| The Fundamental Aeronautics Program encompasses research and technology spanning four flight regimes: Subsonic Fixed Wing, Subsonic Rotary Wing, Supersonics and Hypersonics. It also supports NASA’s Vision for Space Exploration by providing key aeronautical capabilities that can be adapted for high-speed vehicles exiting and entering the atmosphere of our planet as well as operating throughout the atmospheres of other planetary bodies such as Mars. | No | 10/02/2009 | 10/30/2009 | |||
| ROA 2009: A.4 Supersonics Project (SUP1) (Recovery Act) | Amendment 4 to the NASA ARMD Research Opportunities in Aeronautics (ROA) 2009 NRA includes topics for the Supersonics Project related to the modeling of sonic booms and is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. This release includes the following three topics for the Supersonics Project related to the modeling of sonic booms: 1) auralization of sonic booms transmitted into buildings; 2) community response to low-amplitude sonic booms; 3) sonic boom focusing. | No | 10/28/2009 | 11/25/2009 | ||
ROA 2009: C.4 NextGen-Airspace Project (AS2R) (Recovery Act) |
The NextGen Airspace Project develops and explores fundamental concepts and integrated solutions that address the optimal allocation of ground and air automation technologies necessary for next generation air transportation system (NextGen). | No | 11/03/2009 | 12/01/2009 | ||
ROA 2009: C.3 NextGen-Airportal Project (AP1R) (Recovery Act) |
The NextGen-Airportal Project works in close collaboration with the NextGen-Airspace Project to conduct airspace and Airportal foundational research and discipline-based technology development for the nation. | No | 11/03/2009 | 12/01/2009 | ||
| ROA 2009: B.2 Aircraft Aging and Durability Project (AAD1) (Recovery Act) | The Aging Aircraft and Durability (AAD) Project is part of the NASA Aviation Safety Program. The goal of the AAD Project is to perform foundational research in aging science that will ultimately enable system-level integrated methods for the detection, prediction and mitigation/management of aging-related hazards for future civilian and military aircraft. | No | 11/27/2009 | 12/23/2009 | ||
| ROA 2009: B.6 Verification and Validation of Flight Critical Systems (VVFCS1) (Recovery Act) | The goal of the Verification and Validation of Flight-Critical Systems (VVFCS) project is to develop multidisciplinary verification and validation tools and techniques that advance safety assurance and certification of complex, networked, distributed flight critical systems. | No | 11/27/2009 | 12/16/2009 | ||
