Jerome C. Hunsaker was a towering figure in American aeronautical engineering, heading MIT's department and chairing NACA (the predecessor to NASA) for fifteen years. In MJ-12 documents he appears as the committee member responsible for aeronautical analysis of recovered craft. His unrivaled expertise in aircraft design and his institutional leadership of the nation's primary aeronautics research body made him the logical choice for evaluating the flight characteristics and structural engineering of any anomalous aerospace vehicles.
