    Memorial Tributes: Volume 8 BEN RICH 200 Copyright National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved. Memorial Tributes: Volume 8 BEN RICH 201 Ben Rich 1925-1995 By Willis M. Hawkins Ben Rich died on January 5, 1995, after a full career as an engineer, a designer, and an effective and cherished executive. I first knew Ben when he joined the Lockheed Aircraft Company in Burbank back in 1950. He came to us from the University of California, Berkeley, and University of California, Los Angeles, with a master's degree in mechanical engineering. At the time, I was in charge of the Advanced Design Organization under the Deputy Chief Engineer C. L. "Kelly" Johnson, and we were working on our first Mach 2+ Air Force fighter proposal, which became the F-104. Ben was assigned the task of analyzing the aerothermodynamic performance of the power plant with little or no existing state of the art for supersonic inlets. It is a testament to Ben's understanding of this specialty that the inlet configuration was classified by the Air Force and the details obscured in Air Force-released pictures of the airplane for a number of years. The Lockheed "Skunk Works," which had originated during the design and development of the original P-80 prototype "Lulu-Belle," was being reactivated at about the time that the F-104 was conceived. Its specific purpose was the secret development of the U-2, and Ben was ''borrowed" by Kelly Johnson to help on that program. His "temporary'' assignment became his career. Under Kelly, Ben pursued his specialty of aerothermodynamic analysis.

    MIDLAND MIRROR Vol. LXXXIII MIDLAND SCHOOL LOS OLIVOS, CALIFORNIA 93441-0008 FEBRUARY 2015 NO. 1 Greetings from Midland! By Will Graham, Head of School he year 2015 brings with it an exciting milestone in Midland TSchool’s evolution: a master campus plan for Midland’s buildings and grounds has been developed. Historically, campus improvements and repairs have been tackled as urgent needs demand. Until now, there has never been a comprehensive plan for the care and function of the campus. As the result of Midland’s accreditation and strategic planning process, the board of trustees recognized that the school must become more proactive when tending to the needs of the campus, the living yards, and faculty housing. In 2012 Midland’s board of trustees created a strategic plan and formed a campus planning committee. They charged the group with “creating a long range plan that surveys existing conditions, establishes priorities, and proposes guidelines for further development of Midland’s campus.” The board has worked diligently over the past three years to address this significant long-range planning issue. After careful consideration of the goals and objectives of the strategic directive, Midland selected the firm, Walker/Macy, of Portland, Oregon, to help the school guide the planning process. Walker/Macy has decades of experience helping schools plan for the future of their campuses. It studied Midland’s founding principles and history, its unique culture, the needs of the community members, and the natural The campus plan includes ideas for renovating and repurposing Midland’s iconic barn.

  • NEWS RELEASE Continental Aerospace Technologies
    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Continental Aerospace Technologies™ announces partnership with Piper Aircraft® to launch the Pilot 100 training aircraft Mobile, Alabama, April 2, 2019 — Continental®, an AVIC International Holding (HK) LTD company (HKEX: 232.HK), announces the partnership with Piper Aircraft® to launch the Pilot 100 and Pilot 100i training aircraft. Piper Aircraft® has selected the certified Continental IO-370-DA3A engine for the new Pilot 100/100i single engine trainer. After careful consideration, Piper® determined that the engine met their requirements to answer increasing requests from flight schools of all sizes for a robust, proven trainer platform at a lower price point in both VFR and IFR configurations With an all-time high demand for new pilots, Piper Aircraft® has announced the Pilot 100/100i, to meet the needs of a wide variety of training schools and curriculums. Based on the PA-28 airframe, one of the most successful training platforms in the history of general aviation, Piper® combined an airframe, avionics and engine package that allows the aircraft to be very aggressively priced and fills the need for a trainer tailored to the primary single- engine training needs of these schools. The Pilot 100/100i allows schools to invest in new initial trainers at a price point that is compatible with their needs while relying on a proven and tried design. “We congratulate Piper Aircraft® for their vision, ability to gauge the market trends, and their commitment to the training market. We are very excited to collaborate with Piper® on the new certified engine design. We worked with the Piper® engineering team to make sure that they benefit not only from an outstanding value, but also from all the enhancements that we have incorporated in our new engine line.
