Jack Boyd and Hans Mark
INSIGHT | ASK MAGAZINE | 35 From Masters with Masters: Jack Boyd and Hans Mark In August 2012, NASA Chief Knowledge Officer and Academy of Program/Project and Engineering Leadership Director Ed Hoffman sat down with Hans Mark, from the University of Texas at Austin, and NASA’s Jack Boyd at the Ames Research Center as part of the Academy’s Masters with Masters series. Dr. Mark has held several roles, including NASA deputy administrator, Ames center director, chancellor of the University of Texas, secretary and undersecretary of the air force, director of the National Reconnaissance Office, and director of research and engineering at the Department of Defense. Jack Boyd has worked at Ames for more than sixty years and is the senior advisor to the Ames center director. He has been the NASA associate administrator for management, and has also served as the acting deputy center director for Ames. Ames engineers (left to right) Allen Faye, Merrill Mead, and Jack Boyd discuss aircraft design and handling.

Advancing Vertical Flight: A Historical Perspective on AHS International and its Times M.E. Rhett Flater L. Kim Smith AHS Executive Director (1991-2011) AHS Deputy Director (1993-2011) M. E. Rhett Flater & Associates M.E. Rhett Flater & Associates Pine Knoll Shores, NC Pine Knoll Shores, NC ABSTRACT1 This paper describes AHS’s vital role in the development of the rotorcraft industry, with particular emphasis on events since 1990. It includes first-hand accounts of the formation of the Society, how it matured and evolved, and the particular influences that compelled change. It describes key events which occurred during various stages of the Society’s growth, including the formation of its technical committees, the evolution of the AHS Annual Forum and technical specialists’ meetings, and the creation and evolution of the Society’s publications. Featured prominently are accounts of AHS’s role in pursuing a combined government, industry and academia approach to rotorcraft science and technology. Also featured is the creation in 1965 of the Army-NASA Agreement for Joint Participation in Aeronautics Technology, the establishment of the U.S. Army Rotorcraft Centers of Excellence, the National Rotorcraft Technology Center (NRTC), the inauguration of the Congressional Rotorcraft Caucus and its support for the U.S. defense industrial base for rotorcraft, the battle for the survival of NASA aeronautics and critical NASA subsonic ground test facilities, and the launching of the International Helicopter Safety Team (IHST).

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.

THE AIR FORCE, 1947 to 2007
THE FIRST 60 YEARS THE AIR FORCE, 1947 to 2007 DECEMBER 2006 The Air Force Association The Air Force Association (AFA) and its affiliate Aerospace Education Foundation (AEF) consolidated in 2006 to blend the two organizations into one with an incredible amount of value added to our programs and for members and prospective members. The mission of AFA has always been to EDUCATE the public about the critical role of aerospace power in the defense of our nation, to ADVOCATE aerospace power and a strong national defense, and to SUPPORT the United States Air Force and the Air Force family. The new AFA will still maintain this mission but will include a much stronger focus on education, specifically the importance of science and math for the future of our country’s national defense, and providing scholarship support for our Air Force family. Through this, we will support our airmen and their families as well as the many who are touched by our education outreach programs. The consolidation of our two organizations allows AFA to become a 501(c)(3) charitable educational organization, in which all donations are tax deductible. With your help we will be able to expand our programs and their impact on those who participate in them. We need your support and ongoing financial commitment to realize our potential. AFA disseminates information through Air Force Magazine, Air Force Magazine Online, the Eaker Institute, public outreach, and national conferences and symposia. Learn more about AFA by visiting us on the Web at www.AFA.org. Cover Image: Cartoonist Milton Caniff drew this cover, showing World War II pilot Steve Canyon talking with an F-15 pilot, especially for Air Force Magazine’s September 1972 issue commemorating USAF’s silver anniversary.
