- NASA Leader Casey Swails Learns About Wildfire Work at NASA Ames NASA Deputy Associate Administrator Casey Swails views a demonstration on screen in the Airspace Operations Laboratory at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California&#8217;s Silicon Valley. Researchers presented the diverse, long-running efforts in aeronautics at Ames that have helped lay the foundation for agency work related to wildfire response. These include a project to help integrate [&#8230;]
- What is Air Traffic Management eXploration? Transforming air traffic management to accommodate new air vehicles and demand for increased mobility Operators of new and emerging aircraft – such as&#160;future&#160;Advanced Air Mobility&#160;vehicles or electric-powered vertical takeoff and landing vehicles&#160;– have big plans to fly in the U.S. airspace. But before that can happen, we’ll need to work with the Federal Aviation Administration, [&#8230;]
- Wildfire Workshop Finds Ways NASA Aero Tech Can Fight Fires Wildfires in the United States are bigger, increasingly dangerous, and more costly than ever before. California and other states are facing a prolonged drought along with hotter temperatures brought about by a changing climate. This means once a wildfire takes hold, more acres succumb to intense flames, which puts more people and homes in harm’s [&#8230;]
- What is Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management? NASA is working to safely integrate drones into low-altitude airspace. Ever wonder what the skies will look like in the next five to 10 years? Can you imagine stepping onto your balcony on a sunny day, seeing drones buzzing around? They could be delivering food and goods to doorsteps, hovering around backyards for family fun [&#8230;]
- A Story for Axel: Big Ideas for Better Air Mobility with Drones of all Sizes In this essay from 2021 &#8212; which was originally presented as a three-part web feature &#8212; NASA Aeronautics’ senior writer Jim Banke tells his newborn grandson, Axel, the story about how two recently concluded major air traffic management research projects will help achieve a long-held vision for the future of aviation. Well, Axel, it’s just [&#8230;]
