Burt Rutan
Elbert Leander "Bert" Rutan is an American Aerospace engineer noted for his originality in designing light, strong, unusual-looking energy efficient aircraft. He is famous for his design of the record breaking Voyager, which was the first plane to fly around the world without stopping for refueling and the sub-orbital space plane, SpaceShipOne, which won the Ansari X-Prize in 2004 for becoming the first privately funded spacecraft to enter the realm of space twice within a two week period. Bert has five aircraft on display in the national Air & Space Museum.
