On October 6, 2008, NASA awarded research contracts worth a total of
$12.4 million to six industry teams to study advanced concepts for
subsonic and supersonic commercial transport aircraft that could enter
service in 25 to 30 years.
The focus of the studies is on commercial transports that can overcome
significant performance and environmental challenges for the benefit of
the general public. The work is intended to identify key technology
development needs, such as advanced airframes and propulsion systems, as
well as breakthroughs that will enable such vehicles to enter service in
2030-2035. The vehicles represent a research and development generation
known as N+3, denoting three generations beyond the current commercial
transport fleet.
