NASA/DoD Aerospace Knowledge Diffusion Research Project. Report Number 1: Part 1. Technical Communications in Aerospace: Results of Phase 1 Pilot Study.

摘要

International industrial alliances will result in a more rapid diffusion of technology, increasing the pressure on the U.S. aerospace industry to push forward with new technological developments. According to Mowery (1985), the U.S. commercial aircraft industry is unique among manufacturing industries in that a government research organization, the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA), which became the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) 1958, has for many years conducted and funded research on airframe and propulsion technologies. In its wind tunnels and laboratories, the NACA conducted both basic and applied research, guided by committees made up of representatives of industry, the military services, and university aeronautical engineers and scientists.
