For over a century, aeronautics research and development (R&D) has been a vital part of the foundation of U.S. economic prosperity and is a critical asset for maintaining our national security and defense. The aviation industry could not be more important to our nation’s economic engine and our interconnectedness to the world. Aeronautics-related R&D is the foundation upon which this healthy industry has been built.

One of the primary environmental issues that significantly influences the capacity and flexibility of the national aviation system is aircraft1 and vehicle2 noise (collectively, “aircraft noise”). 3 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) maintains a robust program of activities related to aviation noise. The FAA’s approach is multi-pronged, including research and development, regulatory control, and public and stakeholder outreach programs relating to the public’s experience of aviation noise.4 The FAA strives to reduce noise in ways within its purview, but its ability to control the change in aircraft noise exposure is limited.

In 2007, Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works® set out to satisfy the most challenging structural, environmental, and physical requirements of next-generation air and spacecraft platforms. A strategic technology was derived and the most balanced, capable, and processable reinforced high-performance thermoplastic nanocomposite around, HX5™, was created.

Skyroads AG, Munich, Germany is developing, testing and implementing an Automated Airspace Management and Vehicle Guidance System (AAVS). It is abundantly clear that a system which helps guide complex, three-dimensional traffic in congested airspace will be needed soon. Legacy ATC systems are not able to support the urban transport mode. Legislators and regulators are expecting the industry to supply solutions. Skyroads is the first company world-wide to make a comprehensive proposal. Fundamental considerations for this solution are found in our previous White Paper “Air Traffic Control for Urban Air Mobility”. The operational tasks to be solved are widely acknowledged within the current deliberations by the industry and the rulemaking bodies.
