  National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 formed the core of the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
NACA was pronounced 'En Ay Cee Ay' rather than 'Nakka', and the name remains familiar in the automotive world for the NACA duct, a form of air intake, or to those in the aircraft industry, as several series of NACA-developed aerofoils are still being used in new design.

 The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA)
Old NACA hands believed that their independence from political pressures was partly the reason that NACA was the premier aeronautical research institution in the world during the 1920s and 1930s.
NACA engineers tested 78 airfoil shapes in its wind tunnels and in 1933 issued Technical Report No. 460, "The Characteristics of 78 Related Airfoil Sections from Tests in the Variable-Density Wind Tunnel." The authors of this report described a four-digit scheme that defined and classified the shape of the airfoil.
The NACA also studied the problems of flight in the upper atmosphere and at hypersonic speeds, which would lead to the development of the rocket-propelled X-15 research airplane.

 Aerospaceweb.org | Ask Us - NACA Airfoil Series
As you suggest in your questions, the early NACA airfoil series, the 4-digit, 5-digit, and modified 4-/5-digit, were generated using analytical equations that describe the camber (curvature) of the mean-line (geometric centerline) of the airfoil section as well as the section's thickness distribution along the length of the airfoil.
NACA 2415 airfoil has a maximum thickness of 15% with a camber of 2% located 40% back from the airfoil leading edge (or 0.4c).
NACA 23012 has a maximum thickness of 12%, a design lift coefficient of 0.3, and a maximum camber located 15% back from the leading edge.

 NACA evaluation proposal
NACA's evaluation team is made up of people who are actively working in the animal care and control field, in management positions from agencies all over the country.
NACA is committed to keeping expenses to a minimum and will work with the contracting agency to this end.
NACA will complete this comprehensive needs assessment in eight (8) distinct but interrelated phases; data collection, interviews with key individuals, on-site observations in every job environment, analysis of data, comparative analyses, alternatives and recommendations, submission of a well-documented study and oral briefings.

 Chapter 1, NACA Origins (1915-1930)
The prefix "National" soon became customary, was officially adopted, and the familiar acronym NACA emerged as a widely recognized term among the aeronautics community in America.
The NACA hierarchy in Washington and at Langley accepted this sort of "bootlegged" work as long as it was not too exotic, because it was often as productive as formal programs and kept the Langley staff moving out in front of the conventional frontier.
The NACA engineers at Langley knew how to scale up data from the small models tested in their sea level, open circuit tunnels, but they soon realized that their estimates were often wide of the mark.

 CatAdjuster.org Forum Archives - The contrasting benefits of NACA vs CADO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Another obvious contrast is that NACA has a declining membership, in fact it seems that one of its primary goals for 2004 is to double the current 398 members.
NACA does seem to recognize the value of education and training, and pursues various means to accredite educational processes sponsored by them with CE credits towards licencing or the RPA designation, or maintenance of those.
NACA does seem to be quite a distinct "society" from that of CADO.

 NASA - WWII & NACA: US Aviation Research Helped Speed Victory
The NACA was established in 1915 "to supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight with a view to their practical solution." During the next 25 years, the NACA became one of the world's premier aeronautical research organizations.
In fact, the NACA was far behind Great Britain and Germany in recognizing the significance of jet propulsion, the single most important development in aviation during the war period.
The NACA began its studies in the late 1920s at Langley, however, work was transferred to Ames as soon as the California lab was opened.
