Community noise technology needs: Boeing's perspective

Airport community acceptance of High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) noise levels will depend on the relative noise levels of airplanes flying at the time of introduction. The 85 dBA noise contours for the range of large subsonic airplanes that are expected to be in service in the early 21st century are shown as a shaded area. A certifiable HSCT noise contour as shown, would be somewhat wider along the runway, but about the same in the residential areas downrange. An HSCT noise rule should insure this noise capability.

Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) Systems for SMD Mission Needs. Technology Infusion Study.

Two presentations for SBAG and OPAG meetings: 1) Solar Electric Propulsion Systems for SMD Missions, and 2) Technology Infusion Study - Draft Findings Recommendation Small Bodies Assessment Group (SBAG) meeting is January 9th in Washington D.C., and the Outer Planets Assessment Group (OPAG) meeting is January 23-14 in Tucson, AZ. NASA sponsors these assessment groups, through the NRC, for the science community to assess and provide advice. These talks are to provide a status of 2 NASA activities, and to seek feedback from the respective science communities.

The NASA Advanced Transport Technology Program.

Review of an advanced technology program initiated by NASA to expedite the development and application of advanced technologies to the next generation of subsonic CTOL jet transports. The major technical elements of this program include airframe and engine system studies for identifying technology needs, technology development for providing the necessary base in those areas of the aeronautical disciplines offering significant payoffs, and exploratory flight vehicles for validating advanced concepts and demonstrating specific benefits associated with civil applications. The possible benefits and application of the NASA-developed supercritical aerodynamic technology are discussed in some detail. Early experimental aerodynamic results obtained from wind tunnel and flight investigations are included.
