Aviation Systems Division Research
The Aviation Systems Division is researching, developing and testing innovative automation solutions, including concepts, technologies, and procedures, to identify the most promising capabilities for achieving a comprehensive transformation of the Nation’s air transportation system. A modern national airspace system will be safer, more reliable, and more efficient to meet continued growth in air traffic. In collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the US Department of Defense (DoD), and other industry partners, the Division performs research in traditional air traffic management, as well as operations that integrate novel aircraft, referred to as Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), in support of the following NASA projects.
Advanced Air Mobility Pathfinders (AAMP)
NASA's Advanced Air Mobility Pathfinders project evaluates and verifies advanced air mobility technologies designed for emergency response and urban transportation. This initiative aims to establish the safety and practicality of these solutions through real-world flight operations.
