NASA has selected four university teams to help the agency transform the future of aviation through projects ranging from high-supersonic propulsion systems to low-noise routes for small aircraft flying through cities. The agency made awards through its University Leadership Initiative, which offers student teams the opportunity to contribute to real-world flight research that advances NASA’s goals in aeronautics.
NASA’s next Gateways to Blue Skies competition invites collegiate teams to imagine innovative new ways aircraft could inspect land-based infrastructure, such as bridges and tunnels, to improve safety, reliability, and costs by 2035 or sooner. Infrastructure is the foundation of the nation’s strong economy, global competitiveness, and daily quality of life. When that infrastructure is
Oil producers in the Middle East have been experiencing disruptions to maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. But this could present a strategic opportunity to rethink how energy infrastructure can be deployed in an increasingly uncertain world. The global transition towards low-carbon energy sources is often framed as a challenge for fossil-fuel-producing nations. Yet
