The Collier Trophy is an annual aviation award administered by the U. S. National Aeronautic Association ( NAA ), presented to those who have made " the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America, with respect to improving the performance, efficiency, and safety of air or space vehicles, the value of which has been thoroughly demonstrated by actual use during the preceding year.

The NAA has three distinct responsibilities: The recording and certification of Aviation and Aerospace Records, the administration of Aviation Trophies and Awards, and working with Air Sports Organizations in America on the advancement of their individual sports.

The NAA has certified aviation and aerospace records in the United States since 1905 and its records database counts over 7, 300 record flights to include those of balloons, airships, airplanes, ( landplanes, seaplanes, amphibians, very light jets ,) gliders, helicopters, autogiros, model aircraft, parachutes, human powered aircraft, spacecraft, tilt-wing / tilt-engine aircraft, hang gliders, paragliders, microlights, space models, and UAVs.

Within the United States and its Territories, the NAA has the sole responsibility of administering awards established by the FAI.

NAA has five groups of members: Corporate, Air Sport, Affiliate, Aero Clubs, and Individuals.

To carry out an NAA analysis the specimen is placed into a suitable irradiation facility and bombarded with neutrons.

Activation with epithermal neutrons is known as Epithermal NAA ( ENAA ).

Activation with fast neutrons is termed Fast NAA ( FNAA ).

NAA can detect up to 74 elements depending upon the experimental procedure, with minimum detection limits ranging from 0. 1 to 1x10 < sup > 6 </ sup > ng g < sup >− 1 </ sup > depending on element under investigation.

However, synthetic auxins, especially 1-naphthaleneacetic acid ( NAA ) and indole-3-butyric acid ( IBA ), are also commonly applied to stimulate root growth when taking cuttings of plants or yet for different agricultural application as is the prevention of fruit drop in orchards.

Founded in 1905, it is the oldest national aviation club in the United States and one of the oldest in the world, it serves as the “ Aeroclub of the United States ” and, by its Mission Statement it is "… dedicated to the advancement of the art, sport and science of aviation in the United States .” The NAA is headquartered at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, in Washington, D.
