NASA Seeking Proposals To Develop Subsonic Aircraft That Reduces Cost, Aviation Emission
WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - NASA is seeking proposals from U.S. companies for ground and flight demonstrations of integrated megawatt-class powertrain systems to design and develop subsonic aircraft that help reduce aviation emissions and invigorate the U.S. economy.
The US space agency said it plans to build hybrid aircraft using integrated Electrified Aircraft Propulsion (EAP) technologies and associated EAP vision systems for introduction into the U.S. and global fleet by 2035. Integrated EAP concepts are rapidly emerging as potentially transformative solutions to significantly improve the environmental sustainability of the next generation of subsonic transport vehicles.

A helicopter provides security for the NASA astronauts as they are driven in in their AstroVan to the space shuttle Discovery on launch pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center as they prepare for lift off May 31, 2008 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The Space Shuttle will be carrying the main unit of Japan s Kibo science lab to the International Space Station.
According to Yahoo Finance s latest report, NASA wants to focus on enhancing the modeling tools for future planes that use an EPA system or Electrified Aircraft Propulsion system. The space agency also said that it will soon advance future EAP aircraft design.
