Armstrong Flight Research Center Research, Technology & Engineering 2019

It is an honor to endorse the 2019 NASA’s Armstrong Flight
Research Center Research, Technology, and Engineering Report.
The talented researchers, engineers, and scientists at Armstrong
continue to create innovative solutions to address some of the most
pressing challenges facing the aerospace community, particularly as
new technologies are expanding the field of flight transportation.
Armstrong prides itself on its ability to develop new techniques,
technologies, and test methodologies that address critical aerospace
challenges. Researchers are currently undertaking cutting-edge
projects that will advance our ability to achieve critical aerospace
goals, such as quiet supersonic flight, electric aircraft, and
integration of unmanned vehicles into the National Airspace System.
In addition, teams are addressing some of the unique aspects
associated with space access as well as other diverse challenges
across mission directorates.
As we continue our efforts to support NASA’s aerospace research
and development missions, we strive to ensure that the public
is aware of the advancements we have achieved. This report
is a compilation of the wide range of work being conducted at
Armstrong, along with contact information for the associated
technologists responsible for each effort. We encourage you to
reach out to these investigators for more information or to discuss
collaboration ideas.
