+ American Helicopter Society (AHS) Alfred Gessow Best Paper Award.
Awarded to Anubhav Datta (ARC and the Science and Technology
Corporation), Hyeonsoo Yeo (ARC and the U.S. Army Aeroflightdynamics
Directorate), and Tom Norman (ARC) for their paper, "Experimental
Investigation and Fundamental Understanding of a Slowed UH-60A Rotor at
High Advance Ratios."
+ American Helicopter Society (AHS) Grover E. Bell Award.
Awarded to the UH-60 Airloads Wind Tunnel Test team in recognition of
successful completion of experimental measurements on a full-scale rotor
system. The Bell Award is given to foster and encourage research and
experimentation in helicopter development.
+ American Helicopter Society (AHS) Technical Fellow.
Awarded to Feridoun Farassat (LaRC), senior theoretical aeroacoustician, for his career-based accomplishments towards the goals and objectives of the vertical flight industry.
+ American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Fellows. [PDF]
Michael W. George (Headquarters) and Christopher L. Rumsey (LaRC) for
their notable and valuable contributions to the sciences and technology
of aeronautics.
+ American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Sustained Service Award.
Awarded to Jeffrey Haas (GRC) for his continued and dedicated service
and leadership to AIAA and the ground testing community, particularly in
showcasing technical excellence through conference activities.
+ Aviation Week & Space Technology Aeronautics and Propulsion Laureate Award. [PDF]
Awarded to the public/private X-51A Waverider hypersonic vehicle team
for successfully designing the X-51A Waverider that was launched from a
B-52 above the Pacific on May 26, 2010, proving that a scramjet-powered
engine "could accelerate in controlled flight for a sustained amount of
time." The air-breathing engine was first validated in a wind tunnel at
NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. NASA researchers tested
the Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne engine and will analyze the data from the
flights so they can improve computer models for future air and
spacecraft.
FAA Excellence in Aviation Research Award.
Awarded to the Future Air traffic management Concepts Evaluation Tool
(FACET) research and development team (ARC) for their critical role in
helping air traffic management researchers and service providers
explore, develop and evaluate advanced air transportation concepts
before they are field-tested and eventually deployed.
