The Fundamental Aeronautics Program convened its first annual meeting at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel from October 30 to November 1, 2007. Three full days of plenary, breakout, and feedback sessions involved almost 400 attendees, including NASA personnel and partners from industry, academia, and other federal agencies.

Each of the projects in the program-Subsonic Fixed Wing, Subsonic Rotary Wing, Supersonics, and Hypersonics-provided its latest research results in four parallel tracks and a total of 120 A/V presentations. In addition, the kickoff session included directorate, program, and project overviews. These documents are provided below:

• ARMD Overview/ Fundamental Aeronautics Program Highlights

A CD containing the speakers' PowerPoint presentations, and a DVD of the Fundamental Aeronautics Program video, Today's Research...Tomorrow's Flight, will be forwarded to all meeting attendees in late November. These A/V materials will also be available by request in early December. Please email the program at nasa-fa@nasa.gov to obtain a copy.
