Future of Air Vehicles  - NASA studys ways to make safer, faster, more efficient air vehicles. NASA does not build aircraft, rather, NASA works with industry to provide technologies that industry can use to build new aircraft. + Discover possible capabilities for future air vehicles (.mov) Development for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) will become an increasing part of our aeronautics future. Download a movie that explains some of the possibilities for non-military use UAVs. + Discover technology development for UAVs (.mov)

Explore the exciting worlds of aviation technology and air traffic management.

Aeronautical Calculations: What's with All Those Coefficients Anyway? When aircraft designers decide on the design specifications for a new aircraft, they develop a model that is tested in a wind tunnel. The data collected from wind tunnel tests are used to develop a comparison to how the aircraft will fly at full scale. They make these and other comparisons by using proven aeronautical equations using dimensionless coefficients.

ABLE FLIGHT PILOTS GIVE BACK WITH FREEDOM FLIGHT 2011 Able Flight makes it possible for people with disabilities to become pilots. In January 2011, Able Flight pilots Heather Schultz and Sean O'Donnell will do fly Sean's specially adapted airplane on a multi-city tour of a thousand miles to demonstrate to wounded veterans and others that a disability need not be a barrier to realizing a dream. Sean and Heather are also using the journey to raise funds for Able Flight scholarships for wounded veterans, providing a way for them to face and overcoming their own challenges.

Why are there so few women pilots in America? In fact, only six-percent of those holding pilot certificates are female. Why is the number of women pilots so abysmally low? Thanks to research grant support partially provided by the Wolf Aviation Fund, some of the answers are to be found right here at "Teaching Women to Fly."

Piper built almost 20,000 Cubs between 1938 and 1947. The Cub turned out to be the perfect training aircraft.  The airplane was economical to operate, easy to fly, and easy to maintain.  Spare parts were plentiful and the A-65 engine was the most common light airplane engine of the era.

Curtiss JN-4D "Jenny."  went into production in 1915.  It became the most important Army training aircraft of World War I.  More importantly, the Jenny was the airplane that gave aviation a beginning in America.

Teaching about the atmosphere?  Here are a few ideas for the classroom. Activities about the atmosphere are particularly well suited for talking about air pressure, since air pressure is essentially the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on us.  At the Exploratorium we had a couple of really great activities to get at this idea.

The front edge of the pterosaur wing is bone. in wind tunnel experiments this caused drag, making it aerodynamically less efficient than the wings of birds - which use feathers to create a smoother leading edge.  pterosaurs flew in a slow, controlled way, in particular when they came in to land. That would be important to pterosaurs because they had very thin bones which, according to Mr Palmer, could break on landing.

aviation-related charities receive grants during 2010. All of those that were nominated are already doing "good" for aviation. We want to come along side to help build awareness and increase funding opportunities. And, we want to mobilize the pilot community to learn more about them and get involved.

more than two thousand educational games for middle school and high school age students. If that library doesn't have what they're looking for, teachers can create custom games using twelve different templates provided by What 2 Learn.

"Aviation Dictionary. Here we provide a comprehensive, list type, aviation dictionary with many images. We tried to include the most common terms found in most flight training curriculums, as well as not so common terms. Student pilots, flight instructors, and even aerospace engineers should find this aviation dictionary useful."
