Celebrating a Century of Aerospace Innovation Since the Founding of the NACA
In short: This address marks the hundredth anniversary of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. It highlights a 2015 symposium held by the Smithsonian and NASA to reflect on a century of technical progress in flight research and development.
In March 2015, the National Air and Space Museum joined forces with the NASA History Program Office to host a commemorative event. Dr. John D. Anderson, Jr., a curator at the Smithsonian, delivered the welcoming remarks on the second day of the proceedings.
The symposium served to honor the legacy of the NACA, which was established one hundred years prior. The event focused on the evolution of aerospace engineering and the significant milestones achieved in the field since the organization's inception.
