Aeronautics is the first “A” in NASA, and Langley Research Center has played a pivotal role in the field since the early 20th century.
With this edition of NASA Space Crafts, you can craft and color a paper airplane of your own, as well as other NASA aviation innovations, like the X-57 Maxwell and the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology.
The air transportation system has a profound impact on access and economic growth, on technological innovation, on the environment, and on the people it serves. NASA’s researchers perform critical aeronautics research on everything from air safety and aerospace engineering, to fixed-wing aircraft and rotary-wing aircraft, to wake vortex behavior and unmanned aerial systems.
