AAVP develops technologies for all flight regimes from hover to hypersonic to enable safe, new aircraft that are faster, quieter, and more fuel efficient.<\/p>\n<p>AAVP develops a broad range of technologies that maintain U.S. leadership in aerospace, benefitting the nation\u2019s economy and quality of life. AAVP\u2019s research primes the technology pipeline, bolstering U.S. competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>For subsonic transport aircraft, AAVP accelerates development of key technologies to ensure they will be ready by the late 2020s to transition into U.S. industry\u2019s next-generation single-aisle transport aircraft. AAVP also explores high-risk, high-payoff concepts for future generations of aircraft. The program engages with partners from industry, academia, and other government agencies to maintain a broad perspective on technology solutions to aviation\u2019s challenges, to pursue mutually beneficial collaborations, and to leverage opportunities for effective technology transition.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AAVP Projects<\/h3>\n<p>High Speed Flight (HSF)<\/p>\n<p><a
