Kincheloe Award Metadata Usage Not determined Guid http://n2t.net/ark:/65665/nv92e259ea1-1743-4b3b-a3dd-00331fb4073c Data Source National Air and Space Museum Materials Base: Bakelite Materials Sculpture: Silver Dimensions 3-D: 61 × 27.9 × 76.2cm, 59kg (24 × 11 × 30 in., 130lb.) Physical Description Iven C. Kincheloe Award consists of a stylized delta wing aircraft which faces four columns with the Experimental Test Pilot's "X" emblem (a gold "X" on blue enamal oval) attached to the two center columns. The columns and aircraft are mounted on a solid black bakelite base with engraved silver plaques around the sides of the base with the names of each year's winner. The columns represent courage, integrity, knowledge and accomplishment, which help to make up the foundation upon which the Society is built. The symbolic aerospace vehicle points toward the shield of the Society and conveys the thought that aerospace industry is dependent upon the Society to share in the develoment of manned aerospace systems. Summary The Iven C. Kincheloe Award was established in 1958 by the Society of Experimental Test Pilots to recognize outstanding professional accomplishment in the conduct of flight testing. It is awarded annually to a member of the society who has accomplished a significant feat within the year being awarded. The accomplishment must involve actual flight testing conducted by the individual and represent an outstanding contribution to an aerospace flight program while the recipient was acting as a test pilot. Summary The Iven C. Kincheleo Award itself embodies the Society's connection with the aerospace industry and its influence on the development of manned aerospace systems. The columns represent courage, integrity, knowledge and accomplishment, which help to make up the foundation upon which the Society is built.
