Randall Greene, president of Safe Flight Instrument Corp., and his late father, Dr. Leonard Greene, are the recipients of this year’s Joseph T. Nall Award, recognizing the pair for their longtime contributions to aviation safety.
Even if you’re not intimately familiar with the Greene’s company based in White Plains, New York, you know and cherish the aviation safety technologies the family has pioneered. Leonard Greene invented the stall-warning tab in 1946 after watching a friend die in an airplane accident caused by a stall/spin. The company has gone on to innovate a long list of aircraft safety technologies including the stick shaker, autothrottle, wind shear warning, and more than 200 other things.
