Abstract 
A team led by Lockheed Martin recently won the contract to develop the F‐35 Joint Strike Fighter, a single airplane that will be built in three different variants. The Air Force variant is a supersonic strike fighter designed to operate from conventional runways. The Navy variant will launch and recover from aircraft carriers, while the Marine Corps variant will make vertical takeoffs and landings. The key to developing this family of aircraft is a new dual cycle propulsion system, which can be switched from a turbofan cycle to a turbo shaft cycle to increase thrust for vertical takeoff and landing. This propulsion system enabled the X‐35 to become the first aircraft in history to fly at supersonic speeds, hover, and land vertically. The development team won the Collier Trophy, that recognizes "the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America demonstrated during the preceding year," for this accomplishment. This presentation will describe the Joint Strike Fighter Competition and the development of this innovative engine, showing how a novel idea can grow into a new aircraft program.

Biography
Dr. Paul Bevilaqua has spent much of his career developing Vertical Take Off and Landing aircraft. He joined Lockheed Martin as Chief Aeronautical Scientist of the Lockheed Advanced Aeronautics Company, and became Chief Engineer of Advanced Development Projects in the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works. During this time, he played a leading role in creating the Joint Strike Fighter Program. He invented the Lift Fan Propulsion System that made it possible to build a stealthy, supersonic VTOL aircraft , and led the engineering team that demonstrated the feasibility of building variants of this aircraft for the Air Force, Marines, and Royal Navy. Prior to joining Lockheed Martin, he was Manager of Advanced Programs at Rockwell International's Navy aircraft plant. He began his career as a Captain in the U.S. Air Force and Deputy Director of the Energy Conversion Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. He has a BS in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Notre Dame, and MS and PhD degrees in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Purdue University. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and he is the recipient of a USAF Scientific Achievement Award, AIAA and SAE Aircraft Design Awards, AIAA and AHS VSTOL Awards, and Lockheed Martin AeroStar and Nova Awards.

Mentor Bio:
Jim Clausing: Jim has over 25 years experience in the IT field (including system administration and security for most of that time). He has done research in parallel processing and distributed systems. For the last 12 years, he has focused primarily on network security including server hardening (primarily Unix/Linux), intrusion detection (host-and network-based), firewalls, perimeter defense, incident response, forensics and malware analysis. He holds the GIAC GCIA Gold, GCFA Gold, GREM Gold, GCIH, GCFW, GSIP, and GSOC, the CISSP, and Checkpoint's CCSA (now expired). He serves on the GIAC Advisory Board and the GIAC Board of Directors. In addition, Jim is a volunteer incident handler for the Internet Storm Center (isc.sans.org) and was a coauthor for the SANS Press book Securing Solaris 8 & 9 Using the Center for Internet Security Benchmark. He enjoys cycling and is an instrument-rated private pilot.

Jim has mentored the Security 502, 503, and 508 courses. In addition, he has taught numerous SANS Stay Sharp/STAR classes, the Security 601 Reverse-Engineering Malware, and Management 414 (SANS+S CISSP training) and is excited to bring Security 503, the SANS intrusion detection cours back to central Ohio.

Jim shares this about GIAC certifications and SANS Mentoring, "I've learned a lot from SANS courses, and the certifications are tangible proof of what I've learned. Plus, I've always found that I learn at least as much from attempting the cert as I do from the classes because the SANS/GIAC certs are the most demanding out there. I've gotten a lot out of my SANS certifications and this is an opportunity to give something back".

This is the February meeting of the IEEE Columbus Executive Committee. All are welcome to attend. This month's meeting will be held at DeVry University Columbus. The agenda is attached below.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Ohio University student branch has resurrected the formerly famous IEEE Winter Banquet! The banquet will be hosted in the rotunda of Walter Hall on Tuesday, March 9th from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.

Charles Alexander, author of our infamous EE 101 textbook, will deliver a presentation entitled "Engineering in the 21st Century"; William Timmons, a successful engineer and entrepreneur, will give a talk on "Engineering Entrepreneurship". In addition, awards for "Student Choice" EE and CS professors will be handed out during the event. These awards are given based on a student poll.

A wholesome dinner (more than your money's worth) provided by Baker catering will be served during the event. Door prizes will be awarded at random. Suggested dress is business casual. Tickets, $6 for students and $8 for faculty, will be on sale Friday afternoons near or in the ARC atrium; alternative ways to buy tickets will be in place soon. Please contact August Engstrom at AE25...@ohio.edu for up-to-date information on ways to purchase tickets. These tickets MUST be purchased in advance. For other questions, contact the event coordinator and fearless leader Sonja Abbey at SA11...@ohio.edu.
