AVIATION SAFETY PROGRAM
NASA's unique capabilities in aviation safety research are dedicated to improving the safety of current and future aircraft operating in the National Airspace System. The research focus is on the way vehicles are designed, built, operated, and maintained. Scientists and engineers in this program develop principles, guidelines, concepts, tools, methods, and technologies to address four areas:

+ Integrated Vehicle Health Management Project
+ Integrated Intelligent Flight Deck Project
+ Integrated Resilient Aircraft Control Project
+ Aircraft Aging and Durability Project
