This award recognizes individuals for their outstanding contributions toward the work of the SAE Engineering Meetings Board (EMB) in the planning, development, and dissemination of technical information through technical meetings, conferences, and professional development programs or outstanding contributions to the EMB operations in facilitating or enhancing the interchanges of technical information.

Established in 1979, this award is administered by the EMB and honors the late Forest R. McFarland who was himself an outstanding session organizer, a chairman of the Passenger Car Activity and a member of the EMB. Funding for this award is through a bequest by Mr. McFarland to SAE and consists of a framed certificate presented at the SAE World Congress or an appropriate SAE event.

Willem was the Technical Program Chair for the Wichita Aviation Technology Congress & Exhibition August 19-21, 2008.

Alan Mulally, President and CEO, Ford Motor Company, states his favorite teacher is Dr. Jan Roskam, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas!

Congratulations to The University of Kansas (KU), Lawrence, for taking 1st and 2nd place in the 2008-2009 AIAA Undergraduate Team Engine Design Competition!

DARcorporation Aeronautical Engineer, Matt Brown, was a member of the Second Place Team from KU.

"From a field of 10 teams, the teams from KU placed 1st and 2nd place respectively. The project was to to design a variable cycle, high-bypass turbofan engine based around the performance specs and envelope of the CFM 56-5C2 while improving efficiency and reducing both NOx emissions and noise pollution associated jet engines. This continues a tradition of winning set in place by instructor, Dr. Saeed Farokhi, Prof. of Aerospace Engineering at KU.", Matt Brown, describing the 2nd place winning design project.

DARcorporation is proud to announce the release of Advanced Aircraft Analysis Version 3.2!

AAA Version 3.2 New Features & Enhancements:

• Ability to change number of decimals for each of the 4000+ input and output parameters
• The forward-aft center of gravity (c.g.) module now plots the c.g. envelope with every c.g. combination
• Variation of wing location and effect on stability and control is expanded
• Expanded help system
• Trim diagrams also show center of gravity limits that are not necessarily forward or aft center of gravity
• Z-locations of center of gravity are calculated in forward-aft c.g. module
• Three-views of the full airplane are generated
• Empty weight c.g. points plot now includes airplane sideview if it is defined
• Class II center of gravity plot with c.g. excursion

2009 AirVenture, Oshkosh, WI: July 27 – August 2, 2009

DARcorporation: HANGAR C – BOOTH 3098

As always DARcorporation will be at Oshkosh for the EAA AirVenture and hope you will stop by to say hi.

Willem Anemaat, Balaji Kaushik (pictured) & Ken Po will be demonstrating the newest version of Advanced Aircraft Analysis (AAA) and talking airplanes!

This year DARcorporation added a new Prototype & Fabrication Shop (DARworks) and has been very busy with Wind Energy Projects, in addition to several exciting aircraft projects so there will be a lot to talk about!

Introduction to Aerodynamics, by Gail Craig, is an alternative to simplistic and erroneous popular teachings. While avoiding the mathematical complexity of advanced theory for professional aerodynamicists, the level herein is appropriate for general aviation professionals, flight schools, engineers and as enrichment for students of physics. • Retail: $29.50

Applied Digital Control, by J.R. Leigh, is an essential core text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in digital control, this volume develops theoretical foundations and explains how control systems work in real industrial situations. • Retail: $29.95

Finite Element Method: Basic Technique and Implementation, by Pin Tong & John N. Rossettos, introduces mathematical foundations, developing them coherently and rigorously to reveal the method's broad applications. It emphasizes use of the variational approach, providing appendixes on variational calculus and matrix algebra for a self-contained treatment. • Retail: $19.95

Finite Elements and Approximation, by O.C. Zienkiewicz & K. Morgan, is a powerful tool for the approximate solution of differential equations, the finite element is extensively used in industry and research. This book offers students of engineering and physics a comprehensive view of the principles involved. • Retail: $19.95

The Finite Element Method: Linear Static and Dynamic Finite Element Analysis, by Thomas J.R. Hughes, is directed towards students without in-depth mathematical training. This book cultivates comprehensive skills in linear static and dynamic finite element methodology. • Retail: $29.95

Transonic Wind Tunnel Testing, by Bernhard H. Goethert. explores numerous related areas, including wall interference corrections in conventional wind tunnels, subsonic flow in a variety of wind tunnels, and test results from transonic wind tunnels. • Retail: $24.95

DARcorporation is expanding and looking for experienced Structural, Stability & Control and Aerodynamic Engineers, Composite Fabricators, CAD Drafters, Software Developers and Project Managers.

If you think you have the "Right Stuff" to join our team, we want to hear from you!

DARcorporation is an innovative aeronautical engineering firm with clients all over the world. We work on "cutting-edge" projects, including LSA, VLJ, Experimental, Business Jets, UAV's, VTOL aircraft and wind turbines.

We offer a Competitive Salary, Simple IRA, Health & Dental Insurance.

January 2009: In recognition of professional standing and successful practice, the Officers and Directors of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) declare that Willem A.J. Anemaat has been admitted to the grade of Associate Fellow.

Dr. Anemaat was presented this award at the AIAA Associate Fellows Dinner on Monday, 5 January 2009 at the Orlando Marriott World Center, Orlando, Fla.

To be selected for the grade of Associate Fellow an individual must be an AIAA Senior Member with at least twelve years professional experience in their field, and have been recommended by a minimum of three AIAA members who are already Associate Fellows.
