From page 42... ... Any other approach, even if it produces breakthrough technologies in selected areas, is likely to have a difficult time making the systemic improvements that will be necessary to keep pace with the long-term growth in demand for air transportation. The importance of establishing strong interagency leadership that establishes a long-term vision and goals, coordinates interagency research, and conducts periodic reviews of the national aeronautical research and development programs is highlighted in the final report of the Commission on the Future of the U.S. Read the entire page →
From page 43... ... Research continued nonetheless, but the first flight of a gas turbine propulsion system did not take place until 1941, when the imperative of war spurred massive aviation research and technological advances in materials and other fields made this achievement possible. World War II also laid the foundation for a greatly expanded air transportation system by training thousands of pilots, creating a huge inventory of surplus military aircraft and airports, and producing many other advances in the state of the art of aviation technology.
