Administrator Charles Bolden Will Open The Session
NASA officials will meet with aeronautics industry, academia,
and government leaders August 25 to kick off a series of roundtable
discussions about future directions for aeronautics research and
technology. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden will address the
participants. The roundtable is sponsored by NASA and organized by
the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences
and National Academy of Engineering. Its purpose is to facilitate
candid dialogue among participants, to foster greater partnership
among the NASA-related aeronautics community and, where
appropriate, carry awareness of consequences to the wider
public.
The Aeronautics Research and Technology Roundtable was
established at NASA's request by the National Research Council's
Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board. The 25-member panel
includes a broad range of executives, entrepreneurs and experts
representing airframe and engine manufacturers, general aviation
companies, academia, industry associations, and other federal
agencies.
NASA has a long history of aeronautics research for public
benefit. Through scientific study, NASA's Aeronautics Research
Mission Directorate works to find practical solutions to the
problems of flight. In the past five years, the directorate has
revitalized its aeronautics research investment portfolio with a
back-to-basics philosophy balanced by a growing portfolio of
systems-level research efforts that ensures excellence in
broad-based fundamental research with robust mechanisms for
community participation.
During several recent site visits with U.S. aerospace companies,
NASA officials learned there are many productive avenues for future
innovation with the aeronautics sector. They sought the National
Research Council's assistance expanding this communication to
enable more vigorous public-private collaboration in
pre-competitive areas of common interest.
Two additional roundtable meetings are anticipated in early and
mid 2012.
