NASA latest iteration of its vision for aeronautics research activities includes “cutting-edge sustainable aviation updates” and “new perspectives on how NASA’s work addresses key drivers of the aeronautics industry.” The 2023 Strategic Implementation Plan, released last week, lays out the strategy for NASA’s aeronautics research over the next 20 years and beyond.

“To implement this plan, our research portfolio remains organized around six strategic research thrusts,” said NASA associate administrator for aeronautics Robert Pearce. “They detail our vision for future air transportation systems that are safe and sustainable, increase personal mobility, and enhance U.S. economic well-being.”
