  • ""The goal of this publication is to provide an overview of the topic of revolutionary research in aeronautics at Langley, including many examples of research efforts that offer significant potential benefits, but have not yet been applied. The discussion also includes an overview of how innovation and creativity is stimulated within the Center, and a perspective on the future of innovation. The documentation of this topic, especially the scope and experiences of the example research activities covered, is intended to provide background information for future researchers. By nature, the technical interests of the aircraft industry--and by necessity those of NASA--are highly cyclical and often shaped by external factors. For instance, laminar flow control and powered lift tend to reemerge in priority every two decades or so. Being able to go back and review what has been done in the past is quite valuable. Hopefully, reviewing the extent of specific past projects will identify appropriate points of departure to advance these concepts to future applications. With this background, repetitive or unproductive research options might be filtered at an early stage in order to avoid so-called "reinvention of the wheel." In addition, discussions of specific technical challenges that blocked the application of the example concepts will prove to be valuable in the future, if breakthroughs in enabling technologies result in removal of the past barriers. Examples of such occurrences include advances in composite fabrication technology permitting the previously unacceptable application of forward-swept wing configurations, and the introduction of turbofan engines (with relatively cool exhaust flow) permitting the use of externally-blown flaps for high-lift configurations."--p. 2."
