## Three Pillars for Success

***Pillar Three:***
***Access to Space***

***Pillar One:***
***Global Civil Aviation***

**Three Pillars for Success**

***Pillar Two:***
***Revolutionary***
***Technology Leaps***

## Global Civil Aviation

_**Enabling Technology Goals**_
- Safety:
- Reduce the aircraft accident rate by a factor of five within 10 years and by a factor of ten within 25 years
- Environmental Compatibility:
- Reduce emissions of future aircraft by a factor of three within 10 years, and by a factor of five within 25 years
- Reduce the perceived noise levels of future aircraft by a factor of two from today’s subsonic aircraft within 10 years and by four within 25 years

***Prevailing noise at airports will be from cars and buses***

***Meeting stringent international standards for noise & emissions could become a competitive advantage***

***Air travel is the safest of all major modes of transportation***

***Hull Losses***
***per million departures***

**Global Civil Aviation**

## Global Civil Aviation

- Affordable Air Travel:
- While maintaining safety, triple the aviation system throughput, in all weather conditions, within 10 years
- Reduce the cost of air travel by 25% within 10 years and by 50% within 25 years

**Global Civil Aviation**

***Increase fuel efficiency***

***To accommodate the growth in air travel and air cargo, 12,000 new aircraft will be added in the next 20 years***

***Need to reverse the trend of increasing cost of ownership and operation***

***Joint NASA & FAA research into unrestricted flight will allow more aircraft to safely share airspace***

## Revolutionary Technology Leaps

_**Enabling Technology Goals**_
- High-Speed Travel:
- Reduce the travel time to the Far East and Europe by 50% within 25 years, and do so at today’s subsonic ticket prices.
- General Aviation Revitalization:
- Invigorate the general aviation industry, delivering 10,000 aircraft annually within 10 years, and 20,000 aircraft within 25 years.

***Advanced Design for General Aviation Aircraft***

***The High-Speed Civil Transport will Revolutionize Overseas Travel***

***Low-Cost Materials and Structures for Affordability***

## Revolutionary Technology Leaps

_**Enabling Technology Goals**_
- Tools of the Trade:
- Provide next-generation design tools and experimental aircraft to increase design confidence, and cut the development cycle time for aircraft in half.

***Hyper-X: Airbreathing propulsion research to Mach 10***

***Blended -Wing-Body***

***Computational View of Complex Aerodynamics on an F-18***

**NASA’s Advanced Computational Research Facilities**

## Access to Space

_**Aerospace Technology Goals**_
- Revolutionizing America’s Space Launch Capabilities:
- Reduce the payload cost to low-Earth orbit by an order of magnitude, from $10,000 to $1,000 per pound, within 10 years and by an additional order of magnitude within 25 years
- Reduce the cost to interorbital transfer by an order of magnitude within 15 years, and reduce travel time for planetary missions by a factor of two within 15 years, and by an order of magnitude within 25 years

**Access to Space**

***Advanced Mars Transportation***

***Advanced Propulsion Research Vehicle to Revolutionize Space Access***

***X-34 Air Launched Vehicle***

***X-33 Technology Demonstrator***

## Aviation Safety

- Limited visibility is _single greatest contributing factor_ in CFIT accidents, General Aviation accidents, *and* airspace capacity limitations

## Noise Reduction

**OBJECTIVE:  10 dB Community Noise Impact Reduction Relative to 1992 Production ****	****	****	****Technology**

**Notes:**
A lot of stuff on this chart - read the top and then talk about the contour area reduction.

Important point:  area reductions do not include any equivalent reduction due to operations - they only contain the source noise reduction objectives.

•Number of local noise related restrictions has grown worldwide from 140 airports in 1980, to 200 in 1994, to 350 in 1998, including airport in 49 of our 50 states.
•Successful mitigation strategy has been to sound insulate homes and schools around airports
•Billions of dollars, currently ~$300M/yr., of Airport Improvement Program grant and Passenger Facility Charge resources have been spent on aviation noise impact mitigation projects, including sound insulation
•Chicago is spend $33,000 per hour for soundproofing
•Irony is that while insulating a home or school reduces sound exposure inside, it does nothing for people outside

     --Produces 700-lbs thrust while weighing less than 100 lbs.
     --Cost less than $100,000 vs. greater than $250,000 for current
     --Comparable size turboprop propulsion (no small turbofans exist)
•Enables whole new class of quiet, affordable, high-performanc eaircraft
     --Quieter than today’s piston engine aircraft

## H&H Themes

- Airport/Aircraft Safety, Security, & Efficiency
- Aviation Safety
- Aviation Systems Capacity
- Design Tools
- Engine Propulsion Technology & Emissions
- Information Technology
- Noise Reduction
- Small A/C Transportation System(SATS)
- Space Transportation Technology
- Vehicle Technologies

## H&H Themes to be Discussed at Langley

- Aviation Safety
- Design Tools
- Small A/C Transportation System(SATS)
- Vehicle Technologies
- Noise Reduction

## Approach

- In general, all of the centers contribute to all of the themes
- We want the attendees to have an overview of all of the work, and
- We also want the attendees to be able to see in some detail the items that the host center is accomplishing for the themes presented at that center

## Approach (continued)

- An overview will be given for each theme
- Describes all of the work
- Describes the roles of each center
- Detailed demonstrations/presentations will be given of the host center’s contributions to each of the themes discussed at that center
- “breakout” sessions will be conducted on each theme to obtain participants feedback and direct them to where they can get more detailed information at each of the centers
- An overall summary feedback session will be conducted to obtain further feedback

**A core team **
**consisting of members from all centers **
**will  attend all “home and home” activities**
