Request for Information (RFI) and Industry Day for NASA ARMD Aeronautics Flight Accelerator

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking information from U.S. industry, academia, and government organizations regarding potential partnerships for research, development, and flight testing under the Aeronautics Flight Accelerator (AFA) initiative. The AFA aims to accelerate U.S. competitiveness by promoting rapid, cost-effective flight experimentation and strengthening the U.S. aerospace industrial base. • The initiative encourages rapid, flight-focused maturation of technologies, including propulsion, airframe concepts, integrated systems, power systems, and more. • NASA is considering funded Space Act Agreements, SBIR/STTR Phase III, and similar partnership mechanisms. • Respondents should assume some level of cost share as part of a future partnership. • The RFI is for planning only and does not constitute a commitment by the Government.
