Raisbeck receives Pathfinder Award

By General Aviation News Staff · November 9, 2007 ·

Raisbeck Engineering’s founder and CEO, James Raisbeck, recently received the Pathfinder Award from Seattle’s Museum of Flight. The award honors individuals from the Pacific Northwest who have significantly contributed to aeronautics and astronautics. Raisbeck was cited for his numerous contributions to the safety and performance of aircraft and his influence on many business aircraft designs. Raisbeck was part of the design and production of the supercritical wings and many systems for the Rockwell International Sabreliner 65-series. He also improved the wings for the Learjet family, now standard on all Learjets, and designed performance enhancement systems for the King Air family.
