Subject: AFDC 2018 Fall Meeting (St. Louis, MO)
& First Call for Presentations
Dear Members & Guests…
The venue for our Fall meeting has been set by our host
Boeing. We will convene 4-5 October 2018 at Boeing – St. Louis in
Building 100, which, I’m sure, many of you are quite familiar. Within a
few days, I’ll be sending you a list of local hotels provided for us by Brad
Sexton, who’s graciously coordinating this meeting. We’ve also scoured
other organization’s calendars: we see no conflicts.
Please find the reservation form attached (below). Return
to me (ralph.tate@lmco.com)
and Brad (Bradley.w.sexton@boeing.com).
Please note that the reservation form is a little more extensive than usual,
because our host does have ‘badging’ requirements for visitors. If you’re
attending, the form must be fully completed.
We are planning an off-site dinner, whose details remain
pending. It won’t just be good grub and lots of it, but the area has an
historic charm for baseball aficionados.
So, if you’ve a burning topic to discuss or some ideas to
bounce off others or just polish up a presentation for peer review, we hope
then to “See You in St. Louis”.

& 3rd Call for Presentations
Dear Members & Guests…
We’re one month out from our Fall meeting 4-5 October
2018 at Boeing – St. Louis in Building 100. You will find and area map
and hotel map enclosed (below).
Please also find the reservation form attached (below).
Return to me (ralph.tate@lmco.com)

because our host does have ‘badging’ requirements for visitors. If you’re

We are planning an off-site dinner, and, perhaps, a tour,
whose details yet remain pending.
So, if you’ve a burning topic to discuss or some ideas to
bounce off others or just polish up a presentation for peer review, we hope
then to “See You in St. Louis”. We are a mite skosh shy of presentations
and have ample slots and time available for discussion, and, besides, I’d
really not like anyone to see how my karaoke skills have atrophied.
P/S – I’ve not Ken Griffins current E-mail address, since
he retired from SWRI. If you know it, please forward a copy of this
meeting notice to him and the address to me. Thank you very much.

several requests for a Panel Discussion on Whirl Flutter. Also, a request for a
discussion on ‘hump’ modes: how they change with configuration,
stability/instability, tool limitations and case studies of remedy or
pathological behavior. Finally, I’ve one additional request for more
discussion on NL LCO’s.

Subject: AFDC 2018 Fall Meeting (Boeing - St. Louis): Agenda and Last Call for Presentations
Dear Members & Guests
We're less than one (1) week from our meeting 4-5 Oct 2018 at Boeing-St. Louis, Bldg. 100. In addition to the previously
sent maps, a provisional agenda is attached (below).
So, we've room for additional presentations if you're so inclined; please advise quickly should you desire to present.
I've included two (2) panel discussions: one for whirl flutter and miscellaneous effects, another for NL LCOs; this by popular
acclamation.
Presenters, I'd like you to scan the agenda that I've cited you correctly and, should travel arrangements interfere, tell
me whether your time period is acceptable. Also, I'd like you to send an electronic copy of your presentation to Brad Sexton,
so we can load it to the audio/visual system. Also, send a copy to our archivist Jeremy Carter (jeremy.a.carter@lmco.com).
See you soon.
Regards,
Ralph.

Dear Members & Guests:
Well, the 2018 meeting concluded. Attendance on the first day varied between 38 to 40; the second, 32 to 34. The Boeing
facilities in Bldg. 100 were awesome, and the plant tour very informative. The Boeing museum being between our two venues
offered an excellent perspective on aerospace development over the past 100+ years.
I've included the final agenda for your review (download below). We extended past the time we could have the second panel
discussion. The Council receive two (2) excellent presentation from Gayl Miller and William Norby on Boeing's global technology
thrusts, which, frankly, I thought worth the trip all by themselves. Everything seems to have jelled into an outstanding
meeting.
So . . . drum roll please . . .our Spring 2019 meeting will be held at Virginia Tech with Dr. Rakesh Kapania as our host.
He and I'll work out details in next few weeks. So, start to lay in your plans to attend.
Our intent is to return to a venue in American West in Fall 2019.
I look forward to seeing y'all again soon.
Regards,
Ralph.

Just thought that AFDC would be interested in this development with the X-56 aircraft.
As soon as videos or data snippets are available, will share with group.

I am extremely excited for the progress the team has made.
