Subsonic Vehicle Technologies and Tools (SVTT) Project

NASA’s Subsonic Vehicle Technologies and Tools (SVTT) project develops technologies and tools for various types of aircraft that fly in different speed regimes, including next-generation vertical take-off and landing and fixed-wing subsonic aircraft. The research advances knowledge, technologies, and concepts that enable major steps to lowering operating costs of the next-generation single-aisle aircraft.

SVTT also develops computer modeling and simulation tools to study the noise and performance of multi-rotor urban air mobility (UAM) vehicles. Its subsonic aircraft research enables revolutionary advancements in future aircraft performance to keep the nation ahead of global competitors.

The project works to advance the next-generation single-aisle aircraft through efficient airframes, reduced fuel consumption and noise, and propulsion-airframe integration. Project research benefits U.S. industrial competitiveness in the subsonic transport aircraft market and will open new markets for U.S.
