In 1985 the Aeronautical Policy Review Committee--composed of sixteen leaders of government, industry, and universities--considered the evolving international agencies in aeronautics and America's future in it. In their March 1985 report, "National Aeronautical R&D Goals: Technology for America's Future", the Committee recommended that all sectors of American aeronautics direct their skills and energies toward the highest-payoff technology areas to sustain the nation's leadership position. Toward that end, three specific goals--in subsonic, supersonic, and transatmospheric flight regimes--were established. The Committee believed, in its 1987 report, that sustained U.S. leadership will require greater achievements by all sectors. The Committee believed that this challenge to our competititivenss was so important that it now issued a call to action. This sequel presents a cohesive U.S. strategy and an eight-point action plan to achieve the National Goals and remain a viable competitor in the world aviation marketplace. More
