NASA Aeronautics Competition for College Students - Deadline April 30, 2008
DEADLINE UPDATE: Aeronautics Competitions for College Students
The Fundamental Aeronautics Program of the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters announces a new aeronautics competition for college students for the 2007-2008 academic year.
College students are invited to design the next generation, 21st-century, “DC-3”-type aircraft. Some of the design considerations include reduced environmental impact, reduced noise, daily operations on short runways, cost analysis for production and operation, passenger and cargo limits, structure and materials, and engines. Students should also briefly describe three valid scenarios for potential use of this vehicle in the year 2058. Final entries are due April 30, 2008.

NASA Research Opportunity in Aeronautics: Supersonics Project - Deadline May 2, 2008
This NASA Research Announcement, entitled Research Opportunities in Aeronautics (ROA) — 2008, solicits foundational research in support of NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. One of the projects supported by this NRA is the Supersonics project.
The Supersonics project is a broad-based effort designed to develop knowledge, capabilities and technologies that support vehicles that fly in the supersonic speed regime. In this solicitation, the Supersonics project is seeking proposals in the Light Weight, Durable Airframes and High Altitude Emissions Technical Challenges.
Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. It is anticipated that the majority of awards will be cooperative agreements or contracts due to the expected collaborative nature of the work specified.
Participation in this program is open to U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, including educational institutions. Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Universities are encouraged to apply. Working as teams is highly encouraged.
All proposals must be submitted electronically. Electronic proposals must be submitted by May 2, 2008.

NASA Research Opportunity in Aeronautics: NextGen-Airportal Project - Deadline April 25, 2008
This NASA Research Announcement, entitled Research Opportunities in Aeronautics (ROA) — 2007, solicits foundational research in support of NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. One of the projects supported by this NRA is the NextGen-Airportal Project.
The NextGen-Airportal Project will work in close collaboration with the NextGen-Airspace Project to conduct airspace and airportal foundational research and discipline-based technology development. The NextGen-Airportal Project will focus on achieving the highest possible efficiency in the use of such airportal resources as gates, taxiways, runways and terminal airspace.
Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts, depending on the nature of the proposing organization and/or program requirements. It is anticipated that the majority of awards will be cooperative agreements or contracts due to the expected collaborative nature of the work specified.
Participation in this program is open to U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, including educational institutions. Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Universities are encouraged to apply. Working as teams is highly encouraged.
All proposals must be submitted electronically. Electronic proposals must be submitted by April 25, 2008.
