Description:
The authors of this book are the Figures of Merit -- the scientists, engineers, technicians, secretaries, test pilots, managers, visionaries, and leaders who built a unique interagency collaboration under the Army-NASA Joint Agreement at Ames Research Center and ushered in a new age of rotary-wing technology. The U.S. Army Aeronautical Research Laboratory (AARL) was formed in 1965 to strengthen the Army's capabilities in aviation R&D, and the Army-NASA collaboration at Ames was intended to benefit both agencies by sharing personnel and facilities for research in areas of common interest in low-speed aviation.
