This law has the Energy Secretary partner with NASA to develop ultra-efficient aircraft engine technology. Goals include a 10% fuel efficiency gain and a 70% cut in landing and takeoff pollution. It also explores hybrid and fuel cell designs, and authorized $50 million a year from 2006 through 2010.

(a) Ultra-efficient engine technology partnership. The Secretary of Energy must enter into a cooperative agreement with NASA to develop ultra-efficient engine technology for aircraft. (b) Performance objective. The Secretary must set these performance goals for the program: increase fuel efficiency by at least 10%; cut the local air-quality impact of landing-and-takeoff nitrogen oxide emissions by 70%; explore advanced engine concepts, alternate propulsion, and power designs, including hybrid fuel-cell-powered systems; and explore using alternate fuel in conventional or non-conventional turbine engines. (c) Authorization of appropriations. Congress authorized $50,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 for the Secretary to run this program.
