FAA to take part in conference with NASA to talk about future of aviation

The topics range from new technology to the environment to the workforce, but each has a common thread: what's the aviation system going to look like tomorrow? And, perhaps more importantly, what are we doing to be ready?

 

The symposium, to be held 05 - 07-May in Atlantic City, will feature a battery of high-powered speakers to answer those questions. The group will consider not only aviation in the United States but a global perspective as well. Primary areas of focus include research issues related to aviation infrastructure, aircraft and flight vehicles, airports and the environment.
 
The program includes: Dr. John Cavolowsky, acting director of NASA's airspace systems program; Vicki Cox, the FAA's senior vice-president for NextGen and Operations Planning; Dr. Wilson Felder, director of the FAA Technical Center; John Kefaliotis, director of ADS-B for ITT Corp.; and Dr. Karlin Toner, the DoT's senior staff advisor for NextGen coordination.
