	National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA)
		NACA concentrated mainly on laboratory studies at its Langley, Ames, and Lewis centers, gradually shifting from aerodynamic research to military rocketry as the Cold War brought an increasing priority to missile development.
		Major NACA contributions to the military missile programs came in 1955-57.

	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.
		U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission - The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA)
		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).

	N.A.C.A.(National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics)
		The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or NACA was established by Congress in 1915 as the government's aeronautical research agency.
		In 1988, a special committee of the National Research Council valued the combined replacement cost of American tunnels in the billions of dollars and wrote that the health of these facilities is integrally linked with the health of the entire national aeronautical development effort.
		With World War I looming, the committee formed a research laboratory at Langley Field, but it was not established in time to contribute to the war effort.

		Therefore, an Executive Committee (which met regularly throughout the year), composed of seven of the twelve Advisory Committee members, was given the care of the administration of NACA and the general supervision of research.
		SUCCESSOR ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT (WITH DATES AND SPHERE OF ACTIVITY TRANSFERRED): National Aeronautics and Space Administration, (09/30/58), all activities.
		NACA was responsible for many advances in aeronautical research, as well as coordinating research throughout the civil and military aviation industries.

	Æ Aeragon Air Index
		In answer to these problems and because airplanes had become such important military hardware on the brink of World War I, the US Congress established the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, commonly known as the NACA in 1915.
		Because of this and other considerations caused by the Cold War as well as the changing demands that came with rocket development, the NACA was reformulated into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, in 1958.
		In the early days of aviation, Aircraft designers had no data that could be used for improving the designs of aircraft.

	Langley Research Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Established in 1917 by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the Center currently devotes two-thirds of its programs to aeronautics, and the rest to space.
		LaRC researchers use more than 40 wind tunnels to study improved aircraft and spacecraft safety, performance, and efficiency.
		LaRC focuses primarily on aeronautical research, though the Lunar Lander was crash tested at this facility and a number of high profile space missions are planned and designed on site.

	NASA History Fact Sheet
		The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) succeeded the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) as the U.S. government agency most responsible for advancing flight-related technology.
		Building on its roots in the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, NASA has continued to conduct many types of cutting-edge aeronautics research on aerodynamics, wind shear, and other important topics using wind tunnels, flight testing, and computer simulations.
		Established on October 1, 1958, with the passage of the National Aeronautics and Space Act, signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on July 29, 1958, NASA added the development of space technology to the NACA's aeronautics mission.

	A Brief History of NASA
		Building on its roots in the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, NASA has continued to conduct many types of cutting-edge aeronautics research on aerodynamics, wind shear, and other important topics using wind tunnels, flight testing, and computer simulations.
		A direct result of the Sputnik crisis, NASA began operations on October 1, 1958, absorbing into itself the earlier National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics intact: its 8,000 employees, an annual budget of $100 million, three major research laboratories-Langley Aeronautical Laboratory, Ames Aeronautical Laboratory, and Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory-and two smaller test facilities.
		The Dyna-Soar was a precursor to later similar efforts such as the National Aerospace Plane, on which NASA and other Government agencies and private companies did advanced hypersonics research in such areas as structures, materials, propulsion, and aerodynamics.

		The book traces the NACA from its modest beginnings in World War I through the successes and disappointments of World War II to its transformation into the nucleus of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
		It told the Committee what to do without dictating how it was to be done, and it gave the Committee latitude to select its problems even as it insisted on practical applications of the results.
		A third reason for the success of the NACA was its mission: "the scientific study of the problems of flight with a view to their practical solution.

	Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 2002006469
		The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics--forerunner of today's NASA--emerged in 1915, when airplanes were curiosities made of wood and canvas and held together with yards of baling wire.
		Library of Congress subject headings for this publication: United States, National Aeronautics and Space Administration History, United States, National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics History, Airplanes United States Flight testing History, Astronautics United States History, Outer space Exploration History
		At the time an unusual example of government intrusion (and foresight, given the importance of aviation to national military concerns), the committee oversaw the development of wind tunnels, metal fabrication, propeller design, and powerful new high-speed aircraft during the 1920s and '30s.

	Results Page
		This report is a description of a new method of testing aerofoils in free flight devised by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.
		The resultant force is measured by the tension in the wires, and the direction of the resultant by the amount the wing trails backwards.
		A test was made on an aerofoil of the N.A.C.A. #64 section, 6 ft. in span and the results are compared with a similar section tested in the wind tunnel.

	History of the NACA Airfoil Project
		During the 1930's several families of airfoils and camber lines were developed by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA).
		However, when performing parametric studies on effects of such variables as thickness, location of maximum thickness, leading- edge radius, location of maximum camber and others, it is not always easy to obtain the ordinates of the desired shapes rapidly and accurately.
		The ordinates for numerous specific airfoils of these series at a coarse set of data points were published in a series of NACA reports.

	First Cross-country Flight of the Packard-Diesel Powered Aircraft, May 13, 1929
		LANGLEY FIELD, Va., May 14.---Technical leaders in American aviation gathered here today from all parts of the country for the fourth annual meeting of the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, the government technical agency for the study of unsolved aviation problems which was founded by President Wilson.
		They came to hear the report of the Advisory Committee on the problems disposed of during the last year and to renew conferences regarding the elimination of gasoline internal combustion engines from aviation.
		Today, while the technicians conferred and asked each other what the chances were for having some time in the next ten years a satisfactory Diesel type motor for airplanes, an answer to their problem remained in the visiting ships hangar, padlocked with heavy steel chains.

	Secret Committee Linked To UFOs In 1948?
		Also Chairman of the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, which became NASA, from 1939 to 1941; as well as chairman of the Joint Research and Development Board from 1945 to 1948.
		Was the goal of the secret committee to prove or disprove that these "unconventional craft" i.e., flying saucers or UFOs was a new secret weapon, and or delivery system of the former Soviet Union?
		Could this "top secret committee," composed of two of the best scientific minds of the time, as well as the father of "US Intelligence," along with two of the best from the Army and Navy be the "intelligence liaison organization" that Hillenkoetter refers to?
