This bill reauthorizes through FY2024 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate.

NASA must establish 

  • a low-boom supersonic aircraft program or project to demonstrate supersonic aircraft designs and technologies to reduce sonic boom noise levels;
  • a subsonic flight program of flight technology demonstrations that use existing aircraft and multiple large-scale X-Plane demonstrators to demonstrate aircraft vehicle and propulsion concepts and technologies;
  • an advanced structures, materials, and manufacturing program; and
  • the 21st Century Aeronautics Capabilities Initiative to ensure that it possesses the infrastructure capabilities and tools necessary to conduct flight demonstration projects across the range of NASA aeronautics interests.
