    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.

  • Reflections on 100 Years of Aerospace
    An article for publication: Aviation Week & Space Technology, 24 March 03 Reflections on 100 Years of Aerospace By Burt Rutan My activity as an aerospace designer spans exactly half the period in question. Fifty years ago, as a nine year old, I began picking up pieces of wrecked model airplanes and scrap materials, forming them into new shapes with the intent of satisfying my curiosity about their airworthiness. That age is the most formative time in our lives, when we make those inner decisions about what is important, what is fun. This is the age when we acquire the burning desire to learn the skills that will shape our future capabilities and careers. In 1953 exciting things were happening. Military and research aircraft were rapidly moving from propellers to supersonic speeds and rocket development was brisk. Viewing this no doubt inspired me. Reflecting on aerospace history, I am drawn to the people rather than the hardware. I think about the key pioneers that inspired me: those with vision, courage, initiative, and an uncanny ability to have ‘confidence in nonsense’ well before the ‘nonsense’ became defined as a ‘breakthrough’. The nine pioneers that influenced my career were all just small boys during the short period that I consider to be the most exciting era in aviation history. Sure, they might have been inspired by the Wright’s 1903 flight, but their formative years occurred during that 3-year revolution between 1909 and 1912. In 1908 only ten people had flown airplanes. Then, after Wilbur Wright flew his airplane in Europe, people the world over decided: “I can do that”.

  • AIAA Honorary Fellows
    AIAA Honorary Fellows The first Honorary Fellow was Orville Wright, who was named on Founder’s Day of the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences (IAS, I) on 26 January 1933. A year later, on 31 January 1934, the IAS had its second annual meeting and elected two Honorary Fellows and 23 Fellows. The Honorary Fellows were Ludwig Prandtl, professor at Göttingen University and director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Fluid Motion Research, and Jerome Clarke Hunsaker, head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and professor in charge of Aeronautical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Honorary Fellows are persons of eminence in aeronautics or astronautics, recognized by a long and highly contributive career in the arts, sciences, or technology thereof. An Honorary Fellow Selection Board reviews nominations made by members from the ranks of Fellows, and recommends a slate of no more than four to the Board of Directors for election each year. There have been only 232 distinguished persons elected since the inception of this Honor. AIAA Honorary Fellows include: A Yvonne Brill 2008 Ralph S. Damon 1955 (I) Frederik J. Abbink 2015 Robert D.

  • Clarence L. (Kelly) Johnson
    Daniel Guggenheim Medal MEDALIST FOR 1981 For his brilliant design of a wide range of pace-setting, commercial, combat and reconnaissance aircraft, and for his innovative management techniques which developed these aircraft in record time at minimum cost. CLARENCE L. (KELLY) JOHNSON He is probably best known for making famous the term “SKUNK WORKS” which was the area where “hush-hush” projects were developed and worked to completion before being exposed to the industry. Kelly Johnson has played a leading role in the development and design of 40 of the world’s leading aircraft—among them the P-38 of World War II; F-80, America’s first production jet aircraft; the high altitude U-2; the double sonic speed F-104 Starfighter; and the 2000mph YF-12A and SR- 71. Upon completion of his Master of Science degree from the University of Michigan, Johnson joined Lockheed as a tool designer in 1933. After assignments in areas related to research and development, he became Chief Research Engineer in 1938. In 1952, he was named Chief Engineer, and advanced to Vice President of the newly commissioned Research and Development organization. Here, he initiated radical approaches for rapid documentation of new ideas into design; then design into prototype, and finally testing and proving of the product. The technique streamlined the processes without taking unknown risks. The result was a new approach to the development of new products; later used by all of industry as the methodology for development within the production environment. In 1956 he became Vice President of Research and Development, followed by Vice President of Advanced Development Projects (ADP) in 1958.

RICH Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1995 NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON D.C. Courtesy of the Lockheed Advanced Development Co., Palmdale, Calif. CLARENCE LEONARD (KELLY) JOHNSON February 27, 1910–December 21, 1990 BY BEN R. RICH BE QUICK, be quiet, be on time. That was the credo of Clarence L. (Kelly) Johnson, the aeronautical innovator who founded Lockheed’s superse- cret “Skunk Works” where he designed the world’s fastest and highest-flying aircraft—the SR-71 Blackbird. Johnson played a leading role in the design of more than forty aircraft and set up a Skunk Works-type operation to develop a Lockheed satellite—the Agena-D—that became the nation’s workhorse in space. His achievements over al- most six decades captured every major aviation design award and the highest civilian honors of the U.S. government and made him an aerospace legend. He was elected to the Na- tional Academy of Sciences in 1965 and enshrined in the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1974 and was honored by many other prestigious institutions and organizations for his work. Johnson achieved international recognition for the highly successful Skunk Works operation—“a concentration of a few good people . applying the simplest, most straight- forward methods possible to develop and produce new prod- ucts” with minimum overhead and outside oversight—and 221 222 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS for his unparalleled management style.
