ABSTRACT	For more than 50 years, NASA has developed aeronautical technologies that have affected all aspects of aeronautics from general aviation to advanced military aircraft to spaceflight. NASA aeronautics remains true to the 1958 Space Act with the goal of the widest practicable and possible dissemination of its research. Innovations developed either solely by NASA or in partnership with industry or academia have benefited the public in their daily lives and in the defense of the United States. It can be safely said that NASA-developed technology or its derivatives can be found on every aircraft in the current United States commercial airliner and military aircraft fleets.45 It is a fitting tribute that the main thrust of a statement made more than 30 years ago by former astronaut and research pilot Neil Armstrong, then Deputy Associate Administrator for Aeronautics in the Office of Advanced Research and Technology, remains relevant today. Only the numbers of NASA employees and budget dollars have changed: In 1958 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was brought into being to explore certain broad areas of research and development, which included not only the exploration of space but also the continued responsibility in aeronautics which had been the primary function of its predecessor agency, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. It is seldom recognized by the general public that NASA has a vital and necessary role in the advancement of military and commercial aviation in the United States, and that the level of effort while a small fraction of the agency s total program is very substantial. Roughly 2500 NASA employees supported by funding of about $160,000,000 per year are directly engaged in conducting the research described in "Aeronautics." The frontiers of flight have not all been explored and the applications of NASA s advanced research in aeronautics will continue to keep the United States in first place in commercial and military aviation in the years ahead until someday we will be able to travel as casually from New York to Australia at 6000 mph as millions do now from New York to Paris at nearly 600 mph.
