Lunch and Learn: Predicting Heating Rates in Hypersonic Gap Flows with Guest Speaker Ms. Laura Holifield

The Dayton/Cincinnati Section offers a presentation that showcases a study investigating the flow structure in the vicinity of discontinuities at the surface of a high-speed air vehicle, with the effect of gaps and steps on aerodynamic heating of particular interest. Laura Holifield works as a researcher at the Air Force Institute of Technology, employed via the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education. She works within AFRL in the High Speed Systems Division, Fundamental Research Branch (AFRL/RQHF), with a research focus on hypersonic aerodynamics

Red Rover, Red Rover, Send Curiosity Right Over

  • students

The Orange County Section will host a presentation by Todd Barber, senior propulsion engineer at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. His presentation will cover Curiosity’s mission to the red planet in detail. Topics to be discussed include a bit on the history of Mars rovers at JPL, the scientific motivation for Curiosity, and the preparations for launch two days after Thanksgiving 2011. Todd Barber has spent two decades as lead propulsion engineer on the Cassini mission to Saturn, following part-time work on the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission, Deep Impact mission, and the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission, which landed the large rover Curiosity on the red planet on August 5, 2012.

Inventing the Joint Strike Fighter, A Zoom Presentation by Dr. Paul Bevilaqua

This presentation will describe the technical and program challenges involved in developing the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and show how an innovative idea became an international program with engineers from half a dozen countries developing a single replacement aircraft for multiple aircraft types. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter was developed to meet the multirole fighter requirements of the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and our allies. The Air Force variant is a supersonic, single engine stealth fighter. The Navy variant has a larger wing and more robust structure in order to operate from aircraft carriers, while the Marine Corps variant incorporates an innovative propulsion system that can be switched from a turbofan cycle to a turbo shaft cycle for vertical takeoff and landing. This propulsion system enabled the X-35 to become the first aircraft in history to fly at supersonic speeds, hover, and land vertically. The development team won the Collier Trophy, which recognizes “the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America” each year, for this accomplishment.

This presentation will be on Wednesday, 9 November 2022, from 1200–1300 hrs PST, via Zoom.
