Overview:
NEXTOR is a Government-Academic-Industry alliance dedicated to the advancement of aviation
research and technology. NEXTOR is sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Office of Technology Development and Operations Planning.
In collaboration with the FAA and its industry partners, NEXTOR looks to develop an
understanding of how the National Airspace System (NAS) service providers and users
will respond to alternative system architectures, operational concepts, investment
strategies and finance mechanisms. The knowledge and capabilities gained from this
government-sponsored Research Program provides
critical information to executives and senior government officials on a host of issues
ranging from near-term investment choices to long-term strategies.
Through its Knowledge Exchange Program, NEXTOR
researchers, industry members, and government agents present state-of-the art research
to the aviation community. The program offers two to three conferences and seminars per
year on such subjects as NAS Infrastructure Management, Performance Metrics and the Economic
and Social Value of Air Transportation.
In addition, the partnership seeks to increase the breath of aviation operations research
knowledge through its Education Program. More than 100 graduate
students have participated in NEXTOR’s research programs since the organization’s birth in 1996.
Short courses are taught by faculty members and are open to any FAA, federal government, or industry
affiliate employee interested in air transportation systems analysis.
