Event Sponsored By The Agency's Aeronautics Research Mission
Directorate
NASA officials will meet with aeronautics industry, academia and
government leaders Feb. 21-22 for the second in a series of
roundtable discussions about future directions for aeronautics
research and technology. The Aeronautics Research and Technology
Roundtable is sponsored by NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission
Directorate in Washington and organized by the National Research
Council of the National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of
Engineering.
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. 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 issues to the wider
public.
"We are grateful to the National Research Council for helping us
expand our communication with our colleagues in industry," said
Jaiwon Shin, NASA's associate administrator for aeronautics
research. "The Aeronautics Research and Technology Roundtable has
provided an excellent forum for us to exchange ideas, explore
research concepts, and discuss more vigorous public-private
collaboration outside the competitive arena."
The two-day meeting will be conducted by the National Research
Council's Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board and will be held
at the National Academies' Keck Building in Washington. On the
first day, roundtable members will participate in separate
discussions on issues of interest to four aviation sectors. General
aviation and commercial aviation will be the subjects of concurrent
sessions from 0830-1230 EST. Vertical lift and unmanned aircraft
systems will be featured in concurrent sessions from 1330-1730. On
the second day, roundtable members will gather from 0830-1700 EST
for a plenary session featuring reports from the previous day's
discussions.
Discussion topics were identified at the first roundtable
meeting in August 2011. Four teleconferences, organized by sector,
were conducted in December 2011. A third roundtable meeting is
anticipated later this year.
