1946 military human subject research on the effects of wind on humans
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915, to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958, the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NACA was pronounced as individual letters, rather than as an acronym.
Among other advancements, NACA research and development produced the NACA duct, a type of air intake used in modern automotive applications, the NACA cowling, and several series of NACA airfoils which are still used in aircraft manufacturing.

On March 3, 2015, NASA celebrates 100 years since the founding of its predecessor -- the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or NACA.
With a small budget and no paid staff, the NACA began developing the capabilities our nation needed to gain leadership in aeronautics. Throughout and beyond World War II, the NACA developed or helped develop many aeronautical breakthroughs that are still used today -- from engine cowlings, to retractable landing gear, and jet engine compressors and turbines.
When the nation's focus began turning to space during the 1950s, it was decided that the NACA's 7,500 employees and $300 million in facilities would transition on October 1, 1958, to a new agency. Some of the NACA's brightest minds became leaders of the space effort and directors of NASA research centers. One former NACA employee put the first footprints on the moon.

On March 3, 1915, Congress established the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) to "direct and conduct research and experimentation in aeronautics, with a view to their practical solution."
In 1946 at Muroc, California the NACA established a facility known as the NACA High-Speed Flight Research Station, now known as the NASA Neil A. Armstrong Flight Research Center, to conduct flight research and validate the technologies of high speed flight, including the Collier Trophy winning supersonic X-1 and hypersonic X-15 rocket planes.
Today NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards, California is helping advance NASA’s missions of aeronautics research, Earth and space science and aerospace technology. In 2014 the Center was named for Neil A. Armstrong, an NACA and NASA research test pilot from 1955 to 1962 who went on to command the historic Apollo 11 mission. It is home to the Hugh L. Dryden Aeronautical Test Range and serves as NASA's center of excellence for atmospheric flight research.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or N-A-C-A – NASA’s predecessor, NASA astronauts Barry Wilmore and Terry Virts sent a congratulatory message from onboard the International Space Station. The NACA was founded on March 3, 1915, “to supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight with a view to their practical solution, and to determine the problems which should be experimentally attacked, and to discuss their solution and their application to practical questions.” In 1958, responding to the nation’s fear of falling behind the Soviets in the utilization and exploration of outer space, Congress passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, which formed a new civilian space agency, NASA. NACA staff, research facilities and operations formed the core of NASA when it came into existence on 1 October 1958.

On October 1, 1958, the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NACA was pronounced as individual letters, rather than as an acronym.
Among other advancements, NACA research and development produced the NACA duct, a type of air intake used in modern automotive applications, the NACA cowling and several series of NACA airfoils which are still used in aircraft manufacturing...
NACA began as an emergency measure during World War I to promote industry/academic/government coordination on war-related projects. It was modeled on similar national agencies found in Europe. Such agencies were the French "L'Etablissement Central de l'Aérostation Militaire" in Meudon (now Office National d'Etudes et de Recherches Aerospatiales), the German "Aerodynamical Laboratory of the University of Göttingen" and the Russian "Aerodynamic Institute of Koutchino". However, the most influential agency upon which the NACA was based was the British "Advisory Committee for Aeronautics".
In December 1912, President William Howard Taft had appointed a National Aerodynamical Laboratory Commission chaired by Robert S. Woodward, president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Legislation was introduced in both houses of Congress early in January 1913 to approve the commission, but when it came to a vote, the legislation was defeated.
Charles D. Walcott -- secretary of the Smithsonian Institution from 1907 to 1927 -- took up the effort, and in January 1915, Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, and House Representative Ernest W. Roberts, introduced identical resolutions recommending the creation of an advisory committee as outlined by Walcott. The purpose of the committee was "to supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight with a view to their practical solution, and to determine the problems which should be experimentally attacked and to discuss their solution and their application to practical questions." Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote that he "heartily [endorsed] the principle" on which the legislation was based. Walcott then suggested the tactic of adding the resolution to the Naval Appropriations Bill.
According to one source, "The enabling legislation for the NACA slipped through almost unnoticed as a rider attached to the Naval Appropriation Bill, on 3 March 1915." The committee of 12 people, all unpaid, were allocated a budget of $5,000 per year.
President Woodrow Wilson signed it into law the same day, thus formally creating the Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, as it was called in the legislation, on the last day of the 63rd Congress.
The act of Congress creating NACA, approved March 3, 1915, reads, "...It shall be the duty of the advisory committee for aeronautics to supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight with a view to their practical solution....
On January 29, 1920, President Wilson appointed pioneering flier and aviation engineer Orville Wright to NACA's board...
Facilities
- Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory (Hampton, Virginia)
- Ames Aeronautical Laboratory (Moffett Field)
- Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory (Lewis Research Center)
- Muroc Flight Test Unit (Edwards Air Force Base)
In 1922, NACA had 100 employees. By 1938, it had 426. In addition to formal assignments, staff were encouraged to pursue unauthorized "bootleg" research, provided that it was not too exotic. The result was a long string of fundamental breakthroughs, including "thin airfoil theory" (1920s), "NACA engine cowl" (1930s), the "NACA airfoil" series (1940s), and the "area rule" for supersonic aircraft (1950s)...

