Critical Research for Aviation's Future

The FAA is committed to enhancing safety and increasing capacity in the national aviation system. This commitment is evident in the Agency's R&D program, which is developing new technologies, tools, and procedures to meet both near- and long-term aviation goals and objectives.

The Airport and Aircraft Safety Research and Development Division manages and coordinates the Airport and Aircraft Safety and Continued Airworthiness Research and Development programs. This work includes research to support regulatory and certification requirements associated with the individual program areas

Our Mission:

To provide a safe global air transportation system by developing technology, technical information, tools, standards, and practices to promote the safe operation of the civil aircraft fleet.
