Heidmann is responsible for the overall planning, management, and oversight of the directorate\u2019s efforts to develop innovative concepts, technologies, and capabilities to enable revolutionary advances for a wide range of air vehicles.  He supports the mission directorate and the ARMD associate administrator in a broad range of activities, including strategic and program planning, budget development, program review and evaluation, and external coordination and outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Advanced Air Vehicles Program focuses on achieving major leaps in the performance of subsonic fixed and vertical lift aircraft to meet challenging and growing long-term civil aviation needs; on pioneering low-boom supersonic flight to achieve new levels of global mobility; and on sustaining hypersonic competency for national needs while advancing fundamental hypersonics research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heidmann most recently served as Manager of NASA\u2019s Advanced Air Transport Technology Project. In this capacity, he led NASA\u2019s technology development for subsonic transport aircraft. Prior to this role, he served as Acting Deputy Director of NASA\u2019s Advanced Air Vehicles Program, managed NASA\u2019s Transformational Tools & Technologies project, and also served as Chief of the Turbomachinery and Heat Transfer Branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to these management roles, Jim spent 20 years as an Aerospace Research Engineer, publishing more than 20 papers and journal articles in the area of turbomachinery aerodynamics and heat transfer. He was elected Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2007, Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 2015 and received the Outstanding Mechanical Engineer award from Purdue University School of Mechanical Engineering in 2017. Jim received a bachelor\u2019s of science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Toledo in 1986, a master\u2019s of science degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University in 1988, and a doctorate in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Case Western Reserve University in 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-featured-file-list bg-spacesuit-white padding-x-2 tablet:padding-x-3 desktop:padding-x-4 padding-y-5 desktop:padding-y-6 hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-file-list\">\t<div class=\"grid-container grid-container-block padding-0\">\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-row width-full margin-bottom-4\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-6 margin-bottom-2 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 role=\"textbox\" class=\"heading-22\">\n\t\t\t\t\tDownloads\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-6\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desktop:grid-col display-flex flex-align-center desktop:flex-justify-end\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-list-row hds-file-list-row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-list-thumbnail hds-file-list-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-list-thumbnail-inner hds-file-list-thumbnail-inner hds-cover-wrapper\"><figure class=\"hds-media-background  \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/jim-heidmann-wider.jpg?w=150&h=150&crop=1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Photo of Dr. James (Jim) Heidmann\" style=\"transform: scale(1.2);
