First there was the National Advisory Council on Aeronautics, or NACA. It was created in 1915 to do aeronautical research, and a lot of its research is still used; the wings on all airplanes are designed as NACA airfoils. NACA also created the cowling used on every radial-engined airplane made since 1927. When spaceflight became possible, NACA was expanded to do research into civilian applications of space, and NACA became NASA.
