NASA ANNOUNCES FIRST LICHTEN INTERNSHIP AWARD WINNER
WASHINGTON - NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, in
cooperation with the American Helicopter Society International (AHS),
selected Eric Greenwood II from the University of Maryland, University
Park, as its first NASA AHS Lichten Internship Award winner.
Greenwood was selected based on his paper "Helicopter External Noise
Radiation in Turning Flight: Theory and Experiment," submitted to the
AHS International 2007 Robert L. Lichten Competition.
The award supports NASA's goal to enhance the educational experiences of
highly qualified U.S. engineering students in fields of interest to the
agency's aeronautics program. These fields include fundamental research,
particularly in subsonic rotary wing technologies.
Greenwood will receive an eight-week, NASA-sponsored internship to be
split between Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., and Langley
Research Center in Hampton, Va. Both centers are active in helicopter
noise research as part of NASA's Subsonic Rotary Wing Project. Greenwood
will spend the summer immersed in NASA rotary wing science and
technology projects.
Greenwood graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology,
Rochester, N.Y., with a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical
engineering (aerospace option), in 2005. He has specialized in
rotorcraft acoustics for his graduate program in aerospace engineering.
