Gustavus Greenとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Gustavus Green (11 March 1865-29 December 1964) was a British engineer who made significant contributions to the design of early aircraft engines. Born in Hounslow on 11 March 1865 Green opened a bicycle factory in Bexhill-on-Sea, and in 1905 built his first lightweight, water-cooled aircraft engine and soon established the Green Engine Co to produce them. Green engines were much used by the pioneers of British aviation, for example Alliott Verdon Roe and Samuel Cody. His later engines were too heavy for the aircraft of the time, but were used to power torpedo boats during World War I.
