*1.2.2. Aerospace: NASA general aviation program*

The goal of the NASA General Aviation Program is to reduce public travel times by half in 10 years and by two-thirds in 25 years. To accomplish this goal, NASA and its partners are pursuing development of the revolutionary technologies necessary not only to build the next generation of vehicles for business and personal air transportation but also to train the average person to operate them safely. Low cost composite panels are vital to the success of NASA's program which supports electric aircraft and H.R. 1848, "The Small Airplane Revitalization Act" [6–8].
