Edmund W Pendleton is an American research and development engineer, commercial pilot, and flight instructor best known for his work on the X-53 flight research program. He joined the United States Air Force Research Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio in 1980. While employed there, he conducted wind tunnel research〔Hertz, T. and Pendleton, E., "The Effect of Stores Carriage on Body-Freedom Flutter,",Proceedings of the AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel Symposium on Store-Airframe Aerodynamics Fall 1985, Athens, Greece, October 1985.〕〔Pendleton, E., Lee, M., and Wasserman, L., "A Low Speed Flexible Model Simulating an F-16 Derivative Wing Design," WRDC TR-90-3083, Dayton, Ohio, January 1990.〕〔Pendleton, E., Moster, G., and Keller, D., "Transonic Aeroelastic Models of Hypersonic Highly Swept Lifting Surfaces," Journal of Aircraft, Volume 32, Number 6, November–December 1995.〕 leading up to the Grumman X-29, the X-30 National Aerospace Plane, and the X-53 aircraft programs. He was one of the original developers of the active aeroelastic wing concept,〔Pendleton, E., Lee, M., and Wasserman, L., "A Low Speed Flexible Model Simulating an F-16 Derivative Wing Design," WRDC TR-90-3083, Dayton, Ohio, January 1990.〕〔Miller, G., "Active Flexible Wing Technology," WRDC TR-87-3096, Los Angeles, California, February 1988.〕 a novel engineering design approach that utilized wing aeroelastic twist to control aircraft at high speeds. He served as a program manager and chief engineer of the ''X-53'' Active Aeroelastic Wing flight research program from 1992 through 2005.〔Pendleton, E., Bessette, D., Field P., Miller, G., and Griffin, K., "Active Aeroelastic Wing Flight Research Program: Technical Program & Model Analytical Development ," Journal of Aircraft, Volume 37, Number 4, July–August, 2000.〕〔Pendleton, E., "Active Aeroelastic Wing,” AFRL Technology Horizons, Selected Science and Technology Articles, Vol. 1, No. 2, June 2000.〕 The Active Aeroelastic Wing project received a NASA "Turning Goals into Reality Award" in 2004.〔http://www.aeronautics.nasa.gov/events/tgir/2004/2004_award_winners.pdf〕 Mr Pendleton was also active in quantifying the effects of aerodynamics on the twin tails of fighter aircraft〔Pettit, C., Brown, D., Banford, M., and Pendleton, E., "Full Scale Wind Tunnel Pressure Measurements of an F/A-18 Tail During Buffet," Journal of Aircraft , Volume 33, Number 6, Pages 1148-1156, December 1996.〕 .〔Moses, R. and Pendleton, E., "A Comparison of Pressure Measurements Between a Full Scale and a 1/6 Scale F/A-18 Twin Tail During Buffet," Proceedings of the AGARD Structures and Materials Panel, Loads and Requirements for Military Aircraft Workshop, Fall 1996, Florence, Italy, September 1996.〕 Ed Pendleton attended grade school in Wayne Township, Ohio.〔Wayne High School Yearbook, 1972, Freshman Class, Wayne Township, Ohio〕 After transferring, he graduated from Beavercreek High School, Xenia Ohio, where he played on the school's basketball and baseball teams from 1972-1975〔Beavercreek High School Yearbook, 1975, Beavercreek, Ohio〕〔Dayton Daily News Sports Section, Dec. 1974.〕 After service in the U.S. army, Ed Pendleton earned his bachelor’s degree in systems engineering from Wright State University in Fairborn, Ohio in 1979 〔Wright State University, Fairborn, Ohio transcript archives〕 and a commercial pilot's licence in 1981.〔https://amsrvs.registry.faa.gov/airmeninquiry/〕 He earned a master’s degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Dayton〔University of Dayton, Ohio transcript archives〕 in Ohio and his flight instructor’s certification in 1984.〔Pilot Logbook Records of Ed Pendleton〕〔https://amsrvs.registry.faa.gov/airmeninquiry/〕 In 1998, Ed graduated from the Defense Systems Management College’s Advanced Program Manager’s Course.〔DSMC transcript records, Ft Belvoir, Virginia〕 In 2003, Ed earned a master’s degree in national security strategy from the National Defense University located in Washington DC.〔D.C.Buck, Col. D., Spacey, Col. W., Pendleton, Mr. E., et al., “Space Industry Study Final Report, Spring 2003," The Industrial College of the Armed Forces, National Defense University, Washington DC, June 2003〕 In 2005, he became involved in efforts to provide technology for an initiative entitled "Operationally Responsive Space". From 2006 through 2011, he has served as a project manager/engineer for an air/spaceframe development effort involving the integration of a low mass fraction, load bearing, cryogenic, composite, linerless fuel and oxidizer tank with lifting surfaces, thermal protection, and condition based maintenance under a Future Responsive Access to Space Technology initiative.〔Pendleton, E., Zweber, J., and Johnson, R.G., “A Technology Readiness Assessment for Affordable, Responsive Hybrid Launch Vehicles,” AFRL-VA-WP-TR-2006-3198, October 2006.〕〔Griffin, K, and Pendleton, E.,” A Hybrid Launch Vehicle Design Concept Based on Recent Industry Studies, A Consensus View,” Paper AIAA 2008-1135, Proceedings of the 46th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, Reno, Nevada, January 7-10, 2008..〕〔Biggs, R, Love, M. and Pendleton, E.

In 2013, Ed became involved with a Defense Advanced Research Agency (DARPA) program / team to develop an experimental reusable space plane / booster called XS-1. The XS-1 program is in its first phase which will develop candidate flight concepts and associated development costs. 〔Sponable, Jess, "Spaceplane Experimental XS-1 New Start Acquisition Plan", DARPA Tactical Technology Office, January 14, 2013.〕 Ed served for ten years on a NATO technical panel for aerospace structures and materials where he coauthored several papers.〔Saff, C., Dumoulin, B, Pendleton, E. et al.,“Qualification and Structural Design Guidelines for Military Unmanned Air Vehicles,” NATO Science and Technology Organization, Paris France, October 31, 2012.〕 Ed Pendleton has been a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Ohio since 1984.〔State of Ohio Board of Engineers and Surveyors Roster〕〔http://www.peps.ohio.gov/Renewal/RenewalRosters.aspx〕 ==Notes== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edmund W.
