The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is the professional society for the field of aerospace engineering. The AIAA was founded in 1963 from the merger of two earlier societies: the ''American Rocket Society'' (ARS), founded in 1930 as the ''American Interplanetary Society'' (AIS), and the ''Institute of the Aerospace Sciences'' (IAS), founded in 1932 as the ''Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences''. AIAA is the U.S. representative on the International Astronautical Federation and the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences. , AIAA has more than 30,000 members. Despite its name, the society has members among aerospace professionals worldwide, although the majority are American and/or live in the United States. Some AIAA seminars and conventions are restricted to U.S. citizens, due to security issues. AIAA is split into seven regions: North-East, South-East, Central, South-Central, Mid-West, West, and International. The regions are subdivided into Sections, usually based in major cities. Universities with programs in aerospace engineering or related fields may form Student Branches, which are overseen and in part funded by their parent Section. Another aspect of AIAA is their standards writing activities. In the past, AIAA standards for aeronautics have been incorporated into broader standards and public laws. These standards help transition innovative aeronautical ideas to everyday usage. ==Journals== As a major activity AIAA currently publishes several technical journals. The ''AIAA Journal'' is published on a monthly basis and serves as the flagship journal of the society. The other journals are published bi-monthly and have more specialized topics:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=167 )〕 * Journal of Aerospace Information Systems (formerly Journal of Aerospace Computing, Information, and Communication) * Journal of Aircraft * Journal of Energy (published from 1977 to 1983) * Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics * Journal of Hydronautics (published from 1967 to 1980) * Journal of Propulsion and Power * Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets * Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer AIAA's flagship magazine, ''Aerospace America'' is distributed monthly to all members, and is published online in digital format. AIAA also produces several series of technical books ranging from education to progress in advanced research topics. One of the other important contributions of these Journals is review and survey papers by experts. Review and survey papers are written by those who have conducted extensive research for decades. Each morning, AIAA distributes a comprehensive aerospace industry news briefing, called the AIAA Daily Launch, to its membership. 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「American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
