The research and technology base activities in aeronautics of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) consist of collecting, interpreting, and cataloging information and data as well as developing methodologies for all aspects of manned flight within the earth's atmosphere. It includes basic scientific and engineering research as well as applied research in matters of structures, materials, aerodynaics, propulsion, and avionics, which are applicable to many classes of aircraft, not just the research limited to a specific model or type. This report is an evaluation of NASA's research and technology base in aeronautics. The committee has limited itself to a survey of the adequacy of the research and technology base element of NASA's program. Additional reports will deal with the apropriateness of the balance between NASA's in-house work and its contract work with others as well as the relevance of NASA's present and proposed programs to meet the far-reaching requirements of U.S. aviation in the future.
