Hans Georg Küssner (14 September 1900 – 21 March 1984) was a German physicist and aeronautical scientist known for his work in the field of aeroelasticity.
Hans Georg Küssner was born on 14 September 1900 in Bartenstein, then part of the East Prussian district of Friedland [de] in the German Reich.
In the same year he moved to the German Research Institute for Aviation in Berlin, where he worked on the aircraft problem of flutter, which was reflected in a large number of publications.
[2] After the Second World War, Küssner joined the Max Planck Institute for Flow Research in Göttingen in 1947, where he turned to theoretical physics and continuum mechanics.
Due to Küssner's international reputation, he became a member of the committee for structures and materials of the NATO agency AGARD (Advisory Group for Aerospace Research and Development).