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915, to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958, the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NACA was pronounced as individual letters, rather than as an acronym (and after NASA first came into being, it too was vocalized as individual letters as well).
Among other advancements, NACA research and development produced the NACA duct, a type of air intake used in modern automotive applications, the NACA cowling, and several series of NACA airfoils which are still used in aircraft manufacturing.
During World War II, NACA was described as "The Force Behind Our Air Supremacy" due to its key role in producing working superchargers for high altitude bombers, and for producing the cutting edge wing profiles for the North American P-51 Mustang. NACA was also key in developing the area rule that is used on all modern supersonic aircraft, and was responsible for the key compressibility research that allowed the Bell X-1 to break the sound barrier.

On March 3, 1915, Congress established the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) to "direct and conduct research and experimentation in aeronautics, with a view to their practical solution."
In 1946 at Muroc, California the NACA established a facility known as the NACA High-Speed Flight Research Station, now known as the NASA Neil A. Armstrong Flight Research Center, to conduct flight research and validate the technologies of high speed flight, including the Collier Trophy winning supersonic X-1 and hypersonic X-15 rocket planes.
Today NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards, California is helping advance NASA’s missions of aeronautics research, Earth and space science and aerospace technology. In 2014 the Center was named for Neil A. Armstrong, an NACA and NASA research test pilot from 1955 to 1962 who went on to command the historic Apollo 11 mission. It is home to the Hugh L. Dryden Aeronautical Test Range and serves as NASA's center of excellence for atmospheric flight research.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or N-A-C-A – NASA’s predecessor, NASA astronauts Barry Wilmore and Terry Virts sent a congratulatory message from onboard the International Space Station. The NACA was founded on March 3, 1915, “to supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight with a view to their practical solution, and to determine the problems which should be experimentally attacked, and to discuss their solution and their application to practical questions.” In 1958, responding to the nation’s fear of falling behind the Soviets in the utilization and exploration of outer space, Congress passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, which formed a new civilian space agency, NASA. NACA staff, research facilities and operations formed the core of NASA when it came into existence on 1 October 1958.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Advisory_Committee_for_Aeronautics
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915, to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958, the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NACA was pronounced as individual letters, rather than as an acronym.
Among other advancements, NACA research and development produced the NACA duct, a type of air intake used in modern automotive applications, the NACA cowling and several series of NACA airfoils which are still used in aircraft manufacturing...
NACA began as an emergency measure during World War I to promote industry/academic/government coordination on war-related projects. It was modeled on similar national agencies found in Europe. Such agencies were the French "L'Etablissement Central de l'Aérostation Militaire" in Meudon (now Office National d'Etudes et de Recherches Aerospatiales), the German "Aerodynamical Laboratory of the University of Göttingen" and the Russian "Aerodynamic Institute of Koutchino". However, the most influential agency upon which the NACA was based was the British "Advisory Committee for Aeronautics".
In December 1912, President William Howard Taft had appointed a National Aerodynamical Laboratory Commission chaired by Robert S. Woodward, president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Legislation was introduced in both houses of Congress early in January 1913 to approve the commission, but when it came to a vote, the legislation was defeated.
Charles D. Walcott -- secretary of the Smithsonian Institution from 1907 to 1927 -- took up the effort, and in January 1915, Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, and House Representative Ernest W. Roberts, introduced identical resolutions recommending the creation of an advisory committee as outlined by Walcott. The purpose of the committee was "to supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight with a view to their practical solution, and to determine the problems which should be experimentally attacked and to discuss their solution and their application to practical questions." Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote that he "heartily [endorsed] the principle" on which the legislation was based. Walcott then suggested the tactic of adding the resolution to the Naval Appropriations Bill.
According to one source, "The enabling legislation for the NACA slipped through almost unnoticed as a rider attached to the Naval Appropriation Bill, on 3 March 1915." The committee of 12 people, all unpaid, were allocated a budget of $5,000 per year.
President Woodrow Wilson signed it into law the same day, thus formally creating the Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, as it was called in the legislation, on the last day of the 63rd Congress.
The act of Congress creating NACA, approved March 3, 1915, reads, "...It shall be the duty of the advisory committee for aeronautics to supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight with a view to their practical solution....

