Robert Wilson FRSE FRSSA (10 September 1803 – 28 July 1882) was a Scottish engineer, remembered as inventor of a special kind of a screw propeller, which he demonstrated in 1827 (although the first patent was awarded to another inventor in 1836). Wilson also designed a self-acting motion for steam hammers which was key to making them practical for industrial use, among many other inventions.
