Iannotta talks about NASA's four percent budget. Many people would love to fly from point A to B faster, on the most efficient route possible, with fewer delays, propelled by engines that won't choke on ice and that fly with the least possible environmental impact. NASA is working with the aviation industry and in some cases the FAA to achieve all those objectives. Some of what's been accomplished so far is visible when looking out the terminal window. Many airliners now have drag-reducing winglets. Damage-tolerant fan casings protect fuselages in the unlikely event an engine's blades fly apart. NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate has assembled a diagram depicting "decades of contributions to commercial aviation."
