The Vision of NextGen
This video, produced by the Joint Planning and Development Office
(JPDO), shows what future air travel might look like. NextGen, or, the
Next Generation Air Transportation System. NASA and its fellow members
of the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) are creating NextGen
by the year 2025 ("MMXXV") to manage increasing air traffic safely and
efficiently while reducing its impact on the environment. This JPDO
video shows a future aircraft with its wings blended into its body
moving cleanly through the sky. It also shows future options for
directing air traffic into and out of airports that are more customized
to aircraft trajectories.
