Richard Harbert Smith (born January 15, 1894, in Dillsboro, Indiana, USA – after 1951) was a professor and researcher of aeronautical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), from 1929 to 1945.〔(Douglas, D.G. Mini-Biography on Prof. Richard Harbert Smith obtained from MIT Archives, sent by e-mail on Dec 23, 2008. Published under MIT Museum authorization on the wiki of the ITA Alumni on Jan 13, 2009. )〕
His academic education was at the Moores Hill College (BS, 1915), Indiana (today, University of Evansville);〔(University of Evansville History. )〕 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (SB, 1918), Cambridge (Greater Boston), Massachusetts; and the Johns Hopkins University (MA,〔(Smith R.

After World War I, Prof. Smith worked as an assistant at the United States Naval Research Laboratory.〔(Zahm, A F; Smith, R H; Hill, G C.

(available in pdf on NASA Technical Reports Server, on May 26, 2010). )〕 In 1929, he was an associate physicist at the Navy's laboratory when he was hired by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an associate professor of aeronautical engineering, being promoted to full professor in 1931.
For many years, he was Dr. Jerome Clarke Hunsaker's assistant administrator for aeronautical engineering at MIT.〔(The Blue book of American aviation: who's who in the industry. Aviation Statistics Institute of America. 1942. (Google Books search result) )〕
During the World War II period, Prof. Smith coordinated the MIT Civilian Pilot Training Program〔("''Flight training suspended here. War order is first to effect institute; ban is temporary''". The Tech, Vol LXI, No. 50, pg 01/04, Dec 9, 1941. MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts. )〕〔("''Flight training nears completion. Trainees next term must pledge service, pass rigid physical''". The Tech, Vol LXI, No. 59, pg 04/04, Jan 20, 1942. MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts. )〕 and was also instructor for several classes of female engineering trainees for the Curtiss company.
In 1945, he left MIT to go to Brazil, hired by the Brazilian government, in a venture led by Casimiro Montenegro Filho, then lieutenant-colonel of the Brazilian Air Force, to establish an institute of aeronautics,〔(Smith Plan (ITA/CTA). Site of ''FCMF - Fundação Casimiro Montenegro Filho'' (Casimiro Montenegro Filho Foundation). )〕 the ''Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica'' (Aeronautical Technology Institute), of which he became the first rector.〔(ITA Rectors Gallery (portuguese). Site of the ''Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA)''. )〕〔(Rectors and vice-rectors of ITA (portuguese). Site of the ''Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA)''. )〕 This was an outstanding contribution to the scientific and technological education in Brazil.
