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.

Prior to the launch of the NAA, Charles Clarke, the then Secretary of State for Education and Skills stated that the separation of these two roles, made possible by the creation of the new agency, would decrease what was regarded by the government as conflicting responsibilities.

In order for a Flight Simulation Training Device ( FSTD ) to be used for flight crew training or checking, it must be evaluated by the local National Aviation Authority ( NAA ), such as the Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) in the United States.

General Motors Corporation took a controlling interest in NAA and merged it with its General Aviation division in 1933, but retaining the name North American Aviation.

The company was related to North American Aviation ( NAA ) for most of its history.

The United States portion of the contest is sponsored by the National Aeronautic Association ( NAA ) in partnership with the National Association of State Aviation Officials ( NASAO ) and supported by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University ( ERAU ), National Coalition for Aviation Education ( NCAE ) and the Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ).

The NAA Luncheon Program is directed by the NAA National Aviation Club Committee.

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.

NAA merged with Rockwell International in 1967, which was then bought by Boeing in December 1996.

In 1967, NAA and Rocketdyne merged with the Rockwell Corporation to form North American Rockwell, later part of Rockwell International.

In 1905, the NAA joined Germany, Spain, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Italy, Switzerland, and France to create an international aviation organization -- Fédération Aéronautique Internationale -- with the goal of fostering aeronautical activities worldwide.

The NAA encourages and supports the development and growth of the sport of aviation in the United States and does so primarily through its relationship with eight Air Sport Organizations ( ASOs ) based in the country.

The NAA Luncheon Program brings together leaders in the aviation and aerospace industry with professionals from around the Metropolitan Washington, DC region.

NAA did retain ownership of Eastern Air Lines until 1938.
