The central task of a 1980 workshop on the role of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in aeronautics was to examine the relationship of NASA's research capabilities to the state of U.S. aviation and to make recommendations about NASA's future role in aeronautics. The specific task of the Panel on Transport Aircraft was to…

The central task of a 1980 workshop on the role of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in aeronautics was to examine the relationship of NASA's research capabilities to the state of U.S. aviation and to make recommendations about NASA's future role in aeronautics. Following a brief introduction, the Overview Panel on…

This volume represents the collection of papers and panel discussions of the (NASA)/University Conference held in October 1974. The purpose of this conference was to bring together representatives from universities, government, and industry to discuss and assess trends and opportunities in aeronautical engineering education with the expectation of…

Discusses the development of an airway science program. The program would offer the bachelor's in airway science with five options--airway science, aircraft systems, airway electronics or airway electronics management, and airway computer science. A sample curriculum outline (focusing on the five options) is included. (JN)

Describes the successive stages of the School of Aeronautical Engineering of Madrid, Spain, in terms of entry requirements, curricula guidelines, options or specialties, duration of studies, and number of graduates. Also includes a description of the Spanish aeronautical industry and its evolution. (Author/PVD)

Two properties of a wing, namely aspect ratio and wing loading, are described and the matrix approach is used to make certain deductions about particular wing plans. Some examples are provided which show how the matrix transformation of one wing plan into another brings about predictable changes in wing properties. (KR)

Sixteen background papers presented to a plenary session at a 1980 workshop on the role of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in aeronautics are presented. The central task of the workshop was to examine the relationship of NASA's research capabilities to the state of U.S. aviation and to make recommendations about NASA's…

Presented is a description of the evolution and curriculum of the masters program in aeronautical systems at the University of West Florida between 1969 and 1976. An explanation is given of the purpose and outcome of the group theses and research project in which the students taught themselves the systems approach. (SMB)

Discusses the job hunting efforts of Kenneth Morris in his efforts to pursue a career in aviation. Aviation job market prospects are also discussed. (SL)

Highlights a study examining manpower supply/demand in general aviation. Eight job categories were examined: pilots, flight instructors, engineers, machinists/toolers, and A&P, airframe, and avionics technicians. Findings among others indicate that shortages in indicated job categories exist because personnel are recruited by other industries.…

There is no aerospace industry in Turkey, and the level of operational activity is low even though the potential for the exploitation of aviation is high. The government of Turkey hopes to establish an aircraft factory in conjunction with a foreign contractor and is aware of the need for aerospace engineering education. This paper describes the…

Describes the organization of the aviation programs within the School of Technical Careers at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. The associate degree programs in aviation include aviation and avionics technology and flight training. The baccalaureate programs include a variety of aviation specialization possibilities. (SA)
