A third group of the Fundamental Aeronautics Program is the supersonics project, designed to improve cruise efficiency, noise, emissions, performance, and boom acceptability for supersonic vehicles. Hypersonics is the final project of the 1 NASA Fundamental Aeronautics Program, presentation to the National Research Council Committee on NASA's Aeronautics Flight Research Capabilities, April 20, 2011, Slide 9.

Other efforts are being conducted within the other projects that feed into these two efforts. The G-III aircraft being modified to perform distributed roughness elements is currently being modified for flight testing by the Aeronautics Test Program and will test the fundamental understanding obtained from the subsonic fixed wing aircraft project.

Aviation Safety Program Flight Test Activities The majority of flight research within the Aviation Safety Program has been focused on vehicle systems safety and more specifically flight controls technologies. This flight research on flight controls has been performed in two venues -- small simple unpiloted aircraft for basic work, and piloted and very complex F/A-18 aircraft.

OVERVIEW OF THE AERONAUTICS TEST PROGRAM The Aeronautics Test Program (ATP) does not conduct flight research; however, it does make it possible for the other programs within ARMD to conduct both ground and flight testing.

From page 82... ...
Aeronautics Test Program Flight Test Activities Although the primary objective of ATP is to operate ground test facilities, it also is involved in flight activities. These flight activities are located primarily at the Dryden Flight Research Center and include the operation of the Western Aeronautical Test Range, and numerous support and testbed aircraft.
