Zipper
A mechanical engineer named Whitcomb L. Judson is credited with inventing the zipper, because although others had worked on the concept previously they did not construct or market a working zipper. It was first unveiled at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago.
The modern zipper was invented by Whitcomb Judson, an American inventor, in 1893. He initially patented a "clasp locker" designed for shoes, but it was not widely successful. The design was later improved by Gideon Sundback in the early 1900s, who developed the more functional version of the zipper we use today, with a patent granted in 1917.
Winglets were invented in the 1950's by a Richard Whitcome. Answer: The man's name was Whitcomb, and he proposed it in the '70s (after the oil crisis). But he didn't invent them, he "simply" refined a previous idea from Hoerner (which WAS in the '50s), although the idea in one form another goes back even further (Lanchester, 1897).
