Abstract
Henning Von Gierke's life of service followed in the footsteps of his family legacy. This presentation will focus on Henning's 50 years of research at the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio and the recollections of Henning gathered from 20+ hours of video interviews. Henning's life and his research were dedicated to helping mankind. Beginning with his dissertation on noise produced by jet flow and continuing with the accomplishments of his division at the Air Force Research Laboratory his contributions to acoustics were outstanding. His contributions include the Air Force hearing conservation program, the EPA levels document, the BENOX report, the development of Bionics in the 1960's, car airbag research in the 60's, testing of the original 7 US astronauts, human limits of survival for impact, human limits of performance in vibration, pioneering work in hearing protector modeling, bone conduction, and microwave hearing, speech communication, as well as his extensive work in American National Standards and international standards. His contributions have in one way or another affected nearly everyone. He was a great researcher and a great mentor. He will be missed by his colleagues at the Air Force Research Laboratory and around the world.
