AOPA Online - Issue Brief: Aviation Budget Process Fuels Research Legislation provides an increase of $400,000 over the President sbudget request for the General aviation propulsion Compression Ignition Test http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/la-budget.html
Extractions: Contents What's New Join/Renew Aviation Classifieds ... Messaging/Chat AOPA closely monitored the development of FAA's funding bill for next year to ensure the AIR-21 agreement was fully implemented. This summary outlines the important milestones for FAA funding in the aviation budget process. FAA ($ in millions) Administration Proposal House Senate Final Operations Airport Improvement Research Total On February 2, AOPA President Phil Boyer wrote to President Bush urging him to honor the AIR-21 agreement. Boyer's letter touched off furious industry-wide lobbying on behalf of FAA. Congress and Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta also lobbied the White House in support of the AIR-21 funding levels and OMB's decision was reversed 11 days after AOPA first reported their initial proposal. On February 28th, President George W. Bush submitted his first budget proposal to Congress. The Bush budget plan recommended full funding for aviation at the level of $13.3 billion, $725 million above the current funding level. In addition to the funding levels, the administration decided to keep its options open with regard to user fees by deleting AOPA-supported language prohibiting taxpayer dollars from being used to develop user fee plans not previously approved by Congress. The administration reiterated its desire to "examine the success that various nations, including Canada, have experienced with individual ATC systems owned and operated by private companies."
The Other Wing - Feb 1995 General aviation propulsion Systems Proposals The second was for Regenerated engines for general aviation propulsion . And http://www.qrmc.com/feb95.html
Extractions: DON'T INCLUDE QUIET ENGINES - Feb 1995 Once each year, major federal agencies solicit proposals from small businesses on a wide variety of topics. In the 1994 cycle, NASA listed 108 topics. While I'm not a great believer in socialized research and development, I found one topic that was too good to pass up: "General Aviation Propulsion Systems... Proposals are invited for innovative concepts or integration of technologies in aircraft propulsion that are appropriate for use in general aviation aircraft. Objectives are to improve performance, safety and reliability, simplify operation, reduce maintenance and costs, and improve environmental compatibility (e.g. reduce community noise from aircraft operations). Areas of interest include the following: Simplified (single lever) power and/or airspeed controller systems. Automated engine performance monitoring systems. Innovative, alternative fuel engine concepts (e.g. rotary and diesel concepts).

Extractions: NASA Headquarters and Centers L angley Research Center is NASA's Center of Excellence in airframe systems and leads in airborne systems, structures and materials, aerodynamics, and mission and systems analysis. Located in Hampton, Virginia, Langley's unique research facilities include over 40 wind tunnels. A community of Langley researchers is honing the technologies that enable aircraft to fly faster, farther, safer, and to be more maneuverable, quieter, less expensive to manufacture, and more energy efficient. A new aviation safety initiative supported by Langley is the development of Aviation Weather Information (AWIN) systems. Airliners and smaller airplanes are one step closer to having up-to-the-minute, graphical weather displays in their cockpits. Research agreements between NASA and eight industry teams have been signed to bring about the AWIN initiative. What is envisioned in the AWIN effort is a futuristic system that allows aircraft to be both a source and user of weather information. Airborne sensors would provide data for weather systems on the plane, on the ground, and in other aircraft. As part of the cockpit instrumentation, easy-to-read, real-time displays would show weather across the country, not just a limited number of miles ahead. Satellite and ground transceivers would move weather data to and from aircraft. Industry teams working on AWIN also propose other information tools, such as alarm systems or displays of suggested routes to help pilots better avoid potentially hazardous weather situations.

Extractions: Photo courtesy of NASA The Rocket Propulsion Test Complex, or the National Space Technology Laboratories, was established in the early 1960s as the national rocket test range for large rocket propulsion systems. This facility in Mississippi was the primary site for conducting research, development and certification testing on non-flight engines to improve and upgrade basic engine design and acceptable testing of flight engines. The Saturn V rocket was one of the most reliable rockets ever built for the space program and was crucial to the effort to land a man on the moon. The success of the Saturn V was dependent upon extensive ground testing of the vehicle. Once the Saturn V lifted off the pad there was no turning back for repairs. Its powered flight was brief but critical. The economics of rocketry and the physical safety of the astronauts demanded that the rocket work perfectly. This was the purpose of the Rocket Propulsion Test Facility. No Saturn V was shipped to the Kennedy Space Center until its engines were fully tested and certified. Any problem capable of causing a failure in the vehicle was discovered and corrected before the actual launch. The Rocket Propulsion Test Complex was the critical final step in certifying the Saturn V rocket ready for flight.
Extractions: Built in 1957 by the Army Ballistic Missile Agency and transferred to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Propulsion and Structural Test Facility, in Huntsville, Alabama, became the primary center responsible for the development of large vehicles and rocket propulsion systems. During the 1960s, under the direction of Dr. Werner von Braun, the Saturn family of launch vehicles was developed here. This facility has supported testing of the Army Redstone Rocket, the Saturn S-1B vehicle and the F-1 engine of the Saturn 1-C vehicle employed in the Apollo program. One position of the test stand was later modified to accommodate static testing for the Solid Rocket booster currently used in the Space Shuttle program. Continually used and modified to meet new demands, the Propulsion and Structural Test Facility has played a part in testing every important rocket developed by the Redstone Arsenal and, later, the Marshall Space Flight Center. Without the Propulsion and Structural Test Facility the Apollo missions and the American Space Program would never have succeeded. Years of testing at this site have literally launched the American Space Program. The Propulsion and Structural Test Facility, a
