VISION OF FUTURE AIR TRAVEL SYSTEM FEATURED AT VIRGINIA EVENT
NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and industry partners
will showcase forward looking aviation technology at SATS 2005: A
Transformation of Air Travel, on Monday, June 6 at the regional airport in
Danville, Va.
NASA Administrator Michael Griffin and FAA Administrator Marion Blakey are
expected to help kick off SATS 2005. The Small Aircraft Transportation
System (SATS) is a demonstration of technologies and capabilities to
complement airlines and allow small airplanes to use community airports to
fly people from place to place, on demand.
SATS is a public-private partnership among NASA, the FAA and the National
Consortium for Aviation Mobility (NCAM). The SATS demonstration will use six
airplanes. The planes are equipped with advanced cockpit technologies and
displays, to show how small planes can fly safely and efficiently, even in
bad weather, into small airports that don't have radar or extensive ground
aviation navigation systems.
New advanced small airplanes will also be in Danville, June 5-7, as will
other aviation experts including NASA Associate Administrator for
Aeronautics Research, Dr. J. Victor Lebacqz, author James Fallows, heads of
aviation manufacturing and air taxi companies.
