The U.S. Army Aeronautical Research Laboratory (AARL) was formed in 1965 to strengthen the Army's capabilities in aviation R&D, and the Army-NASA collaboration at Ames was intended to benefit both agencies by sharing personnel and facilities for research in areas of common interest in low-speed aviation. 000899901 61020 $$aAmes Research Center$$xHistory. 000899901 61020 $$aArmy Aeronautical Research Laboratory (U.S.)$$xHistory. 000899901 650_0 $$aInteragency coordination$$zUnited States$$vCase studies. 000899901 650_0 $$aRotors (Helicopters)$$xResearch$$zUnited States. 000899901 650_0 $$aMilitary helicopters$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000899901 650_0 $$aAerodynamics. 000899901 7001_ $$aOrmiston, Robert A.,$$eeditor. 000899901 7001_ $$aStatler, Irving C.,$$d1923-$$eeditor. 000899901 830_0 $$aNASA SP (Series) ;$$v2018-3713. 000899901 85200 $$bgen$$hTL714$$i.F54$$i2018 000899901 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:899901$$pGLOBAL_SET 000899901 980__ $$aBIB 000899901 980__ $$aBOOK
