Abstract
This report covers the period October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023. The Center was established by the authority of FAA solicitation 13-C-AJFE-Solicitation. During that time the ASCENT team launched a new website, which can be viewed at ascent.aero. The next meeting(s) will be held during the months of April and May 2024.
Over the last year, the ASCENT team has made great strides in research, outreach, and education. The team’s success includes the following: • 72 active research projects*. The projects are divided into five main categories: tools, operations, noise, emissions, and alternative fuels, with cross- cutting research in aircraft technology innovation and supersonics. See the project category descriptions for more detail on each category and a summary of the projects. Funding for these projects comes from the FAA in partnership with Transport Canada.
203 publications, reports, and presentations by the ASCENT team. Each project report includes a list of publications, reports, and presentations. A comprehensive list of the publications, reports, and presentations for all projects is available in the publications index.
243 students participated in aviation research with the ASCENT team. ASCENT research projects were supported by 209 graduate students and 34 undergraduate students. Each project report includes the names and roles of the graduate and undergraduate students in the investigator’s research. Students are selected by the investigators to participate in this research.
75 active industry partners involved in ASCENT. ASCENT’s industry partners play an important role in the Center. Industry partners may contribute matching funds, participate on the Advisory Board, or both. Four new industry partners joined the Advisory Board in 2023. Advisory Board members provide insight into the view of stakeholders, advice on the activities and priorities of the Center’s co-directors and ensure research will have practical application. The committee does not influence FAA policy. Industry partners also play a direct role in some of the research projects, providing matching funds, resources, and expertise to the project investigators.
