Neumann, along with a team of GE engineers, created the GE1, a revolutionary aircraft engine demonstrator, by mating a huge diameter fan to a relatively much smaller, efficient engine core, which resulted in significant fuel efficiency gains, a key determinant of engine ...

William McKinley is known today as the champion of high protective tariffs. That is most certainly true, and the McKinley Presidency was the zenith of the Era of Protection. But he was much more.
