Joseph Szydlowski

Joseph Szydlowski (born November 21, 1896, Chełm, Poland; died July 16, 1988 in Israel), was a Jewish-Polish-French-Israeli aircraft engine designer who founded Turbomeca in France.

Biography and career

At the time of his birth Chełm was part of Russia and he was taken prisoner by Germany during the First World War. He started working in Germany and applied for his first patents in 1920. With the rise of Nazism he emigrated to France in 1930. He founded Turbomeca in Paris in 1938 and built the company on licensed production during World War II. In June 1940, when Germany invaded France he evacuated his company to Saint Pé de Bigorre in southern France. Once the war was over he developed small turbine engines for helicopters. Turbomeca became a major supplier of helicopter engines, providing 30% of the non-US market according to the company.
