The American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics (AIAA) is a
Professional Society committed to advancing the art, science, and technology
of aeronautics & astronautics. AIAA encourages original research,
furthers dissemination of knowledge, fosters the professional development of
those engaged in scientific and engineering activities, improves public
understanding of the profession and its contributions, fosters education in
engineering and science as well as other professional groups, and stimulates
outstanding professional accomplishments. As a student chapter of AIAA,
our goal is to foster interest in the areas of aeronautics and astronautics, and
to providing an avenue of communication between its members and the professional
Aerospace industry.

4th Annual Dayton Engineering Sciences
Symposium - The 4th Annual
Dayton Engineering Sciences Symposium is scheduled for 27 October 2008
at Wright State University.
.
Sponsored by the Dayton Section of ASME, the symposium is designed to
facilitate communication between members of the regional technical
community, as well as to provide a forum for students, both
undergraduate and graduate, and researchers/practitioners to present
their work. The symposium program will include several parallel
sessions in the morning and afternoon, a luncheon, an industry
exhibition, and a Keynote Address. Presentations are limited to 20
minutes, including time for questions. No written paper is
required. The Dayton Section of ASME will confer “Best
Presentation” awards at the annual Section Awards Banquet in late
Spring, 2009. Abstract submission is now open and
are being solicited in all areas of engineering science. Specific
topic areas are expected to include: Applied Engineering;
Biomechanics; Computer Engineering; Controls Science; Design &
Optimization; Electronics & Sensors; Engineering Education; Fluid
Mechanics; Industrial & Human Factors; Materials & Processing;
Nanotechnology; Power, Propulsion, & Energy Systems; Structures &
Solid Mechanics; Thermal Sciences; Engineering Innovation; and
Undergraduate Design Projects. Abstract Submissions are limited
to 150 words, and must be submitted online through the conference web
site,
http://www.cs.wright.edu/~asme/DESS.htm , which contains all
details of the symposium.
Sept. 16, 2008: Mr. Adrian
Cronauer
"Accounting For America's Missing Heroes"
Former U.S. Air Force sergeant Adrian Cronauer
co-authored the original story for the major motion picture, Good
Morning, Vietnam! In that film, Cronauer was
portrayed--loosely--by Robin Williams whose performance was nominated
for an Academy Award. A subsequent special program on National Public
Radio about the role of military radio in Vietnam earned Cronauer a
1992 Ohio State Award and two 1991 Gold Medals from the New York Radio
Festival.
Nov. 19, 2008: Mr. Sean Moulton
"Challenges of the Next Generation Unmanned Aircraft System"
Mr. Sean "Skipper" Moulton grew up in Montgomery,
Alabama and graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in 1983. He
entered the U.S. Air Force Academy in June of 1983 and graduated with
a Bachelor of Science degree in Management in 1987. Upon graduation,
he was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant.

33rd Dayton Cincinnati Aerospace Sympossium
-
The Dayton-Cincinnati Section of AIAA held the
33rd Annual Dayton-Cincinnati Aerospace Sciences Symposium on Tuesday 4 March 2008 at the Dayton Mall Holiday Inn. The
symposium program included twelve parallel sessions in the morning and
afternoon, covering a wide range of aerospace-related technical
disciplines. This is the premier annual event for regional
aerospace research and is designed to foster technical interchange
between academic, government, and industry communities. Thanks
to all that made this event happen and we hope to see you at the
symposium next year with a submission!

Robert Gilliland at the Nutter Center:
Robert Gilliland, test pilot for the SR-71 Blackbird, gave an
presentation on his experiences as a test pilot in the Berry room of
the Nutter Center on May 7th. He recounted several interesting
and entertaining stories related to history and heritage of aviation.
This event was partially sponsored by the Dayton-Cincinnati section of
AIAA

GE Aircraft Learning Centre Tour: As
part of E-week, AIAA and ASME arranged a tour of the GE Learning
Centre in Evendale, just outside the GE Aircraft Engine Plant, on
Friday Feb. 23.
Below is a group photo in front the enormous GE-90 (this engine is
over 10 feet in diameter!):
Upon return from the tour, ASME and AIAA held a pizza party in 145
Russ with a showing of the documentary IMAX: Stormchasers.
Judging by the number of students, this was the largest and most
attended event during E-week.
We are already in the planning phases for a similar tour of the
Tank plant in Lima for next quarter, so if you are interested in these
sorts of activities but want to make sure you can attend, please send
us an email with your availability for next quarter so we can plan
around it.
