Our work advances propulsion for aircraft while reducing energy consumption, noise, emissions and the cost of air travel. We are committed to investigating the use of alternative energy sources and improving the safety and expediency of flight.
NASA’s icing research involves the development of tools and methods for evaluating and simulating the growth of ice on current and future aircraft surfaces or inside the engines and the effects that ice may have on the behavior of aircraft in flight.
The aviation industry has made tremendous strides in increasing the efficiency of today’s aircraft, especially by significantly reducing the fuel consumption of the aircraft engines. NASA’s Glenn Research Center is working on propulsion technology to increase the fuel efficiency of future aircraft even more, reducing the overall cost to consumers and the impact on the … Read the rest ⇢
NASA Glenn’s research in Electrified Aircraft Propulsion (EAP) offers new possibilities for reducing fuel and energy usage in aviation. Innovative technologies, aircraft concepts, test aircraft, and ground test facilities will turn this vision of efficient flight from science fiction to reality.
Our vision is to help increase the peace and quiet in the world by serving as a leader in aircraft engine noise reduction research
Accelerate development and demonstration of advanced turbine engine technologies in a high-power-density core to enable next-generation commercial transport aircraft.
