asked To Design Aircraft During World War Ii. His Production Team Worked In A Cave To Protect Against Bombing By The Japanese. He Lacked Modern Design Tools Such As Wind Tunnels To Test The Aircraft. The C-0101 Which He Designed And Constructed, Largely From Bamboo And Wood, Was Test Flown From Chungking To Chengdu On November 18, 1944. Lin Was Awarded A Medal By The Chinese Government For His Efforts. After The War, Lin Was A Member Of A Mission To Design Jet Aircraft In China. They Approached The St. Louis, Missouri-Based Mcdonnell Aircraft About Mass-Producing Their Aircraft, But As The Price Quoted Was Too Expensive, They Instead Chose Gloucester, England's Gloster Aircraft Company; Lin Was Part Of A 20-Person Design Team Who Moved To England To Work With Them In 1947. However, Due To A Lack Of Funding, They Had To Halt Production In 1949, Whereupon Lin Moved To The United States. There, He Taught At The University Of Detroit While Studying For His Doctorate At The University Of Michigan. He Became A Professor At The University Of California, Los Angeles In 1955; While There, He Published The Theory Of Inelastic Structure In 1968. Lin Was Awarded The Theodore Von Kármán Medal By The American Society Of Civil Engineers In 1988. His Research On Earthquake Stress In Construction Materials Led To A Fellowship In The National Academy Of Engineering In 1990. Taiwan's Academia Sinica Named Him As A Member In 1996. His Cousin Tung-Yen Lin Was Also One Of The Outstanding Structural Engineers Of The 20Th Century.
