2 Topic 1: 5 Alan Sheppard became the first American in space aboard this spacecraft in 1961. Mercury-Redstone 3 or Freedom 7

3 Topic 1: 10 This aircraft produced by Hughes was one of the largest wood planes ever built, and made one flight in 1947. Hughes H-4 Hercules or Spruce Goose

4 Topic 1: 15 The modern age of aerospace begin in 1799 when this man proposed an aircraft with a fixed wing and a horizontal and vertical tail, defining the modern aircraft. Sir George Cayley

5 Topic 1: 20 Which two pilots were the first to circumnavigate the globe nonstop? Dick Rutan and Jenna Yeager

6 Topic 1: 25 On June 6, 1963, Voshtok 6 carried this cosmonaut, making her the first woman in space. Valentina Tereshkova

7 Topic 2: 5 What mathematical function is used to find the area under a curve? Integration or Integral

8 Topic 2: 10 What theorem states that differentiation and integration are inverse operations? The fundamental theorem of calculus

9 Topic 2: 15 What calculus rule is shown here: if h(x) = f(x) g(x), then h’(x) = f’(x)g(x) + f(x)g’(x) The Product Rule or Leibniz rule

10 Topic 2: 20 (tan(x))’ is: (tan(x))’ = sec2(x) or 1/cos2(x)

11 Topic 2: 25 is:

12 Topic 3: 5 The New River Gorge Bridge (shown here), near Fayetteville, West Virginia, is an example of what type of bridge? Arch Bridge

13 Topic 3: 10 This bridge collapsed on November 7, 1940 due to aeroelastic flutter, which earned it the nickname “Galloping Gertie”. Tacoma-Narrows Bridge

14 Topic 3: 15 The Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in Japan at 12,825 ft is the longest type of what bridge? Suspension Bridge

15 Topic 3: 20 The longest bridge in the world at 540,700 ft is located in which country? China

16 Topic 3: 25 This bridge connecting New York City to Bergen County, New Jersey, is the world's busiest bridge, carrying 102 million vehicles annually. George Washington Bridge

17 Topic 4: 5 This honorary AIAA Fellow received his undergraduate degree from Purdue University, was a test pilot for NACA, and eventually become an astronaut and was one of the twelve men to walk on the moon. Neil Armstrong

18 Topic 4: 10 This former Air Force test pilot won the Ansari X-Prize award in 2004. Burt Ruttan

19 Topic 4: 15 This member was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1932. Amelia Earhart

20 Topic 4: 20 This aircraft designer, best known for his flying wing designs, founded his own aerospace company in the 1930’s. John (Jack) Northrup

21 Topic 4: 25 This Associate Fellow was the “chief astronaut” for NASA during the Gemini and Apollo programs before finally flying on the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. Donald “Deke” Slayton

22 Topic 5: 5 What was the name of the first animal in space? Laika

23 Topic 5: 10 Mimicking structures created by insects, this man-made structure is composed of an array of hexagonal hollow cells that minimizes weight and material costs while maximizing strength. Honeycomb structure

24 Topic 5: 15 Inspired by bird flight, this type of aircraft flies by flapping its wings. Ornithopter

25 Topic 5: 20 Given by NASA astronauts, this award is given for outstanding achievements related to human flight safety or mission success. Silver Snoopy

26 Topic 5: 25 This is a term for a group within an organization a high degree of autonomy that is tasked with working on advanced or secret projects. Skunk Works
