The Vision of Next Gen

This video, produced by the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO), shows what future air travel might look like. NextGen, or, the Next Generation Air Transportation System. NASA and its fellow members of the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) are creating NextGen by the year 2025 ("MMXXV") to manage increasing air traffic safely and efficiently while reducing its impact on the environment. This JPDO video shows a future aircraft with its wings blended into its body moving cleanly through the sky. It also shows future options for directing air traffic into and out of airports that are more customized to aircraft trajectories.
