Helmet, Aviator, Sally K. Ride

3 pp

This aviator helmet belonged to Dr. Sally K. Ride, who became the first American woman in space when she flew on the STS-7 shuttle mission in 1983. As a scientist astronaut rather than a pilot, Ride trained for flight in the backseat of a Northrop T-38 training jet, learning navigation and communication procedures. This is one of the helmets she wore on those flights. She so enjoyed the experience

High-Gain Antenna Dish, Lunar Orbiter, Engineering Mock-up

1 pp

Managed by Langley Research Center, NASA eventually sent five Lunar Orbiters to the Moon on Atlas-Agena rockets in 1966-1967. While the returns from these spacecraft interested scientists in and of themselves, they were critical to Apollo. NASA launched the five Lunar Orbiter satellites between 10 August 1966 and 1 August 1967, all successfully achieving their objectives. In total, they mapped rou

Hiller Model 1031-A-1 Flying Platform

8 pp

The Model 1031-A could not operate out of ground effect because of its limited thrust. Hiller engineers determined that loading on the fixed-pitch rotors' was too high and that the only solution was to use longer rotor blades, which necessitated construction of a larger platform, designated the Model 1031-A-1. By this time, the Department of the Army, dissatisfied with De Lackner's progress, had b

Hiller XH-44 Hiller-Copter

2 pp

Hiller's interest in helicopters began at the age of sixteen in 1941. He was already running a successful enterprise that manufactured gas-powered model racecars. When the United States entered World War Two, Hiller converted his production line to C-47 window frames. By 1942, he had progressed far enough on his helicopter designs to form a new company, Hiller Aircraft, to begin construction on wh

Hiller XHOE-1 Hornet

3 pp

Hiller began to develop his vision for giant flying cranes, utilizing tip-mounted ramjets or jet turbines, by developing a simple version that could be sold as an affordable aircraft for the masses that was small, lightweight, easy to fly and maintain, transportable, and above all else, cheap. In 1948, Hiller began work on the HJ-1 Hornet single-seat sport helicopter. The most difficult challenge

Huff-Daland Duster

5 pp

Dr. B.R. Coad, a government entomologist, conceived the idea that dusting the cotton industry's nemesis, the boll weevil, would be more efficient if it could be done from the air rather than from mule-drawn wagons. Initial trials with Curtiss Jenny biplanes convinced him that researchers were on the right track, but also highlighted the need for an aircraft specially designed for crop dusting. The

Hughes H-1 Racer

13 pp

The Hughes H-1 racer, designed by Howard Hughes and Richard Palmer and built by Glenn Odekirk, was developed to be the fastest landplane in the world. On September 13, 1935, Hughes achieved this design goal by flying the H-1 to a new world speed record of 567 kilometers (352 miles) per hour at Santa Ana, California. Also known as the Hughes 1B, the H-1 was designed with two sets of wings: a short
