+ October 21-23, 2008: Aviation Safety Technical Conference
Denver, CO
The Aviation Safety Program and its government, industry and academia
partners will share their latest results and progress towards future
goals with the broader aviation community, and will provide an opportunity
for attendees to interact with their colleagues on collaborative issues.

+ October 7-9, 2008: Fundamental Aeronautics Program Annual Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia
Save the date now for this important event that will strengthen
partnerships and share research results as the aeronautics community
works toward a common national goal: providing air vehicles capable of
enabling the Next Generation Air Transportation System.
+ August 28, 2008: Technical Seminar: "Development of Shape Memory Alloys for Applications in Aeronautics"
Washington, DC
Shape memory alloys are materials that remember their original shape and
then return to that shape after being strained. This seminar explores
the challenges and progress in developing these unique alloys that, when
used instead of conventional materials, could improve aircraft
performance and fuel economy and reduce aircraft noise and emissions.
+ June 30, 2008: Technical Seminar: "Towards Intelligent Flight Control"
Washington, DC
Aircraft concepts and designs currently being studied for the Next
Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) elevate the complexity
required in flight control designs. The objective of an intelligent
controller is to achieve higher degrees of autonomy, also a necessity
for the NextGen. This seminar will present several intelligent control
architectures that are currently being studied and developed at NASA.
+ May 20, 2008: Technical Seminar: "Electron Beam Forming Fabrication"
Washington, DC
This seminar is presented by Ms. Karen Taminger of NASA's Langley Research Center.
+ May 15, 2008: Federal Aviation Administration Market Research Conference
Washington, DC
The Federal Aviation Administration is conducting a market survey for a
planned procurement to develop and mature continuous, lower energy,
emissions, and noise (CLEEN) technologies for civil subsonic jet
aircraft. These technologies will help achieve the Next Generation Air
Transportation System (NextGen) goals to reduce aviation noise and air
quality impacts in absolute terms, despite anticipated capacity growth,
and to limit or reduce aviation greenhouse gas emissions impacts. This
conference is being held by the FAA in partnership with NASA's
Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate.
+ April 8, 2008: Technical Seminar: "Aviation and the Environment: Managing the Challenge of Growth"
Washington, DC
Aircraft noise and local air quality concerns are strong constraints on
airspace system capacity. These constraints have prompted cancellation,
delays, and down-scaling of plans to expand airport capacity over the
past decades. Looking forward, we see more environmental challenges to
capacity expansion, including climate change issues. This briefing by
Carl Burleson of the FAA will detail the potential of the Next
Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) plan to produce
substantial environmental gains.
+ March 18-20, 2008: Airspace Systems Program Technical Interchange Meeting
Registration Now Closed!
Austin, Texas
This event will be a three-day discussion of several key long-term
research issues for the Next Generation Air Transportation System
(NextGen). NextGen-Airspace and NextGen-Airportal Projects, along with
their partners, will share highlights of the first year of their
research. The forum will include plenary sessions and two parallel
technical tracks examining issues in separation management, trajectory
management, flow contingency management, and capacity management.
+ January 31, 2008: Technical Seminar: Equivalent Visual Flight Deck Technologies
Washington, DC
Reduced visibility affects the safety and efficiency of nearly all
flight operations. As a result, researchers have looked for ways to
improve and/or provide a vision capability to pilots that is independent
of actual visibility or weather conditions. In recent years, research
has focused on two technologies - Synthetic and Enhanced Vision Systems
(SVS/EVS).
