14 DAY TRIAL // The 2010 edition of the Green Aviation Summit will be hosted by NASA on September 8-9, at the Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.
This is the perfect occasion for the agency to present all of the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate’s work, that has, is and will be done to develop aviation technologies that are environmentally friendly.
NASA experts, federal government organizations, industry and academia will take part at this two-day meeting, greeted by NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on September 8.
The discussions will cover challenges for green aviation as well as the presentation of some of the groundbreaking solutions being explored by NASA and its research partners to reduce aircraft noise, emissions and fuel consumption, and to ensure the safe and manageable development of the aviation system.
At this summit, leading policymakers will have the opportunity to present their work and the most passionate participants will be given technical details and will assist at discussions on the current state of the art and emerging technologies, as well as the direction for near- and far-term research and development.
All research and development activities within NASA Aeronautics with the purpose of limiting the environmental impact of aviation will be presented to the public, who will have the opportunity of exchanging ideas and concepts with some of the key stakeholders of the green aviation.
All attendees must register for this event and the online registration will close at 5:00 PM (PDT) on Tuesday, August 31, 2010.
NASA is conducting research for improving the air transportation system and for developing future environmental friendly air and space vehicles with low noise, emissions and fuel burns.
The space agency's research fields include aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, propulsion, materials and structures, sensor and actuator technologies, dynamics and control, advanced computational and mathematical techniques, and experimental measurement techniques.
