aviation-related charities receive grants during 2010. All of those that were nominated are already doing "good" for aviation. We want to come along side to help build awareness and increase funding opportunities. And, we want to mobilize the pilot community to learn more about them and get involved.

Imagine sitting in your living room when suddenly you find yourself in the Presidential Gallery of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, standing on the steps of the Sacred Cow, the aircraft on which President Harry Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947 creating the U.S. Air Force. Glancing around you also see John F. Kennedy's Air Force One, the same aircraft used to bring his body back to Washington D.C. in 1963.

Small electric aircraft could solve the transportation problems of the near future by providing quick hops between neighborhood airports, according to a presentation at the Future of Electric Vehicles conference held earlier this month in San Jose, Calif. The "pocket" airports could support 120 operations per hour, limited to small air-taxi vehicles only, while occupying only two acres in urban areas

The Vibro-Wind Research Group, led by Frank Moon, the Joseph Ford Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, is working on an efficient, low-cost method of converting vibrations from wind energy to electricity. Much the way solar panels now grace many rooftops, the researchers envision buildings outfitted with vibro-wind panels, which would store the energy they convert from even the gentlest of breezes.
