Abdus Suttar Khan

Abdus Suttar Khan
Abdus Suttar Khan (c. 1941 – 31 January 2008) was a Bangladeshi researcher. He looked into on aviation for four decades with NASA, United Technology, and Alstom, a French power age organization. Khan designed more than forty distinctive combinations for business application in space transports, fly motors, prepare motors and mechanical gas turbines.
Khan was conceived in Khagatua town, PS Nabinagar, Brahmanbaria District, British India (now in Bangladesh). He went to Ratanpur High School and did his halfway at Comilla Victoria College. Subsequent to graduating at the highest point of his class from University of Dhaka with a Bachelor of Science in 1962 and graduate degree in science in 1963, Khan joined the Chemistry division as a speaker at a similar college. In 1964, he acknowledged a grant to examine in Oxford University and got his PhD degree in science in 1968. Following his PhD, Khan came back to the Chemistry branch of DU as a partner teacher and worked there until 1973. That year, he cleared out Bangladesh to lead examine in the field of materials building in the United States. Amid his profession, Khan concocted more than forty diverse combinations. These compounds are intended for the utilization in the region of high temperature, for example, cutting edges of gas turbine or fly motors. They are covered with naturally safe coatings to give insurance from oxidation and additionally consumption, high temperature (to forestall warm weakness), to give wear protection and so forth.
These have been industrially connected in space transports, propelled business fly motors, and US aviation based armed forces fly motors. These compounds influenced motors to lighter, which empowered the flying machine to fly quicker. Khan's work in Switzerland additionally included amalgams, which expanded the speed of prepare motors and modern gas turbines.
One of Khan's creations, high quality nickel based composites, were utilized for expanded fuel productivity in F-15 and F-16 contender motors. In this manner, these combinations were announced as 21st Century materials for cutting edge air ship motors in the Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Magazine (Popular Science, June 1990).

Business items created :

1.      Nano-impetuses created are utilized for in fuel stream way in cutting edge fly motors for high mach drive
2.      Propelled scraped spot safe materials created are utilized for expanded fuel efficiencies of US AF warrior motors (Proprietary to United Technologies' Pratt and Whitney)
3.      Consumption and exhaustion safe coatings kept by cathodic curve process is utilized as a part of cutting edge business in Pratt and Whiney fly motors (Proprietary to United Technologies' Pratt and Whitney)

Electrodeposited wear safe coatings created is utilized as a part of cutting edge GT24/26 mechanical gas turbine motors by Alstom, Switzerland (Proprietary to Alstom, Switzerland)
Electrodeposited oxidation-erosion safe coatings utilized by Alstom, Switzerland in Alstom Power GT-11 modern gas turbine motors (Proprietary to Alstom, Switzerland)
For Khan's exceptional research and its application in aviation, he got various esteemed honors from NASA, the US Air Force, United Technology, and Alstom. Notwithstanding these accomplishments, Khan was a Chartered Scientist of the Royal Society of Chemistry (Great Britain, 2005), Elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (Great Britain, 1996), and an individual from the American Society of Metals.

Some of his imperative honors and acknowledgments include:

The "1986 United Technologies Special Award" for contributing the improvement of high quality nickel based compounds utilized for expanded fuel effectiveness of F-15 and F-16 warrior motors. The Alloy Y was featured in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Magazine (AMM Magazine), 4 August 1986. Along these lines, the Alloy Y was announced as 21st Century Materials for cutting edge airplane motors.
1.      "Joined Technologies Research Center Award of Excellence" for building up a novel assembling process for hydrocarbon catalysis for rapid air ship and rocket drive (1994).
2.      The hydrocarbon fuel impetus innovation created under NASA-Air Force contract was pronounced as empowering innovation by NASA and US Air Force in 1992.
3.      "Pratt and Whitney's Special" Award for commitment to improvement of assembling innovation for cutting edge surface insurance coatings for use in stream motors (1993)

Amid his resigned life, Khan was directing exploration as a privileged educator at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Florida State University. While investigating there, he endeavored to build up a Center of Excellence in nanomaterials for examine in the zone of carbon nanotechnology for applications in materials science and biomaterial innovation.


Other than his logical accomplishments, Khan was additionally associated with group benefits in the United States. Khan was the originator of the Bangladeshi Association of Florida and composed various Asian people group occasions. In 1991, he raised $61,000 for Bangladeshi surge casualties and gave these assets to the Red Cross. Khan additionally settled a helpful understanding between Dhaka University and Lamar University in Texas to prepare employees and graduate understudies of Dhaka University.
