NASA must launch a research initiative with universities and industry to develop cleaner, quieter commercial aircraft technology. Goals include takeoff and landing noise no louder than the surroundings, without raising energy use or nitrogen oxide emissions. It also targets big cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, compared to 2008-era planes.

NASA's Administrator must set up an initiative -- involving NASA, universities, industry, and other research groups as appropriate -- to research, develop, and demonstrate, in a real-world setting, technology aimed at these commercial aircraft goals: (1) Noise levels: Takeoff and landing noise no louder than the ambient noise already there when no flights are happening near the airports these aircraft would normally use -- without increasing energy use or nitrogen oxide emissions compared to aircraft flying commercially as of October 15, 2008. (2) Greenhouse gas emissions: A significant cut in greenhouse gas emissions compared to aircraft flying commercially as of October 15, 2008.

The Administrator shall establish an initiative involving the Administration, universities, industry, and other research organizations as appropriate, of research, development, and demonstration, in a relevant environment, of technologies to enable the following commercial aircraft performance characteristics:

(1)Noise levels.—

Noise levels on takeoff and on airport approach and landing that do not exceed ambient noise levels in the absence of flight operations in the vicinity of airports from which such commercial aircraft would normally operate, without increasing energy consumption or nitrogen oxide emissions compared to aircraft in commercial service as of October 15, 2008.

(2)Greenhouse gas emissions.—

Significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions compared to aircraft in commercial services as of October 15, 2008.
