"It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and
skill."
Wilbur Wright, American inventor/aviator (1867–1912)
At the dawn of the second century of aeronautics, NASA remains an
essential contributor and collaborator, recognized for our unique
knowledge and skill in the realm of aeronautics research.
NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate is committed to
technical excellence, to technical accomplishments that benefit the
public, and to our role as steward of the scientific and technical
workforce and facilities responsible for civil aeronautics research—a
key United States asset.
We conduct cutting-edge research across the breadth of aeronautics
disciplines to support revolutionary capabilities, not just in our
vehicles but also in the airspace in which they fly.
These Timelines of Technical Excellence highlight technical
accomplishments made by scientists and researchers working at the NASA
Centers, as well as historical checkpoints that provide context for
ongoing efforts to understand and explore the frontiers of flight.
