These awards will foster close collaboration with and facilitate the exchange of ideas and information among researchers at NASA, industry, academia, and other government agencies to benefit the nation's aeronautics community.

The Fundamental Aeronautics Program is dedicated to the mastery and intellectual stewardship of the core competencies of aeronautics for the nation across all flight regimes. The corresponding long-term research that the program performs is both focused and integrated across disciplines. Using this research, the program provides feasible solutions to the performance and environmental challenges of current and future air vehicles. The results of our pre-competitive research are widely disseminated and available to support the nation's aerospace industry. Fundamental Aeronautics concentrates research in four areas: Subsonic Fixed Wing, Subsonic Rotary Wing, Supersonics, and Hypersonics.
