NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) works to solve
the challenges that still exist in our nation's air transportation
system: air traffic congestion, safety and environmental impacts.
Solutions to these problems require innovative technical concepts, and
dedicated research and development. NASA's ARMD pursues the development
of new flight operation concepts, and new tools and technologies that
can transition smoothly to industry to become products.
Through green aviation, NASA is helping create safer, greener and more
effective travel for everyone. Our green aviation goals are to enable
fuel-efficient flight planning, and reduce aircraft fuel consumption,
emissions and noise.
NASA aeronautics' four research programs conduct fundamental,
cutting-edge research into new aircraft technologies, as well as
systems-level research into the integration of new operations concepts
and technologies into the Next Generation Air Transportation System
(NextGen). A fifth program manages a portfolio of wind tunnels and other
testing facilities (icing, propulsion), flight research and support
aircraft, and the evolution of test technologies at NASA centers around
the country.
NASA has already made decades of contributions to aviation. We continue
to develop solutions to benefit the flying public every day.
