Aeronautics Innovation: NASA's Challenges and Opportunities
- Share to:
NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) supports research and development in advanced airframe, engine, emissions, air safety, and air traffic control technologies. These diverse missions predate the creation of NASA in 1958 and have survived many changes in the industry. They are still recognized as important governmental functions by recent public bodies, such as the Commission on the Future of the Aero- space Industry, and private organizations ranging from the National Acad- emies to the National Institute of Aerospace. Reviews of NASA’s record and research portfolio note a number of impressive accomplishments and in general praise the quality of research performed in advanced materials, propulsion, aerodynamics, aviation safety and emissions, controls systems, human factors, and many other areas. Nev- ertheless, there is ongoing concern about the translation of NASA’s aero- nautics research results into product and systems innovations that improve the air transportation system. This is not surprising in view of the enormous management challenges the program faces, including the following:
