+ American Helicopter Society (AHS) Robert T. Lichten Award.
Awarded to Yvonne Fuchs (LaRC) for her technical paper "Vertical Drop Testing and Analysis of the WASP Helicopter Skid Gear."

+ American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Fellow.
Damodar Ambur (LaRC). Awarded to AIAA members who have made notable and valuable contributions to aeronautics.

+ American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Fluid Dynamics Award.
Awarded to Dr. Marvin Goldstein (GRC) for outstanding contributions to the understanding of the behavior of liquids and gases in motion as related to needs in aeronautics.

+ American Physical Society (APS) Fellow.
Dr. Mujeeb R. Malik (LaRC), for his pioneering contributions to the understanding of three dimensional boundary layer stability and transition.

+ American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Fellow.
Dr. James Heidmann (GRC) for his 20 years of research and technical leadership in the areas of turbomachinery and heat transfer. Dr. Heidmann leads aerothermodynamics research in the Fundamental Aeronautics Program's Subsonic Fixed Wing Project.

Dr. Mujeeb R. Malik (LaRC). Awarded to ASME members who have been responsible for significant engineering achievements.

+ Aviation Week & Space Technology Aeronautics/Propulsion Laureate Award.
Awarded to the Quiet Spike NASA/Gulfstream flight test team for demonstrating the operability and performance of an extendable boom at speeds up to Mach 1.8, which could eventually enable a new generation of supersonic business jets. In 2006, a NASA Boeing F-15B was used to flight test the nose-boom designed to break up the initial shock of traditional sonic N-waves into a series of very weak shocks. NASA team members include NASA Quiet Spike Flight Test Pilot James Smolka (DFRC) and Flight Test Operations Engineer Leslie Molzahn (DFRC), who work for the Supersonics Project of ARMD's Fundamental Aeronautics Program.

+ National Aeronautic Association (NAA) 2008 Robert J. Collier Trophy.
Awarded to NASA's Aviation Safety Program and researchers at four NASA field installations including Langley Research Center, Ames Research Center, Dryden Flight Research Center, and Glenn Research Center, for their contributions to the Commercial Aviation Safety Team, or CAST, a unique industry and government partnership established in 1997 with the goal of reducing the U.S. commercial aviation fatal accident rate by 80 percent in 10 years.
