PRES HENNE NAMED AIAA'S 2001 HAP ARNOLD RECIPIENT

The principal society of the aerospace engineer and scientist has selected a Gulfstream leader for national recognition. Pres Henne, Senior Vice President, Programs, has been selected as the winner of this year's American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Hap Arnold Award for excellence in aeronautical program management.

The prestigious award is presented each year to an individual for outstanding contribution in the management of a significant aeronautical program or project.

The award is named after "Hap" Arnold, Commanding General of the Army Air Force during World War II
and later General of the Air Force. AIAA President Dennis Picard will present the award to Henne at the organization's Aircraft Technology, Integration and Operations Forum to be held on Oct. 16-18 in Los Angeles. With more than 31,000 members, AIAA is the world's largest professional society devoted to the progress of engineers and science in aviation, space and defense.
