NASA-FAA Research Transition Team (RTT) Discuss UTM
April 1, 2021
The NASA and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Research Transition Team (RTT) representatives met on March 22, 2021 to discuss the handoff of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management (UTM) research transition products. The UTM project pioneered service-based architecture, complementing the FAA air traffic management (ATM) system for enabling operations for new entrants. The participants also discussed continued collaboration to help ensure NASA’s awareness of the FAA’s UTM implementation plans, as well as the UTM inspired architecture, eXtensible Traffic Management (xTM), for enabling new airspace applications such as Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and Upper Class E Traffic Management (ETM).

Software Tool for Prediction of Local and Regional Noise Impact of UAM Operations is Released
April 1, 2021
The AIRNOISEUAM software was developed by NASA’s Air Traffic Management Exploration (ATM-X) Project to model and predict the local and regional noise impact of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operations. The UAM Subproject released beta version 1.0 of the software on March 4, 2021 to collaborators at NASA Langley Research Center, the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center’s Environmental Measurement and Modeling Division, and the National Institute of Aerospace.
