Tom Farris Raisbeck Engineering Purdue Alumni Visit Campus Raisbeck Engineering Purdue alumni flew into Purdue University on October 10, 2003 in a Learjet 35 complete with new Raisbeck ZR Technology.™ The Rais- beck team held a seminar for student of both the School of Aeronautics & Astro- nautics and the School of Aviation Technology. Entitled “Raisbeck Learjet Drag Reduction Program– How things are done in the outside world. CEO James Raisbeck AES ‘61 explained that the goal of the program is to reduce the cruise drag of the Learjet 30-serieis aircraft by a minimum of 10% at typical cruise mach numbers. L-R A&AE Prof. John Sullivan; Raisbeck Team, Randall Dean (AT’00) Nate Lachendro (MSAA ‘00) Pete Reynolds (AES ‘66) Purdue President Martin C. Jischke, James Raisbeck (AES ‘61) Tom Farris, Prof. and Head of the School of Aeronautics & Astronautics & Thomas Carney Prof. & Head of the Dept. of Aviation Technology Update on the Millennium Building At the October 4, 2003 Homecoming celebration near the Purdue Bell Tower, Purdue announced it had raised $6.5 million in private gifts for its planned $46 million Millennium Building towards the $10 million required to com- plement state funding. Kenneth O. Johnson BSAAE ‘50 of Cincinnati gave a gift of $1million. Johnson holds more than 20 patents from his five-decade career, said that he wanted to give back to Purdue because of the importance of his education to the successes of his life. “My dream had al- ways been to design things that could improve people’s lives,” said Johnson. “Purdue helped me to achieve those dreams. I only hope that the improvements that the Millennium Building will make possible will help the next generation to achieve their dreams in the same way.” The Homecoming celebration took on a special meaning this year as two of the School of Aeronautics & Astronautics astronaut alumni attended the announcement. Neil A. Armstrong BSAAE ‘55 and fellow astronaut Mark Brown BSAAE ‘73 took center stage along with Jayleen Gut- tromson, a senior in the School of Aeronautics & Astronautics School of Aeronautics & Astronautics alumni Neil A. Arm- from Fargo N.D. strong and Mark N. Brown with AAE senior Jayleen L. Guttromson January 2004 marked the halfway point of the Cam- paign at which point over 65% of the $1.3 billion Campaign goal had been reached. The Millennium Building is the largest piece of the Schools of Engineering facilities master plan. Located on the intersection of Northwestern and Stadium avenues, the building will house the School of Aeronautics & Astronautics along with other Schools of Engi- neering and the Office of the Dean of Engineering. Ground breaking is expected fall 2004. Purdue Celebrates National Engineers Week with a Generous Gift Announcement Purdue University celebrated National Engineers Week with engineering accomplishments and a mix of activities for students, alumni engineering societies and corporations. One very impor- tant event that took place was the announcement of the generous gift of Heddy Kurz to name the Herman and Heddy Kurz Atrium in the new Millennium Engineering Building. Her gift of $1.9 Million was announced on Thursday February 26th 2004. Heddy is from Louisville, KY and is very proud to be associated with Purdue University. Heddy’s late husband, Her- man, was a graduate of the School of Electrical Engineering and she made the lead gift last fall to name the Herman and Heddy Kurz Lobby in the new Computer Science Building.

Purdue Celebrates National Engineers Week Purdue University’s Inaugural Engineers Week Lecture on Tuesday February 24, 2004 featured alumnus David Spencer BSAAE ’89, MSAAE ‘91, Deputy Manager of Flight Systems at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. From 1997 through 2002, Spencer was the Mission Manager for the Mars Odyssey Project which has been orbiting Mars since 2001, mapping the min- eral and chemical composition of the planet. During his lec- ture, Spencer chronicled the history and the future of the exploration of Mars. Out of 52 worldwide launches, only 17 have been successful, with the Spirit and Opportunity rovers landing in January 2004. Spencer said that he would hope that humans would get to Mars within 20-30 years and NASA has future plans with the Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2005, the Phoenix Lan- David Spencer der in 2007 and the Mars Telesat Orbiter in 2009.

Now in its 2nd year, the School of Aeronautics & Astronautics is proud to have a repre- sentative for both the staff and faculty categories. Linda McClatchey Flack was honored at the Engineering Staff Recognition Banquet on October 17, 2003 for the Customer Service Award in recognition for her outstanding service. Prof. C.T. Sun Neil A.

Prof. C.T. Sun Astronaut Alumnus to Lead Discovery Park “Super Projects” Guy S. Gardner MSAAE ‘70 was named on January 13, 2004 Director of Super Projects in Purdue’s Discovery Park e-Enterprise Cen- ter. For the first time in its history, Purdue University has hired one of its twenty-two astronaut alumni. Gardner will oversee research projects with at least $1 million in funding deemed “super projects.” He will primarily work on a number of complex projects with im- plications for homeland security and manned trip to Mars. He will also generate more super- projects for e-Enterprise Center researchers and will seek additional funding sources. Gardner received a bachelor’s degree from the Air Force Academy in 1969 and a master’s in aeronautics & astronautics from Purdue in 1970. Selected by NASA in May 1980, he is a veteran of two space missions and has worked in many areas of Space Shuttle and Space Station Devel- opment and support.

  • Dr. Paul Bevilaqua - the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at 6:00 P.M
    Dr. Paul Bevilaqua - The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. Lee Liu Auditorium in Howe Hall The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is a single aircraft developed to meet the multirole fighter requirements of the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and the country’s allies. The Air Force variant is a supersonic, single engine stealth fighter. The Navy variant has a larger wing and more robust structure in order to operate from an aircraft carrier, while the Marine Corps variant incorporates an innovative propulsion system that can be switched from a turbofan cycle to a turbo shaft cycle for vertical take-off and landing. This novel propulsion system enabled the X-35 demonstrator to become the first aircraft in history to fly at supersonic speeds, hover, and land vertically. This lecture will describe the technical and program challenges involved in growing an innovative idea into an international program with engineers from a half dozen countries developing a replacement for multiple aircraft types. Dr. Bevilaqua is a Fellow of the AIAA and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He subsequently joined Lockheed Martin as chief engineer of the SKUNK WORKS®, where he played a leading role in creating the Joint Strike Fighter. He invented the dual cycle propulsion system that made it possible to build a stealthy supersonic V/STOL Strike Fighter, and proposed designs for conventional and Naval variants of this aircraft in order to share development costs between the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps. He then led the engineering team that demonstrated the feasibility of building three variants of this aircraft..
