NASA's 2011 Aeronautics Work Makes Mark on Aviation


NASA's aeronautical innovators are continuing to lay the foundation for the future of flight by exploring new ways to manage air traffic, build more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly airliners, and ensure aviation's outstanding record of safety. NASA's investments in fundamental aeronautics research are driving billions of dollars in economic activity and creating jobs. 

Employing a wide range of sophisticated research tools, NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate seeks fresh insight into the fundamental mysteries of aerodynamics, construction of exotic composite materials and potential use of biofuels to power jet engines. 

"Our team of researchers continues to help the United States maintain its position as a world leader in aviation while helping to create jobs at home," said Jaiwon Shin, NASA's associate administrator for aeronautics.
