- NASA Delivers on Making Gate to Gate Flights More Efficient For a team of NASA’s aeronautical innovators working with government and industry partners, the past five years or so were invested in developing and demonstrating new tools to help you fly from here to there in the most time-efficient, fuel-saving, and cost-effective manner possible. As the Airspace Technology Demonstration (ATD) project wraps up their research [&#8230;]
- NASA’s Aviation Tech to Roll Out to Airports, Save Time for Passengers NASA Administrator Bill Nelson visited Orlando International Airport in Florida Wednesday and met with aviation leaders to discuss&#160;implementing aircraft flight scheduling technology developed by the agency that will soon improve dependability for passengers – which is especially important during peak travel times like the Thanksgiving holiday.&#160; In September, the technology that was tested during NASA’s [&#8230;]
- What is the Airspace Technology Demonstration 2? NASA technology helps air travelers get smoothly from gate to sky. After more than a year of pandemic-related travel restrictions, many people excitedly boarded planes to take them on long-awaited vacations. Plenty then sighed and settled in for a long wait: their takeoff was delayed, and they’d be sitting on the tarmac a while. Commercial [&#8230;]
- NASA, Partner to Highlight Passenger-Friendly Aviation Technology NASA Administrator Bill Nelson will visit Orlando International Airport&#160;in Florida&#160;on&#160;Wednesday, Nov. 24&#160;and meet with the&#160;Greater Orlando&#160;Aviation&#160;Authority&#160;(GOAA)&#160;CEO Phil Brown.&#160;They&#160;will discuss&#160;implementing&#160;NASA-developed flight scheduling technology that will improve dependability for passengers – which is especially important during peak travel times like the Thanksgiving holiday.&#160; NASA’s Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2) was&#160;transferred to the&#160;Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)&#160;in September&#160;and will [&#8230;]
- NASA Transfers Air Traffic Management Tool Updates to FAA As part of an effort aimed at making aviation more sustainable, NASA has transferred findings from an air traffic management project to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for nationwide implementation, the two agencies announced at a media briefing Tuesday. Over the past six years, NASA’s Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2) project demonstrated the benefits of [&#8230;]
- NASA, FAA Invite Media to Briefing on Air Traffic Control Updates NASA and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will hold a virtual briefing for media Tuesday, Sept., 28 at 1 p.m. EDT to discuss efforts to improve the sustainability of aviation through the demonstration of more efficient airport operations, contributing to the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to tackle climate change. Panelists will include NASA Administrator Bill Nelson [&#8230;]
- NASA Testing Saves Airlines One Million Gallons of Jet Fuel Results of an ongoing demonstration of NASA-developed air traffic scheduling technology at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport in North Carolina surpassed a notable milestone on May 16. Since testing of the technology began in September 2017, participating airlines at Charlotte have saved more than one million gallons of jet fuel – 1,015,734 gallons to be precise. Known [&#8230;]
- NASA and Federal Aviation Administration Sign Collaboration Agreements Nearly a century of collaboration between aeronautical innovators who now work for NASA and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will continue under a new interagency agreement that offers broad guidelines to follow in conducting the cooperative work. “With this agreement NASA will continue to lead in conducting research that will aid the FAA in meeting [&#8230;]
- NASA Showcases Benefits of Air Traffic Management Tools Two years into a three-year demonstration of new technology for more efficiently scheduling takeoffs at a major airport, NASA researchers already have seen the system generate results benefitting participating airlines and their passengers. The focus of the research – known as Airspace Technology Demonstration-2, or ATD-2 – is on enabling the coordination of schedules among [&#8230;]
- NASA Presents FAA with New Air Traffic Management Technology NASA technology developed so aircraft arriving at busy airports can be managed more efficiently was officially transferred to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) during a recent ceremony in Washington, DC. The technology is called Flight Deck Interval Management, or FIM, and its key benefit is that it will help air traffic controllers and pilots more [&#8230;]
