NASA announced that it had signed a MOU agreeing to collaborate with the U.S. Army on aeronautics research. The agreement focused on rotorcraft aeronautics and included avionics, aeromechanics, propulsion, flight dynamics and control, safety and airspace management, and vehicle structures. The agreement would ensure the free exchange of information, enabling NASA and the Army to reduce duplication and enhance long-term research planning. NASA’s Associate Administrator for the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate Lisa J. Porter remarked that, although NASA and the Army had different missions, they shared the common goal of pursuing innovative research and faced common challenges in research related to the rotorcraft’s payload, range, noise, and efficiency.
