William Brown (bridge Designer)
William Brown (16 September 1928 – 16 March 2005) was a structural engineer and bridge designer who specialised in suspension bridges. He is credited with the idea of designing bridge decks with an aerofoil-shaped cross section (in effect an upside-down wing) for stability in a wide variety of wind conditions.
He was one of the principal designers at Freeman Fox & Partners (now Hyder Consulting) from 1956 to 1985.
In 1987 he set up the Brown Beech & Associates.
