From the publisher
AIAA is non-profit 501(c)3 professional organization promoting aerospace. Our purpose is to ignite and celebrate aerospace ingenuity and collaboration, and its importance to our way of life. Our promise is to be your vital lifelong link to the aerospace community and a champion for its achievements. One Remarkable Fact Says It All: Since 1963, members from a single professional society have achieved virtually every milestone in modern American flight. That society is the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. With nearly 30,000 individual members from 91 countries, and 95 corporate members, AIAA is the world’s largest technical society dedicated to the global aerospace profession. Created in 1963 by the merger of the two great aerospace societies of the day, the American Rocket Society (founded in 1930 as the American Interplanetary Society), and the Institute of the Aerospace Sciences (established in 1933 as the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences), AIAA carries forth a proud tradition of more than 80 years of aerospace leadership. The Los Angeles Section is a community of 7000+ Aerospace Professionals, providing services to the communities from Los Angeles and Long Beach to Las Vegas, including San Bernardino and Riverside. Southern California and Las Vegas area has lots of aerospace organizations add activities, and is the center of American aerospace.
