IL.
Alan Wiechman, Vice President, Advanced Systems, Integrated
Defense Systems at The Boeing Company in St. Louis, MO will receive
the AIAA Aerospace Design Engineering Award for advancement of
aircraft survivability through radar signature reduction, including
test range fixture experimental validation of low observable
characteristics, and leading low observables integration for
demonstrator and operational aircraft. The award is presented to
recognize design engineers who have made outstanding technical,
educational or creative achievements that exemplify the quality and
element of engineering design.
Henry Yang, Chancellor at the University of California, Santa
Barbara, will receive the AIAA Structures, Structural Dynamics, and
Materials Award for sustained contributions to outstanding
research, education and service in aerospace structures, structural
dynamics and materials, and for pioneering work in shell finite
elements, transonic flutter, structural dynamics, and computational
materials processing. The award is presented for an outstanding
recent technical or scientific contribution in aerospace
structures, structural dynamics, or materials.
David Hall, Chief Analyst at SURVICE Engineering Company in
Belcamp, MD will receive the AIAA Survivability Award for
exceptional contributions as a visionary and leader in the
development of integrated survivability assessment, modeling and
simulation verification, validation accreditation processes and
practices. The award is presented to an individual or a team to
recognize outstanding achievement or contribution in design,
analysis, implementation and/or education of survivability in an
aerospace system.
George Lesieutre, Professor and Head of Aerospace Engineering at
The Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pennsylvania,
