摘要

As the United States prepares for air traffic to double over the next 20 years, NASA should be leading the research to develop aircraft that produce lower levels of harmful emissions, noise and energy consumption, a panel told members of Congress May 1. However, NASA's 2009 budget request of $446.5 million for aeronautics research is $62.5 million less than Congress appropriated for 2008 and continues a trend that has led to a 24 percent budget reduction over the past decade, according to budget information provided to the House Science and Technology space and aeronautics subcommittee. Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) called the cuts unacceptable. "NASA has many worthwhile programs under way - activities that deserve our support," he said during a May 1 subcommittee hearing. "Yet I am hard-pressed to think of any program at NASA, with the possible exception of NASA's climate research initiatives, that is more relevant to our society's needs than NASA's aeronautics program." A lack of facilities such as wind tunnels for technology demonstrations, has forced the U.S. aeronautics commercial sector to seek test sites in Europe and to compete for business in markets that enjoy significant government backing, Preston Henne, senior vice president of programs, engineering and tests for Savannah, Ga.-based Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. told the House Science and Technology space and aeronautics subcommittee.
