An obituary for AIAA fellow, Ivan Yates, who died on Aug 2, 2015 is presented. Yates studied Mechanical Engineering at Liverpool University before joining the English Electric Company as an apprentice. While at English Electric he worked on research on emerging new problems posed by high-speed flutter and vibration during high-speed flight.
