Members of the media and public are invited to participate in NASAโ€™s imaginAviation, a three-day virtual event that will focus on the future transformation of aviation that begins Tuesday, March 1.

Notable speakers include NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy, Bob Pearce, associate administrator for the agencyโ€™s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, Simon Sinek, author of The Unshakable Optimist, and Kathryn Jablokow, from the National Science Foundation.

Among other topics, NASA researchers will discuss efforts to improve the sustainability of aviation while contributing to the Biden-Harris Administrationโ€™s efforts to tackle climate change.

Participants will have opportunities to learn how NASA aeronautics projects and technologies are building a safer flying experience for all. They will engage real-time with agency subject matter experts and industry leaders, learn about NASA STEM engagement with K-12 and university students, and hear how NASA will transform the future of aviation.

The showcase will provide attendees an opportunity to experience NASAโ€™s โ€œGateway to Aviation Transformationโ€ through the eyes of the University Innovation, Convergent Aeronautics Solutions, and the Transformational Tools and Technologies projects, all within NASAโ€™s Transformative Aeronautics Concepts Program.

This yearโ€™s event will include technology maturation and market infusion potential with support from industry, other government agencies, and NASA Aeronauticsโ€™ Advanced Air Vehicles, Airspace Operations and Safety, and Integrated Aviation Systems Programs.
