FY2011 Budget Highlights
The 2011 Budget for NASA Aeronautics provides continued emphasis 
on NASA’s contributions to the NextGen and Green Aviation.
• Two new initiatives ($50M per year) will enhance our 
contributions to NextGen
• The Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) integration into the 
NAS is a five year focused program of systems-level 
research and demonstration of concepts and technologies 
that will enable the development and certification of safe, 
routine operation of unmanned systems in the national 
airspace.
• The V&V of Aviation Flight Critical Systems initiative will 
enable research of V&V methodologies and concepts to test        , 
validate, and certify complex hardware and software systems 
that will perform reliably, securely, and safely as intended.
• Augmenting research to mitigate environmental impacts 
with $20M/yr
