Charles H. Kaman, an innovator in the development and manufacture of helicopter technology and the founder of Ovation Guitars has died at age 91

"Mr. Kaman, a guitar enthusiast, also invented the Ovation guitar, effectively reversing the vibration-reducing technology of helicopters to create a generously vibrating instrument that incorporated aerospace materials into its rounded back. In the mid-1960s he created Ovation Instruments, a division of his company, to manufacture it. "
