Agate Outcomes Analysis: Using the Foundation for SATS

This study explored the policy implications of a specific jointly funded government-industry-academic research and development initiative on future planning. The researcher sought to uncover what trends or patterns of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments (AGATE) had a positive affect on the outcomes of the consortium. By identifying these trends, the research may be able to help foster a more practical transition to follow-on programs. AGATE focused on developing innovative cockpit technologies that highlighted safety, affordability, and ease-of-use based in such areas as flight systems and integrated design and manufacturing. A quantitative analytic methodological approach encompassing qualitative data analysis software and the policy research construct was applied to analyze the organizational policy trends through the application of lessons learned from the AGATE program with reference to the current NASA program-the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS). Both NASA programs consist of a similar participant pool. By examining the effects of recommendations from previous studies, this analysis illustrated the transitional effects identified through the analysis. This planning framework illustrated the evolution of program and goal structure and the catalytic effect on the aviation industry and product development through increased interaction

\u3ci\u3ePartnership and the Revitalization of Aviation: A Study of the Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments Program, 1994-2001\u3c/i\u3e

UNOAI Report 02-5 As the Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments (AGATE) program completes its eight-year plan, the outcomes and industry effects reveal its successes and problems. AGATE engaged several different types of institutions, including federal agencies, business and industry, universities, and non-profit organizations. By examining the perceptions of those intimately involved as well as periphery members, this study shows the powerful consequences of this type of combination both now and in the future. The problems are a particularly useful illustration of the inter-working of a jointly funded research and development initiative. By learning how these problems are addressed, the study reveals lessons that may be applied to future government-industry partnerships.https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/facultybooks/1144/thumbnail.jp

Journal of Air Transportation, Volume 10, No. 1

The mission of the Journal of Air Transportation (JA is to provide the global community immediate key resource information in all areas of air transportation. The goal of the Journal is to be recognized as the preeminent scholarly journal in the aeronautical aspects of transportation. As an international and interdisciplinary journal, the JAT will provide a forum for peer-reviewed articles in all areas of aviation and space transportation research, policy, theory, case study, practice, and issues. While maintaining a broad scope, a focal point of the journal will be in the area of aviation administration and policy

NASA ALLIANCES: COLLABORATION WITHIN PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS

This study explores collaboration between partners involved in public-private alliances formed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA). A brief analysis based on the comparative case study approach will be used to examine the formation and operation of two NASA research and development alliances: Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments (AGATE) and Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS). Literature on collaboration helps to frame the basis for this study. By exploring the development and interaction of these relationships, this study establishes the elements that facilitate collaboration. The importance of partnerships and collaboration with SATS and other aviation initiatives is advancing with government support. At a recent Congressional hearing, Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta said, “The Department of Transportation is going to help SATS go from R&D [research and development] to implementation…implementation is already happening…the next generation national air transportation system plan will make the number of operations go up rapidly… SATS is very important to this and our future” (Future of Air, 2004). The study provides a foundation for future research into the varied public-private partnerships that constitute SAT
