Conference ind Shear Detection an Third Combined Manufacturers’ and Technologists’ Conference Compiled by Dan D. Vieroy and Roland L. Bowles NASA Langley Research Center Hampton, Virginia Herbert Schlickenmaier Federal Aviation Administration Washington, D.C. Proceedings of a conference sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration and held in Harnpton, Virginia October 16-18. 1990 January 1991 National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center Hampton, Virginia 23665-5225 FOREWORD The Third Combined Manufacturers' and Technologists' Conference was hosted jointly by NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in Hampton, Virginia on October 16-18, 1990. The meeting was co-chaired by Dr. Roland Bowles of LaRC and Herbert Schlickenmaier of the FAA. Dan Vicroy of LaRC served as the Technical Program Chairperson and Carol Lightner of the Bionetics Corporation was the Administrative Chairperson. The purpose of the meeting was to transfer significant ongoing results of the NASAFAA joint Airborne Wind Shear Program to the technical industry and to pose problems of current concern to the combined group. It also provided a forum for manufacturers to review forward-look technology concepts and for technologists to gain an understanding of the problems encountered by the manufacturers during the development of airborne equipment and the FAA certification requirements. The present document has been compiled to record the essence of the technology updates and discussions which followed each. Updates are represented here through the unedited duplication of the vugraphs, which were generously provided by the respective speakers. When time was available questions were taken form the floor; if time was not available questions were requested in writing. The questions and answers are included at the end of each presentation. A general question and answer session was conducted at the end of each day and is included at the end of report along with closing remarks. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Part 1" ..............................................................................................................
