The KU branch of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is competing for one of 28 AIAA awards to be presented this year.
Aeronautics Awards Available to Students
Funds for the awards will come from a Student Competition Award of $1,500 presented to the AIAA national office by the Bendix Corporation.
Such projects as KU's ground effects machine (GEM III) work, and construction of a wind tunnel for university laboratory use, also a KU AIAA project, have been listed by the national office as possible bases for earning the awards.
The awards are designed to provide young engineers with opportunities to function as a team in college, and to prepare them for future professional assignments.
This is the first in a series of four annual $1,500 awards the Bendix Corporation has pledged to the AIAA.

Capt. Robert L. J. Long, a native of Kansas City, Mo., will command the SSNB Pulaski after her launching next February.

WITH THE NEW source of power and atmosphere-control devices, the nuclear subs are "true submersibles" with unlimited endurance, Capt. Long said.
