One of Frank Piasecki's daughters worked at Sikorsky;  she left when Sikorsky's engineering management (she has an MS in engineering from Yale) wouldn't let her take a leave to get an MBA at Wharton.  Note that this isn't an effective method of keeping somebody out of school when her family is fairly well-to-do (her mother's maiden name was Weyerhauser, as in those Weyerhausers).  Anyhow, after Mr Piasecki was ousted from Piasecki Helicopter, his new company worked on some remarkably interesting, possibly bizarre, projects.
