Did you know the “recycling” symbol doesn’t mean something is actually recyclable? Play our trashy garbage-sorting game, then read about why this is so tricky.Continue Reading
As deep-sea waters warm, scientists expected trouble for the microbes that help keep ocean chemistry in balance. Instead, researchers found that Nitrosopumilus maritimus can adapt to warmer, iron-limited conditions by using iron more efficiently. Because these microbes control key nitrogen reactions that support marine life, their adaptability could help sustainContinue Reading
Single-aisle Turboelectric Aircraft with Aft Boundary-Layer Propulsion A key priority for NASA Aeronautics is investing in electrified aircraft propulsion (EAP) technologies for their potential to reduce fuel consumption, emissions, and noise for commercial airplanes. Achieving these benefits could be a key step towards environmental sustainability for the entire aviation industry.Continue Reading
PEGASUS In the last decade, airlines have shifted their focus from capturing market share to consolidating operations along the most profitable routes. Airlines have also increased the average load factor of flights and have shifted from under-50 seat regional aircraft toward 70-90 seat aircraft, which tend to have superior operatingContinue Reading
X-57 Maxwell NASA’s X-57 Maxwell was an all-electric experimental aircraft designed to demonstrate multiple cutting-edge technologies. The goal of the X-57 was to demonstrate that an all-electric airplane can be more efficient, quieter, and more environmentally friendly than airplanes powered by traditional gas piston-engines. The X-57 sought to demonstrate theContinue Reading
More Subsonic Vehicle Technologies and Tools (SVTT) Project News Stay up-to-date with the latest news and content from NASA’s Subsonic Vehicle Technologies and Tools (SVTT) project as it develops technologies and tools for a wide array of subsonic air vehicle applications, ranging from next-generation vertical take-off and landing to transonic,Continue Reading
Risk Assessment for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Commercial use of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) is expected to grow significantly in the coming years due to the vehicles anticipated benefits. Several private industries have proposed using UAS to transport goods while others have considered using the aircrafts to support newsContinue Reading
Safe2Ditch Safe2Ditch was an autonomous crash management system designed to run on a small processor onboard unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Designed to be inexpensive and light, the technology takes advantage of components that are already part of many small UAV systems such as visual spectrum cameras and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)Continue Reading
Quesst Mission All four of NASA research centers and Lockheed Martin Skunk Works are on a mission to build the X-59 – the first quiet supersonic research aircraft. Stemming from low-boom flight research that had its roots in ASAB for decades, NASA Langley and SACD have been instrumental in theContinue Reading

Fostering Ultra Efficient, Low-Emitting Aviation Power (FUELEAP) NASA has supported the development of fuel cell electric power systems for decades, a history dating back to Project Gemini in the 1960s. Continuing the legacy, NASA Langley’s ASAB branch recently led research to power future electric aircraft using a hybrid-electric fuel cellContinue Reading
Unstable housing and job loss are key drivers of psychological distress among survivors of the 2023 wildfires, a new study finds. The ripple effects reach across Maui. By Keerti Gopal On the day of one of the deadliest natural disasters in Hawaii’s history, Blake Kekoa Ramelb watched his hometown goContinue Reading
