Air seminar is underway
About 50 experts from a dozen aircraft builders, the Air Force, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will attend a KU seminar this week on "Elastic Airplane Stability, Control and Response."
The highly technical program will deal with design problems for large, fast planes such as the
B-52, Boeing 747, and Lockheed C-5.
Jan Roskam, associate professor of aerospace engineering, organized the seminar.
"Large airplanes must have
RESPONSE TO the seminar indicates the subject is timely and popular among aircraft specialists, Roskam said.
Dana Stevens dies after lingering illness
Funeral services for Dana W. Stevens, 48, coordinator of placement services and assistant director of the Office of Student Financial Aid, were held here Saturday. He died June 5 after a lingering illness.
HE LATER directed the Business Placement Bureau and in 1964 was named assistant director of the Office of Student Financial Aid and was given the title and duties of placement coordinator three years ago.
Mr. Stevens, a native of Smith Center, came to KU in 1958 as an instructor of communications in the School of Business. He had previously been an instructor of English and the news director in the public relations office at Wichita State University.
MR. STEVENS wrote a monthly column on circus history for Hobbies Magazine. The articles, which have appeared since 1952, were based on Mr. Stevens' experiences with circuses. He traveled with the Al G. Kelly-Miller Bros. Circus as a musician, clown and public relations agent in the years prior to World War II. During the war, he served four and one half years in the Pacific theater.
structures that are elastic, just as ground features like bridges and skyscrapers are designed for movement. Aircraft must have much more elasticity," he explained.
"But this elasticity results in in-flight motions that can induce discomfort to those aboard and fatigue of the metal in the plane.
"THE TECHNICAL problem is to obtain the needed elasticity and at the same time minimize the discomfort and metal fatigue." Roskam explained.
Among the plane makers sending technical personnel to the seminar are Grumman, McDonnell, Bell, Beech, Cessna, Lear, Ferry, Ryan, General Dynamics, Chance-Vought, and Boeing as well as airlines and universities.
