Since the Wright Brother's first flight over 100 years ago, aviation researchers have worked to improve navigation tools and field critical safety technologies. Today that legacy continues as Federal Aviation Administration researchers, scientists, and engineers continue to improve the national aviation system that is universally recognized as the safest and most technologically advanced in the world. The FAA is committed to improving the performance of our aviation system to meet the economic and national security needs of the nation. This commitment is evident in the research and development (R&D) program, which is developing new technologies, tools, and procedures to meet the Agency's goals and objectives, both in the near-term and for years to come. The FAA's strategic plan - Flight Plan 2005-2009, describes near-term performance goals and objectives. The longterm performance goals and objectives are described in the Joint Planning and Development Organization (JPDO) framework document and in the Next Generation Air Transportation System Integrated Plan. The 2005 National Aviation Research Plan (NARP) describes how R&D helps FAA meet its near-term goals while also preparing the Agency to meet the long-term needs of the air transportation system. The Plan defines FAA R&D strategies that address the major operational challenges facing the aviation system - to increase safety, provide greater capacity, ensure international leadership, and achieve organizational excellence. These R&D strategies enable FAAto focus its limited resources on the major safety and capacity challenges facing the system over the next five to ten years and to plan for the next generation air transportation system, nominally targeted for the year 2025. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
