The Aeronautical Policy Review Committee believes that now is the time for the U.S. to organize a long-term, aggressive, and positive thrust to remain competitive in the world aeronautics marketplace and secure in our national defense. Specific recommendations for action are: Increase innovative industry R&D efforts given the certainty of intensifying global competition and the importance of new technology of U.S. competitiveness; Aggressively pursue the National Aero-Space Plane program, assuring maturation of critical technologies leading to an experimental airplane; Develop fundamental technology, design, and business foundation for a long-range, supersonic transport in preparation for a potential U.S. industry initiative; Expand domestic research and development collaboration by creating an environment that reflects the new era of global competition; Encourage government aeronautical research in long-term emerging technology areas which promise high payoffs; Strengthen American universities for the basic research and science education through enhanced Government and aerospace industry support and cooperation; Improve the development and integration of advanced design, processing, and computer-integrated manufacturing technologies to transform emerging R&D results into affordable U.S. products; Enhance the safety and capacity of the National Airspace System through advanced automation and electronics technology and new vehicle concepts, including vertical and short takeoff and landing aircraft.
