In addition to marking the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' first flight, this year also marked the 75th anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's historic Atlantic crossing in the Spirit of St. Louis, a journey made possible in part by a Parker fuel system.
In recognition of these milestones, and underscoring the company's commitment to the aerospace industry, Parker is proud to sponsor Kitty Hawk, a feature documentary film commemorating the centennial of powered flight, which premieres this month on the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). The film follows the Wright brothers through their journey of discovery that culminated in humankind's first successful powered flight.
(Note to Editors: The film's national carriage report follows this release.)
The company has also established a special scholarship endowment for aerospace engineering students, partnering with Aviation Week's Next Century of Flight and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
"Our educational stewardship is meant to encourage and support young people who surely will bring even greater achievements in aviation's next century," said Parker President and CEO Don Washkewicz. "We are very proud of our company's role in aerospace. No other industry has achieved so much to advance exploration and establish cultural connections covering great distances. It is a great legacy that can never be diminished."
With annual sales exceeding $6 billion, Cleveland-based Parker Hannifin is the world's leading diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing precision-engineered solutions for a wide variety of commercial, mobile, industrial and aerospace markets. The company employs more than 45,000 people in 44 countries around the world.
