...aerodynamicist performs complicated mathematical analysis in order to predict the flight characteristics of a plane still on the designer's drawing board. He advises the design groups regarding the influence of aerodynamic considerations on the eventual design of the airframe...
...reason, virtually all men accepted into aerodynamics groups have advanced degrees. To have the Ph.D. degree in aeronautics is the ideal qualification for the job. While most other types of aeronautical engineering require only four years of college training, the enormous complexity of the problems dealt with by the aerodynamicist make graduate work almost imperative...
...Committee how his $207 investment zoomed to a paper profit of $7,800,000; Glenn L. Martin, builder of swift Army bombers; Commander Jerome Clarke Hunsaker, builder of Navy airships and head of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's department of mechanical engineering; Dr. Theodor von Karman, famed Hungarian aerodynamicist in charge of aeronautics research at California Tech; Willis Ray Gregg, new No. 1 U. S. Weatherman; Elmer A. Sperry of gyroscope fame and many and many another bigwig. There they were, all day long, chilling their bones and cramping their fundaments in classroom chairs, because it was the second...
...enlisted men, ($89,000,000 had previously been appropriated for naval aviation.) Simultaneously the President nominated and the Senate ap proved Edward P. Warner and Frederick Trubee Davison as Assist ant Secretaries of the Navy and Army, respectively, to direct aviation. Edward P. Warner, skilled aero-engineer and aerodynamicist, young enthusiast, has been professor of aeronautics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he also conducted a post-graduate course for army and navy officers. Said the New York Times: "A better appointment could hardly be made." F. Trubee Davison. In the summer of 1917, people of New York were...
