AOPA Pilot Magazine - July 2019 - 31

In the late 1980s, NASA's Langley
Research Center studied wing design to
develop high-efficiency civil aviation wings
that could land and take off in shorter distances and stall at a lower airspeed. This
research has been used in the development
of short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft
and in STOL kits. Engineers at Langley also
helped develop the space shuttle.
The Ames Research Center, which
helps provide software expertise to the
International Space Station, developed a system to plan airliner flights more efficiently.
This concept was the basis for the first-generation flight management systems (FMS).
As flight management systems became more
widespread, general aviation's sophisticated
on-board technology followed.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the number
of stall-spin accidents was higher than
it is today. At that time, NASA began the
General Aviation Spin Program, which used
extensive testing to develop guidelines for
designing more spin-resistant aircraft. The
Spin Program's work has led to more stable aircraft today and safer designs for the
future-the Icon A5 is a notable product of
that research.

'Apollo 11' the movie

Based on more than 11,000 hours of
voice recordings and newly discovered 65-millimeter film footage,
the documentary film Apollo 11 was
released May 14 on Blu-ray, DVD, and
digital, and can be seen at select
theaters nationwide. Directed by
Todd Douglas Miller, the film stars
Buzz Aldrin. Aldrin and Neil
Armstrong were the first men to
walk on the moon.

These are just a few examples of
NASA's contributions. NASA has always
accepted challenges that press the limits of what is possible. As President John
F. Kennedy said in his speech at Rice
University in 1962: "We choose to go
to the moon in this decade and do the
other things, not because they are easy,
but because they are hard."
For what you've done so far and for
what is yet to come: Thanks, NASA.

HEADLINES THAT
AFFECT YOU

Recent news from the aviation world
FAA UNDERESTIMATED
DRONE GROWTH
Surveys and other new data
helped the FAA refine predictions
for rapid growth of drones and
general aviation stability (despite
an expected decline in piston aircraft) over the coming decades.
The agency expects certificated
remote pilots will soon outnumber private and commercial pilots
combined.
AIRPORT IN THE SKY REOPENS
Pilots all over Southern California
and beyond rejoiced at news of
the grand reopening of Catalina
Island's popular Airport in the Sky
in May, a favorite fly-in destination
that is south of the Los Angeles Basin and 22 miles from the
coast of California. The historic
airport had been closed since the
beginning of the year for runway
repairs.
BONANZA SOCIETY POSTS PRIZES
TO SAVE FLEET
Beechcraft engineers used
magnesium to skin the ruddervators of V-tail Bonanzas dating
back to 1947, but magnesium has
since become very hard to come
by. Engineering an alternative
that works as well could earn an
engineer, or team of engineers,
a share of $200,000 as a reward
for saving the fleet from being
forever grounded by corrosion.
