The Trumbull Award is given annually to an airline employee who has made an outstanding contribution to the work of the
Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee by his or her leadership in the development of ARINC Standards or for other
related activities.
The award is named in honor of Austin Trumbull, an engineer working for United Airlines, who
"developed the concept into its final form, made the original drawings, and consummated the follow-up work to make it a
successful and acceptable Standard" for ARINC 404 which was renamed Austin Trumbull Radio (ATR) Racking. ARINC
404 was first published in 1940 and was renamed in 1967 by a unanimous act of the AEEC. Austin Trumbull received what would become the first Trumbull Award.
The proposed nominee for the 2007 Trumbull award will be a current (or former) airline employee that has demonstrated a
personal commitment to AEEC goals through their contribution of time and effect towards the achievement of these goals. |
