NASA & FAA Partnership NASA FAA PARTNERSHIP - MOA, OCTOBER, 1998 GOALS ARE TO PURSUE –SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS –AIRSPACE SYSTEM EFFICIENCY –AIRCRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS

Support Environmental Compatibility REDUCTION OF AVIATION ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS - NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL –ICAO Process –NASA Research –FAA RE&D INCREASES IN NASA & FAA RE&D ENVIRONMENTAL BUDGETS U.S. GOVERNMENT PROVIDING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE –Space vs Environment

Long Term Commitments STATEMENTS FROM 1995 NATIONAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL* –ENSURE LONG-TERM ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY OF THE AVIATION SYSTEM –PAST RESEARCH INVESTMENT IN TECHNOLOGIES TO REDUCE ENGINE NOISE & EMISSIONS ARE PAYING DIVIDENDS TODAY –ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES ARE LIKELY TO IMPOSE FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATION ON THE AIR TRANSPORT GROWTH IN THE 21ST CENTURY MUST REGAIN & MAINTAIN OUR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP ROLE –COMPETITIVE IN GLOBAL ECONOMY –E.U. Spends US? * From statement by FAA RE&D Subcommittee to Advisory Committee, 1999

NASA Priority Projects HSR - HIGH SPEED TRANSPORT –LOW ALTITUDE - SUB SONIC LEVEL –SUPPORT ICAO REQUIREMENTS EMISSIONS RESEARCH –NO NEED FOR SUPER SONIC TRANSPORT (SST) AST - ADVANCED SUBSONIC TECHNOLOGY –NOISE - ENGINES AND WINGS UEET - ULTRA EFFICIENT ENGINE TECHNOLOGY –EMISSIONS –FUEL CONSUMPTION –TRL 6 –AEROSOL & 2.5 PARTICULATE MATTER DATA BASE

Airline Industry Contributions ATA Emissions Task Force-Partnerships EPA, FAA, States, Engine Manufacturers, Airport, NGO’s Identify Methods to Reduce National Emissions Airline Industry is Funding Purchase New Latest Technology Aircraft- Phase Out Old –Must be Economically Feasible –Must be Cost Effective

Possible Solutions Ask Congress for More Money-National Policy Nation’s Aviation Trust Fund –$6.8 Billion Surplus Military-DoD Consult Other Research Activities-EU Industry-Supply Test Engines Other Partnerships-DoD, EPA, State/Local Government
