NASA is the nation's leading government organization for aeronautical
research. Our world-class capability is built on a tradition of
expertise in aeronautical engineering and its core research areas,
including aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, materials and structures,
propulsion, dynamics and control, sensor and actuator technologies,
advanced computational and mathematical techniques, and experimental
measurement techniques.
Beginning with theoretical insight, augmented by research and testing in
the laboratory and in flight, NASA scientists and engineers develop and
use rich databases of information, unique analytical tools, and their
singular expertise to close the gap between empirical and abstract
knowledge. The results? Better design tools and technologies for
improving vehicle and air system safety and performance.
* Special Announcement *
+ NASA Aeronautics Scholarship Program
The NASA Aeronautics Scholarship Program for graduate and undergraduate
students announces that the application period for this year is now
CLOSED. Please visit the site for
information on the application process.
The program expects to award annually 20, two-year scholarships plus
summer internships to undergraduate students; and five, two- or
three-year scholarships plus summer internships to graduate students.
Upcoming Events
+ May 22, 2008: Technical Seminar: "Electron Beam Forming Fabrication" New Date!
Washington, DC
This seminar is presented by Ms. Karen Taminger of NASA's Langley Research Center.
+ October 7-9, 2008: Fundamental Aeronautics Program Annual Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia
Save the date now for this important event that will strengthen
partnerships and share research results as the aeronautics community
works toward a common national goal: providing air vehicles capable of
enabling the Next Generation Air Transportation System.
Recent Events
+ April 8, 2008: Technical Seminar: "Aviation and the Environment: Managing the Challenge of Growth"
Washington, DC
Aircraft noise and local air quality concerns are strong constraints on
airspace system capacity. These constraints have prompted cancellation,
delays, and down-scaling of plans to expand airport capacity over the
past decades. Looking forward, we see more environmental challenges to
capacity expansion, including climate change issues. This briefing by
Carl Burleson of the FAA will detail the potential of the Next
Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) plan to produce
substantial environmental gains.
+ March 18-20, 2008: Airspace Systems Program Technical Interchange Meeting Registration Now Closed
Austin, Texas
This event will be a three-day discussion of several key long-term research issues for the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen).
