A Technology Partnership for the New Millennium

General Aviation

A national challenge for ever-safer accessibility to more destinations is emerging at the threshold to the 21st century. That challenge is driven by the emerging gap between the demand and the supply for safe, convenient, affordable transportation. This demand cannot be satisfied by the planned investments in the hub-and-spoke and highway systems alone.

Revolutionary developments already under way in general aviation technology and training may lead to a whole new way of travel. NASA, DOT, FAA, the States, and industry can help make this happen by working together to create a Safe Small Aircraft Transportation System.
