Malcolm Sayer (21 May 1916 – 22 April 1970) was a British aircraft engineer during wartime and later automotive aerodynamist. His most notable aerodynamic work was the engineering body development of the E-Type Jaguar[1] and early style guidelines for Jaguar XJS.[2] He spent the last twenty years of his life working at Jaguar Cars and was one of the first engineers to apply principles of aircraft streamlining and aerodynamic function to cars.
