Gunnar Ljungström

After examination from Whitlockska samskolan, he was admitted to studies in mechanics at the Royal Institute of Technology.

Furthermore, he was an avid sailor among other sports, also winning an academic gold medal in Sweden in pole vault.

Graduating as engineer in 1932, he participated in the family's steam turbine and other projects, including on transmission technology for cars.

After engagement in family-related businesses and extensive stays abroad, in 1936, Gunnar Ljungström returned to Sweden, deciding to help out with its aviation industry in light of the turbulent affairs on the continent.
