Dr. Charles E. Hammond (second from right) receives the Howard Hughes Award from (left to right) Fred Smith, Hughes President Jack Real and Joe Mallen. The Hughes Award is presented to recognize outstanding improvement in fundamental helicopter technology. Hammond was honored in recognition of the successful development and flight test of the Higher Harmonic Control (HHC) system by the A VRADCOMI NASA/Hughes team he led. The HHC system demonstrated the feasibility of a concept to reduce the vibration levels in a helicopter's airframe by as much as 80 percent. Hammond was then, serving as Chief of the Aero mechanics Technical Area at the Applied Technology Laboratory (A TL) of A VRADCOM.