In 1922, NACA had 100 employees. By 1938, it had 426. In addition to formal assignments, staff were encouraged to pursue unauthorized "bootleg" research, provided that it was not too exotic. The result was a long string of fundamental breakthroughs, including "thin airfoil theory" (1920s), "NACA engine cowl" (1930s), the "NACA airfoil" series (1940s), and the "area rule" for supersonic aircraft (1950s)...

NACA Founded - Decades TV Network
America may have been first in flight but aviation advances in Europe were surpassing the U.S. by 1914. To take back the lead and strengthen America’s flight technology, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was founded on March 3, 1915. The advisory committee was made up of 12 unpaid members with a budget of $5,000. Four decades later, the NACA had transformed the U.S. into an aeronautics leader. Its successor, NASA, would take over for the race to space.

NewSpace 2015 - NACA & NASA: Learning from the the Past — Creating the Future
The National Advisory Committee For Aeronautics (NACA) was established by Congress 100 years ago in 1915. Composed of twelve unpaid volunteers and with a budget of only $5,000 per year for the first 5 years the NACA helped lay the foundation for the thriving aerospace industry we have today. In 1958 when Congress established NASA all four of the NACA Centers and personnel were transferred into this new agency. This panel will look back and examine how the NACA was able to accomplish so much, so quickly with so little and look forward to how NASA can learn from this rich history as it charts the course into the Solar System in the 21st century.

Mr. Reeder's extensive career with NASA and the agency's predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics began in 1938 and ended in 1980.
Along the way, he captained more than 235 airplanes, 61 helicopters and eight vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
This is a presentation given at NASA Langley Research Center by John "Jack" Reeder in December 1986. During his tenure, Mr. Reeder rose from junior aeronautical engineer at the full-scale wind tunnel, to test pilot, to head of flight operations and chief test pilot, to assistant chief of flight mechanics and technology. Mr. Reeder studied aeronautical engineering at the University of Michigan, and upon graduation in 1938, was hired by NACA. He was assigned to the full-scale wind tunnel at Langley and transferred to the Flight Research Division in 1942.
In his first year there, he flew 19 new aircraft, nine of which were fighters. In 1951, he became head of Flight Operations and chief test pilot. In 1958 Mr. Reeder became assistant chief of the Flight Mechanics and Technology Division.
Mr. Reeder was NASA's first helicopter test pilot and was best know for his pioneering work in helicopter and vertical takeoff and landing aerodynamics and handling. He was a member of the team that drafted the original military specifications for the flying qualities of helicopters, and a founding member of the Twirly Birds.

Advisory Committee
The stars so far
Stay up all night
They've got some kind of way
To shine their light
I'd like to have one
Hold it tight
Start a fire
Burn all night
You have to go
I wanted you to stay
But just like you said
After you left i was okay
The sheets all broke and
The coals are dead
Migration high up
Above my head
You know the way
You've got some kind of way
It comes so natural
But seasons change
Now it's hot like summer
Winter's days are numbered
You have such cold hands
But that weather lifted after you left
