Dr Ernst R. G. Eckert (1904 – 2004) was a scientist who advanced the film cooling technique for aeronautical engines.[4] Eckert worked as a rocket and jet engine scientist at the Aeronautical Research Institute in Braunschweig, Germany, then via Operation Paperclip, began jet propulsion research in 1945 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. In 1951, Eckert joined the University of Minnesota in the department of mechanical engineering. Eckert published more than 550 scientific papers and books. The Eckert number in fluid dynamics was named after him.

Dr. Eckert's son-in-law Horst Henning Winter is a professor of chemical engineering at UMass. Dr. Winter specializes in rheology.
