9.1.1 AERONAUTICS RESEARCH
The Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate will re-establish NASA’s dedication to the mastery of core competencies in subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic flight. This Directorate will develop system-level, multi-disciplinary capabilities to meet the needs of both civilian and military communities.
NASA is the nation’s leading government organization for aeronautical research. This world-class capability is built on a tradition of expertise in core disciplines. NASA is restructuring the Agency’s aeronautics programs to ensure long-term investments and fundamental research in both traditional aeronautical disciplines and relevant emerging fields that can be integrated into system-level, multi-disciplinary capabilities.
NASA will invest heavily in the core competencies of aeronautics in all flight regimes to produce knowledge, data, and design tools that are applicable across a broad range of air vehicles. This will include the continued stewardship on NASA’s many aeronautics test facilities, including wind tunnels and propulsion test cells that are considered to be national assets.
