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
seeks research in several new topic areas for the Next Generation Air
Transportation System Air Traffic Management Airspace Project and the
Subsonic Fixed Wing Project.
The primary goal of the Airspace Systems Program is to develop
revolutionary concepts, capabilities and technologies that will
enable significant increases in the capacity, efficiency and
flexibility of our National Airspace System. The project will explore
and develop concepts and provide research data to define and assess
the allocation of ground and air automation concepts and technologies
necessary for the Next Generation Air Transportation System.
A major focus of the Subsonic Fixed Wing project is to develop
improved prediction methods and technologies for future subsonic
aircraft with lower noise, lower emissions and higher performance.
NASA is interested in improving both conventional and unconventional
configurations to meet these goals. The long-term strategy includes
providing novel test methods and validated prediction tools that can
be used to improve system trades for advanced concepts capable of
meeting longer-term noise, emissions and performance targets. One of
the focus areas of the current announcement is the development of
research ideas that may enable revolutionary improvements such as
those promised by a wide range of hybrid wing body configurations.
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 for this and additional research
topics in other project areas are available in the announcement at:
