	+ Home Search Aviation Systems		The Aviation Systems Division houses some of the most sophisticated simulation facilities in the world. We support a wide range of research, with emphasis on aerospace vehicles, aerospace systems and operations, human factors, accident investigations, and studies aimed at improving aviation safety. The Division has partnered with numerous NASA programs over the years, as well as with other government agencies, industry, and academia, and is strategically important in meeting the Nation's present and future aerospace needs. FutureFlight Central NASA FutureFlight Central is a national Air Traffic Control/Air Traffic Management (ATC/ATM) simulation facility dedicated to solving the present and emerging capacity problems of the Nation's airports. + Read More Vertical Motion Simulator The Vertical Motion Simulator (VMS) is a unique flight simulation complex that provides researchers with exceptional tools to explore, define, and solve issues in both aircraft and spacecraft design. It offers fast and cost-effective solutions using real-time piloted simulation, realistic sensory cues, and the greatest motion range of any flight simulator in the world. + Read More North Texas Research Station The NASA/FAA North Texas Research Station (NTX), a collaborative effort between NASA Ames Research Center and several Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) organizations, supports NextGen research through field evaluations, shadow testing, simulation evaluations and data collection and analysis. + Read More Laboratories The Air Traffic Management Automation Laboratory (ATMAL), Verification and Validation (V&V), and Air Traffic Control (ATC) Simulation laboratories support air traffic management research, including the development and testing of CTAS. At the heart of the labs is a large multi-user computational environment that is reconfigurable to provide the user with the flexibility to create a simple or complex simulation environment. + Read More
