Fazle Hussain, Esther Farfel Award Recipient

Caption: Fazle Hussain, the Hugh Roy & Lillie Cranz Cullen Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering, is the 2007 Esther Farfel Award recipient. As a fluid dynamicist, his interests include aircraft drag and reduction for lower fuel consumption and pollution, as well as abetting wake hazard to reduce aircraft separation during takeoff and landing -- a major problem at busy airports. He is pictured here with a Continental 727 jet engine in a hanger at Hobby Airport in Houston.
