By way of further introduction,
this two-day seminar will explore the depth and breadth of the NASA Aeronautics
Research Mission Directorate¹s work in environmentally responsible aviation.
The challenges for green aviation will be addressed, along with some of the
groundbreaking solutions being developed by NASA.
The idea is to inform participants from government, industry, and academia of specific research and development activities within NASA Aeronautics that are directed at mitigating the environmental impact of aviation.
Also on tap are stimulating exchanges of concepts and ideas with some of the key stakeholders in green aviation. The workshop will feature detailed technical presentations and panel discussions on the current state of the art and the direction for near-and far-term research and development.
To top it off, the summit is slated to conclude with an aviation industry leaders' panel discussion that will provide a view of their emerging technologies.
