Why NASA is prioritizing the future of cleaner, quieter aviation
In short: NASA isn't just looking at the stars; it is looking at how we move on Earth. Administrator Charles Bolden outlines the agency's commitment to developing aviation technologies that reduce environmental impact without sacrificing traveler convenience.
At the Green Aviation Summit held at NASA's Ames Research Center, Administrator Charles Bolden emphasized the agency's 'critical responsibility' to the flying public. The goal is to engineer aviation technologies that are simultaneously cleaner, quieter, and more efficient.
The two-day summit convened approximately 2,000 experts from NASA and various other organizations. The discussions focused on practical solutions to three major industry hurdles: aircraft noise, carbon emissions, and high fuel consumption.
