  1. A Technology Partnership for the New Millennium Presented to National Association of State Aviation Officials September 20, 1999 by Spence M. Armstrong Associate Administrator, Aero-Space Technology Enterprise http://www.aero-space.nasa.gov

  2. The NASA That’s Familiar...

  3. The NASA You May Not Know...

  4. Our 25-Year Vision Three Pillars / Ten Goals Global Civil Aviation Reduce Cost of Air Travel by 50% Increase System Throughput, 3x Reduce Accident Rates, 10x Reduce Emissions, 5x Reduce Noise, 4x Revolutionary Technology Leaps Reduce Trans-oceanic Travel time by 50% Invigorate GA 20K units Annually Cut Development Cycle Time in Half Advanced Space Transportation Reduce Launch Cost to LEO, 100x by 2020 Reduce In-Space Transport cost, 10x by 2022

  5. Partnerships Safety Throughput Noise Reduction Emissions Reduction General Aviation

  6. 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Technology Transition to Partners Required TRL Technology in operation or in the marketplace System Implementation System/Subsystem Evaluation Technology Development & Demonstration Transition of technology to partners for development Research to Prove Feasibility Normal range of NASA investment Basic Technology Research

  7. Challenges to Air Transportation

  8. NASA Technology Contributions In Service Today • Powered-Lift System • Winglets & Supercritical Wing • Composite Materials • Flight Controls & Displays/ Digital Fly-by Wire • Energy-Efficient Engines • Computational Analysis Tools & Testing Facilities • Glass Cockpit • Composite Materials • Digital Fly-by-Wire Control System • Reconfigurable Digital Data System • Energy-Efficient, Reduced Noise & Emissions Engines • Computational Analysis Tools & Testing Facilities

  9. Current Enabling Technology Development Research and technology in today’s labs, working to enhance safety and improve throughput Developing a virtual window… Digital databases and highways in the sky… Sensors seeing through fog…

  10. Aircraft Rotorcraft Future Enabling Technology Development Integrated Vehicle Health Monitoring (IVHM) Continuum NowFuture Monitoring Management Reporting Reacting Diagnosis Prognosis Sensors Intelligent Sensing Human Control Distributed Control Autonomous Vehicle Components System Planetary/ Deep Space RLV STS ISS

  11. Summary Federal research and technology is an important contributor to U.S. transportation and the economy We want to validate research and technology through closer partnerships with all facets of the aviation community Concept for a 40-passenger Tiltrotor airliner We need your input and your help
