NASA ANNOUNCES NEW SUBSONIC AIRCRAFT RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES

WASHINGTON -- NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate has
amended its NASA Research Announcement to solicit additional research
proposals. The "Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2010" has been
modified to include new topics in support of the Subsonic Fixed Wing
Project.

With the amendment, the Subsonic Fixed Wing Project encourages
proposals that develop improved prediction methods and technologies
for lower noise, lower emissions, and higher performance for subsonic
aircraft. The goal is to develop the enabling technology to meet
specific long-term goals to reduce noise and emissions, improve
aircraft fuel burn efficiency, and enable use of shorter runways at
smaller airfields.

NASA expects that educational institutions, nonprofit organizations
and industry engaged in foundational research will be the primary
award recipients for this announcement. Specific evaluation criteria,
deadlines and points of contact are available in the announcement.
Potential applicants should note the due date for proposals is Nov.
30, 2010.
