Adolf Busemann (20 April 1901 – 3 November 1986) was a German aerospace engineer and influential Nazi-era pioneer in aerodynamics, specialising in supersonic airflows. He introduced the concept of swept wings and, after emigrating in 1947 to the United States under Operation Paperclip , invented the shockwave-free supersonic Busemann biplane .

Adolf Busemann is one of the most outstanding exponents of Riemann’s hydrodynamic method in this century. Although he is not well known outside the realm of supersonic hydrodynamics, his intellectual influence has penetrated deeply into all aspects of plasma physics; aerodynamics, and the theory of shock waves.
Dr. Adolf Busemann was a visiting Professor at CU and is the “father” of supersonic aerodynamics and the inventor of the swept-back wing. His collection includes professional publications, personal notes, letters of correspondence, honorary awards and photographs while working for NASA and NCAR.
