KERREBROCK Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 78 PUBLISHED 2000 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. JEROME CLARKE HUNSAKER August 26, 1886–September 10, 1984 BY JACK L. KERREBROCK HEN JEROME C. HUNSAKER died in September 1984 at the Wage of ninety-eight, his illustrious career had spanned the entire existence of the aerospace industry, from the very beginnings of aeronautics to exploration of the solar system. His colleagues had extended from the Wright Brothers to Charles Stark Draper, and included virtually all of the founders and leaders of aeronautics and astronautics. Be- ginning with important technical contributions, he soon turned his attention to creating and managing the new in- stitutions needed to deal with the growth of the aeronau- tics industry. By the early 1930s he was at the pinnacle of the aeronautics industry with leadership roles in academia, government, and industry. In recognition of these achieve- ments, in 1933 he was awarded the prestigious Guggenheim Medal, the fifth such recipient after Orville Wright, Ludwig Prandtl, Fredrick Lanchester, and Juan de la Cuerva. His career continued at this level for nearly three decades. Even after his retirement in 1951 as head of the Depart- ment of Aeronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, a department he founded in 1939, Hunsaker con- tinued as chairman of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) until 1956, a position he had held 95 96 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS since 1941. Recognized the world over for his contributions to aeronautics, Hunsaker was also well regarded in the larger society.

Aerospace Examining the remarkable aerospace engineering career of Joseph G. Gavin, Jr. at the Grumman Corporation, together Aeronautics with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s indispensable institutional role, reveals factors that helped Air Force generate a golden American age in air and space. Gavin’s education and contributions offer an enlightening yet Apollo Program under-considered window into aerospace history. Coinciding exactly with the Cold War era’s lofty defense Astronautics Charles Stark Draper spending and ambitious megaprojects, his employment intersected with dynamic developments unmatched Computer before or since. Throughout, Gavin and his efforts connected symbiotically with “Tech”—a microcosm, meeting Draper Laboratory place, and mainstay of American aeronautics and astronautics.

  • Jerome Clarke Hunsaker
    Daniel Guggenheim Medal MEDALIST FOR 1933 For contributions to the science of aerodynamics, to the science and art of aircraft design, and to the practical construction and utilization of rigid airships. JEROME CLARKE HUNSAKER The contributions of Jerome Clarke Hunsaker to the development of flight and the flight sciences are so many and varied as almost to defy classification. He was born August 26, 1886, at Creston, Iowa; educated in the public schools of Detroit and Saginaw, Michigan; at the United States Naval Academy, from which he was graduated in 1908 at the head of his class, and at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Hunsaker was early interested in aeronautics, but airplane design as an engineering art did not then exist in this country. With the aid of Mrs. Hunsaker, the former Alice Avery, he translated Eiffel’s pioneer work on wind tunnel testing of airplane models, and in 1913 went to Paris to join Eiffel’s assistants. Returning the following year, he inaugurated wind tunnel research at MIT to determine the aerodynamical data necessary for rational aircraft design. This work formed the basis in October 1914 for a graduate course in aeronautical engineering at MIT, the first in the United States. In 1916 MIT awarded him the degree of Doctor of Science for wind tunnel research on dynamical stability. In 1916 he was put in charge of the Aircraft Division of the Navy Bureau of Construction and Repair, and soon was responsible for the design, construction and procurement of all Naval aircraft. In 1918 he was charged with two special engi­neering projects: to build a Zeppelin, and to design and build a flying boat to cross the Atlantic.

Memorial Tributes: Volume 3 JEROME CLARKE HUNSAKER 219 Jerome Clarke Hunsaker 1886–1984 By Arthur E. Raymond Jerome Clarke Hunsaker, who became widely known, admired, and influential as a result of his lifelong contributions to the field of aviation, died at his Boston home on September 10, 1984, at the age of ninety-eight. Jerry will long be remembered as a gentle, friendly man, as well as a superb teacher, engineer, and administrator. He was modest, urbane, clear-headed, and at experienced ease with almost all the important phases of his field, which encompassed research and the design, manufacture, and operation of airplanes, seaplanes, and rigid and nonrigid airships. He was born in Creston, Iowa, in 1886 and was educated in the public schools of Detroit and Saginaw. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at the head of his class in 1908, five years after the Wright brothers' first flight, which occurred when he was at the impressionable age of seventeen. After a year of sea duty, he was ordered to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where his interest in aeronautics became a passion, and he began a study of wind tunnels as a means of obtaining the basic data needed for successful flight. He then journeyed to Paris and, with the help of his wife, the former Alice Avery, and Eiffel's assistants, he translated Eiffel's pioneering work in the testing of airplane models. When he returned to MIT in 1914, Jerome Hunsaker constructed Copyright National Academy of Sciences.
