The Advanced Air Vehicles Program (AAVP) Program develops knowledge, technologies, tools, and innovative concepts to enable safe, new aircraft that will fly faster, more cleanly and quietly, and use fuel far more efficiently. The nation needs these aircraft to protect and preserve the environment and for the projected growth in both domestic and international air transportation utilization. NASA research is inherent in every major modern U.S. aircraft, and the type of research performed by the AAV Program will prime the technology pipeline, enabling continued U.S. leadership, competitiveness, and jobs in the future. Technologies and design capabilities developed for these advanced vehicles will integrate multiple, simultaneous vehicle performance considerations including fuel burn, noise, emissions, and intrinsic safety. Across the program, NASA will continue to engage partners from industry, academia, and other government agencies to maintain a sufficiently broad perspective on technology solutions to these challenges, to pursue mutually beneficial collaborations, and to leverage opportunities for effective technology transition.
The AAV Program directly supports three of the ARMD Strategic Thrusts (Thrust 2: Innovation in Commercial Supersonic Aircraft, Thrust 3: Ultra-efficient Commercial Vehicles, and Thrust 4: Transition to Low-Carbon Propulsion) and consists of five projects:
(1) The Advanced Air Transport Technology (AATT) Project conducts fundamental research to improve aircraft performance and minimize environmental impacts from subsonic air vehicles.
(2)The Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology (RVLT) Project develops and validates tools, technologies and concepts to overcome key barriers, including noise, efficiency, and safety for vertical lift vehicles.
(3) The Commercial Supersonic Technology (CST) Project explores theoretical research for potential advanced capabilities and configurations for low boom supersonic aircraft.
(4)The Advanced Composites (AC) Project conducts research to reduce the timeline for certification of composite structures for aviation.
(5)The Aeronautics Evaluation and Test Capabilities (AETC) Project ensures the strategic availability and accessibility of a critical suite of aeronautics ground test facilities necessary to meet Agency and national aeronautics testing requirements.
The work in the AAV Program directly benefits the public through the development of techniques and concepts for air vehicles that are cleaner, quieter, and more energy efficient. Research efforts in revolutionary aircraft configurations, lighter and stiffer materials, improved propulsion systems, and advanced concepts for high-lift and drag reduction all target the efficiency and environmental compatibility of future air vehicles. The program also helps the country develop and maintain excellence in the aeronautics workforce by providing significant research opportunities in all of its projects.

•Future wings are expected to be higher aspect ratio, lighter, and more flexible in order to reduce drag and improve performance. The High Aspect Ratio Optimal Wing Technical Challenge 2.1 (TC2.1) explored multiple approaches to address the challenges with increasing aspect ratio. The five technical approaches were Performance Adaptive AeroelasticWing (PAAW), Passive AeroelasticTailored Wing (PATW), Active Flow Control Wing (ACFW), Natural Laminar Flow Wing, (NLFW) and Transonic Truss Braced Wing (TTBW). Multiple wind tunnel, flight, and ground tests were completed to mature technologies that can contribute to reduced weight, reduced drag, and increased aspect ratio. The results from the technical challenge will enable further technology development of any future transonic truss-braced wing concepts.
•A systems-level assessment of HARW technologies was completed in support of TC2.1. The vehicle assessments performed for the Common Research Model (CRM) and TTBW suggest that fuel burn reductions resulting from HARW technology applications are not limited by aspect ratio over the ranges investigated and that the TC2.1 goals are realizable. •For each technical approach concept, the completed milestones and overview of research are documented through 3Q FY 2020. As of 3Q FY20, the HARW research team has generated 196 publications/presentations to share the knowledge gained, and the list of publications are included in the following slides.
•Beginning Technology Readiness Level (TRL) ~2 (different for individual technical approaches), Final TRL 3 (system); TRL 4-5 (individual technical approaches)
