System-Wide Safety Project
The transformation of aviation to make flight more efficient and accessible, even as the global demand for air transportation services steadily increases, will require new research tools, innovative technologies, and operational methods. Enabling this to be done safely at every step is the goal of the System-Wide Safety (SWS) project.
