As the Next Generation Air Transportation System evolves to meet the
projected growth in demand for air travel, detrimental environmental
impacts are a growing concern and could limit the system's expansion.
The Integrated Systems Research Program (ISRP) is a new effort whose
goal it will be to conduct integrated-systems research on promising
aeronautical concepts and technologies, exploring, assessing and
demonstrating their benefits in a relevant environment.
The Program will focus specifically on maturing and integrating
technologies in major vehicle and operational systems and subsystems for
accelerated transition to practical application. The ISRP's work will be
synchronized with the ongoing long-term, foundational research conducted
by the three other programs within NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission
Directorate, and will be closely coordinated with the efforts of other
federal government agencies.
Currently the ISRP has one project, the Environmentally Responsible
Aviation (ERA) Project. Based on its potential to simultaneously reduce
fuel burn, noise and emissions, the ERA Project will select promising
vehicle and propulsion concepts and technologies to further mature.
