NASA ANNOUNCES AERONAUTICS RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES

WASHINGTON - NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate has
amended its NASA Research Announcement to solicit additional research
proposals. The "Research Opportunities in Aeronautics" announcement
solicits research in several new topic areas for the Intelligent
Flight Deck Technology Project, Subsonic Rotary Wing Project and the
Supersonics Project.

The long-term goal of the Intelligent Flight Deck Technology Project
is to advance knowledge by developing tools, methods, principles,
guidelines and technologies for revolutionary adaptive flight deck
systems that improve safety. This includes developing technologies
that mitigate operator-, automation- and environment-induced hazards
for future operational concepts.

The challenge of the Subsonic Rotary Wing Project is to develop
validated physics-based multidisciplinary design and analysis tools
for rotorcraft, integrated with technology development, enabling
rotorcraft with advanced capabilities to fly as designed for any
mission.

The Supersonics Project is a broad-based effort designed to develop
knowledge, capabilities and technologies that support all vehicles
that fly in the supersonic speed regime.

NASA plans to announce additional research topics in other project
areas in the near future. For updates, check NASA's Research
Opportunities Web site at:

NASA expects that educational institutions, nonprofit organizations
and industry engaged in foundational research will be the primary
award recipients for this announcement. Specific evaluation criteria,
deadlines and points of contact are available in the announcement.
