Jendrassik evolved various new features concerning highspeed Diesel-engines and was responsible for the design of the well-known Ganz-Jendrassik railcar engine (1930), His small gas-turbine of the constant-pressure type was the first of its kind to run consistently and satisfactorily.

KALMAR, László (1905—1976). Mathematician. Kalmár dealt chiefly with mathematical logic, cybernetics and several other practical topics of applied mathematics about which he has published several papers at home and abroad. WHC KÁRMÁN, Tódor (1881—1963). Mechanical engineer. World-famous scientist of arerodynamics. Earned international reputation by his contribution to heat and quantum theory. Between 1944 and 1945 Kármán had a leading role in the development of the B—36, B—47 and B—52 as well as the Atlas, Titan and Minuteman rockets. He made unique contributions to the theory of elasticity, the strength of materials, aircraft structures, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics as well as thermodynamics, originated the boundary surface theory and the theory of wing surface design and dimensioning for superaviation. Because of his wide-ranging work in areronautics Kármán is often remembered as the „father of supersonic flight”. Kármán Th.\ The wind and beyond, Toronto 1967. (Autobiogr.), Maiina F.
