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. In 1954, he was placed in charge of all flutter and vibration work, and three years later he was responsible for the aerodynamic work on a project that became the basis for the TSR2 aircraft.
