+ American Helicopter Society (AHS) Technical Fellow Award.
Awarded to Dr. Wayne Johnson (ARC) for his career-based accomplishments
toward the goals and objectives of the vertical flight industry.
+ American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Air Breathing Propulsion Award.
Awarded to Anthony Strazisar, Ph.D. (GRC) for pioneering research
contributions in the area of gas turbine fluid dynamics, and for
advancing compressor technology through development of laser anemometer
measurement techniques and compressor stall control strategies.
+ American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Best Paper Awards.
During 2006, the following technical papers were selected by the AIAA as
"Best Paper." Authors received a certificate of merit, recognizing
technical and scientific excellence.
- AIAA Air Transportation Systems and Operations.
"Multi-Center Traffic Management Advisor: Operational Test Results,"
AIAA Paper 2005-7300, by Todd Farley, Steven Landry and Ty Hoang (ARC),
Monicarol Nickelson, FAA; Kevin Levin and Dennis Rowe, MITRE Center for
Advanced Aviation Systems Development; Jerry Welch, MIT Lincoln
Laboratory.
- AIAA Ground Testing.
"Improvements to the Total Temperature Calibration of the NASA Glenn
Icing Research Tunnel," AIAA Paper 2005-4276, by Earnest Arrington,
Sierra Lobo Inc., and Jose Gonsalez, (GRC).
- ASME/Boeing Best Paper (co-sponsored).
"NASA Structural Analysis Report on the American Airlines Flight 587
Accident Local Analysis of the Right Rear Lug," AIAA Paper 2005-2255, by
Ivatury Raju, Edward Glaessgen, Brian Mason, Thiagarajan Krishnamurthy,
and Carlos Davila (LaRC).
+ American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Fellows.
Dr. Thomas F. Brooks (LaRC), Kevin Petersen (DFRC) and Richard Wlezien
(NASA Headquarters). Awarded to AIAA members who have made notable and
valuable contributions to aeronautics.
+ American Society of Materials (ASM) Fellow.
Dr. Bradley Lerch (GRC) for outstanding contributions to the
understanding of deformation and fatigue of metallic alloys and
composites leading to improved materials and models.
+ American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
IGTI CDI Best Paper Award.
Awarded by the Controls, Diagnostics & Instrumentation (CDI) Committee
of the International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI) to Jonathan S. Litt
(GRC) for "An Optimal Orthogonal Decomposition Method for Kalman
Filter-Based Turbofan Engine Thrust Estimation" as the best paper at
Turbo Expo 2005. The paper presents a new approach for accurately
estimating un-measurable engine variables such as thrust, even as the
engine deteriorates with use. In addition to providing optimal
estimation, the methodology was shown to be potentially useful for
diagnostic applications.
Innovative Practice Award.
Awarded to Dr. Suresh Joshi (LaRC) for his excellent sustained
contributions in the areas of dynamic systems, measurement, or control
in engineering practice. The award is presented bi-annually by the
Dynamic Systems and Control Division of ASME.
+ Joint Army/Navy/NASA/Air Force (JANNAF) Interagency Propulsion Committee Outstanding Sustained Contributions and Leadership in Air Breathing Propulsion Award.
Awarded to Dr. Lou Povinelli (GRC) for his sustained contributions to
propulsion research, and for his technical expertise and leadership in
the development of advanced aircraft propulsion with particular emphasis
on his understanding of fluid dynamics and combustion.
+ Presidential Rank Award for Meritorious Senior Professional.
Awarded to Dr. Isaiah M. Blankson (GRC) for exceptional long-term
accomplishments in managing and conducting research in the areas of
hypersonics, aerodynamics, and propulsion. Dr. Blankson also works on
millimeter-wave imaging as applied to aviation safety. Rank Award
nominations are evaluated by boards of private citizens and approved by
the President.
+ R&D 100 Award.
Awarded to the team of Stanley E. Woodard, Qamar Shams, Bryant D. Taylor
(LaRC) for a wireless sensor system that does not require a battery or
receiver. The Magnetic Field Response Measurement Acquisition System
provides an easier and more efficient way to use sensors on aircraft and
spacecraft as well as other vehicles.

+ SAE International Cliff Garrett Turbomachinery Engineering Award.
Awarded to John Adamczyk, Ph.D. (GRC) for his outstanding contributions
as an authority in the engineering of turbomachinery for on-highway,
off-highway, and/or spacecraft and aircraft uses. Dr. Adamczyk will
present a lecture and paper at the 2006 Power System Conference in New
Orleans.
+ SPIE Rudolph Kingslake Medal and Prize.
Awarded to Dr. Grigory Adamovsky (GRC), along with colleagues from the
Alabama A&M University, in recognition of the most noteworthy original
paper to appear in the Society's official journal, "Optical
Engineering," on the theoretical or experimental aspects of optical
engineering. Dr. Adamovsky's paper entitled "Light-driven Actuators
Based on Polymer Films" was published in the March 2006 issue.
