Introduction
The NASA Lewis Research Center is a unique facility with a long and distinguished history of performing research and developing technology in support of NASA's mission and the Nation's needs. Over the past year, Lewis underwent changes that put special emphasis on realigning our activities in space and aeronautics with the Agency's mission. Part of that realignment focuses on transferring our technology and creating opportunities: transforming our cutting-edge technology into solutions that will benefit the whole Nation and making our resources and knowledge more easily available to the private sector. This report is part of the second focus.
Lewis' Research & Technology 1995 report gives a brief, but comprehensive, review of Lewis' technical accomplishments during the past year. It is a testimony to the dedication and competence of all the employees, civil servants and contractors alike, who make up the staff. This report helps us to make others aware of our technical accomplishments and to inspire them to seize the opportunities to expand on their application.
The report is organized so that a broad cross section of the community can readily use it. A short introductory paragraph begins each article and will prove to be an invaluable tool for the layperson. The articles summarize the progress made during the year in various technical areas and portray the technical and administrative support associated with Lewis' technology programs. We hope this information is useful to all. If additional information is desired, readers are encouraged to contact the researchers identified in the articles and to visit Lewis on the World Wide Web.
