First "A" In NASA; Hearing before the Subcommittee on Transportation Aviation and Weather of the Committee on Science and Technology U.S. House of Representatives Ninety=FIfth Congress Second Session July 25 26 and 27 1978 No. 92

197891243Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1978. Presumed First Edition First Printing. Wraps. Very good. iii 1 270 2 pages.Footnotes. Illustrations. The back page has a minor corner crease. Among the witnesses were Alan Lovelace Robert Loewy F. Allen Cleveland Jan Roskam and Stanely Green. The hearing addressed a key question "What research must the U.S. pursue now to meet tomorrow's challenges' At NASA Aeronautics is the study of the science of flight. Aeronautics is the method of designing an airplane or other flying machine. There are four basic areas that aeronautical engineers must understand in order to be able to design planes. To design a plane engineers must understand all of these elements. Design Process: 1 Aerodynamics. is the study of how air flows around the airplane. By studying the way air flows around the plane the engineers can define the shape of the plane. The wings the tail and the main body or fuselage of the plane all affect the way the air will move around the plane. 2. Propulsion. is the study of how to design an engine that will provide the thrust that is needed for a plane to take off and fly through the air. The engine provides the power for the airplane. The study of propulsion is what leads the the engineers determine the right kind of engine and the right amount of power that a plane will need. 3. Materials and Structures. is the study of what materials are to be used on the plane and in the engine and how those materials make the plane strong enough to fly effectively. The choice of materials that are used to make the fuselage wings tail and engine will affect the strength and stability of the plane. Many airplane materials are now made out of composites materials that are stronger than most metals and are lightweight. 4. Stability and Control. is the study of how to control the speed direction altitude and other conditions that affect how a plane flies. The engineers design the controls that are needed in order to fly and instruments are provided for the pilot in the cockpit of the plane. The pilot uses these instruments to control the stability of the plane during flight. U.S. Government Printing Office paperback

The First "A" in NASA; Hearing before the Subcommittee on Transportation Aviation and Materials of the Committee on Science and Technology U.S. House of Representatives Ninety-seventh Congress First Congress December 8 1981 No. 61

198291244Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1982. Presumed First Edition First Printing. Wraps. Very good. iv 191 1 pages. Among the witnesses include: Neil Armstrong Ronald Mottl Mary Rose Oakar Donald J. Pease J. R. Steiner F. A. Cleveland Rodger Schaufele Maurice Shank Thomas Donohus and Guyford Stever. Includes a statement of Congressman Bob Shamansky. NASA's origins trace back to 1915 with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics which soon established its people and facilities as the world's leading home for aeronautics research. Today every U.S. commercial aircraft and air traffic control facility incorporates NASA-developed technology. That heritage continues at NASA where the first "A" stands for Aeronautics and the efforts to explore the frontiers of flight and transform aviation for the 21st century are managed by the agency's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate ARMD. At NASA Aeronautics is the study of the science of flight. Aeronautics is the method of designing an airplane or other flying machine.

亜欧記録飛行記念灰皿とニッポン号新聞号外. Toa kiroku hiko kinen haizawa to Nippon-go shinbun gogai. Commemorative Ash Tray on the Intercontinental Flight from Asia to Europe WITH An Extra Edition on the Nippon's Around the World Flight.

1937219986東京. Tokyo.: 大阪毎日新聞社. Ōsaka Mainichi Shinbunsha. 1937 -1939. Porcelain ash tray illustrated with a colour map 12 x 13cm with accompanying folded newpaper sheet map black and white photographic illustrations 4pp. 54.5 x 39cm A striking pair of items reflecting Japan’s aviation ambitions on the eve of the Pacific War. By the late 1930s Japan had developed advanced aircraft capable of long-distance flight achievements that were widely celebrated and closely followed by the press. The globe-shaped ashtray commemorates the highly publicised 1937 Tokyo–London flight of the modified military aircraft Kamikaze sponsored by Asahi Shimbun. The flight captured the public imagination and was reported as a major national success. The ashtray is attractively decorated with an image of the aircraft together with its route from Japan to Britain and the precisely recorded flying time of 94 hours 17 minutes and 56 seconds. In response the rival Mainichi Shimbun sponsored an even more ambitious venture: a round-the-world flight by the aircraft Nippon. The accompanying four-page newspaper supplement promotes the undertaking with photographic illustrations including a dramatic front-page image of the aircraft flying over Mount Fuji and a detailed projected route map. Period advertisements featuring Western military aircraft add further visual and historical interest. Thenewspaper conveys a clear sense of competitive ambition expressing the hope that this flight would surpass earlier records. With a crew of seven Nippon completed its journey in approximately two months. However the outbreak of World War II in Europe shortly after departure forced the cancellation of planned stops in London and Paris although Berlin and Rome were successfully visited. Together these pieces offer a vivid insight into the intersection of aviation media rivalry and national aspiration in late 1930s Japan. . [大阪毎日新聞社]. [Ōsaka Mainichi Shinbunsha]. unknown
