TLDR
In this paper, the benefits and barriers of seamlessly integrating a class of commercial supersonic transport (CST) aircraft into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NAS) were discussed.Abstract:
Several businesses and government agencies, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration are currently working on solving key technological barriers that must be overcome in order to realize the vision of low-boom supersonic flights conducted over land However, once these challenges are met, the manner in which this class of aircraft is integrated in the National Airspace System may become a potential constraint due to the significant environmental, efficiency, and economic repercussions that their integration may cause This document was developed to create a path for research and development that exposes the benefits and barriers of seamlessly integrating a class of CSTs into the NAS, while also serving as a Concept of Operations (ConOps) which posits a mid- to far-term solution (2025-2035) concept for best integrating CST into the NAS Background research regarding historic supersonic operations in the National Airspace System, assumptions about design aspects and equipage of commercial supersonic transport (CST) aircraft, assumptions concerning the operational environment are described in this document Results of a simulation experiment to investigate the interactions between CST aircraft and modern-day air traffic are disseminated and are used to generate scenarios for CST operations Finally, technology needs to realize these operational scenarios are discussedread more

TL;DR: The U.S. commercial space launch industry has changed considerably since the enactment of the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004 as discussed by the authors, which prohibited FAA from regulating crew and spaceflight participant safety before 2012, a moratorium that was later extended but will now expire on September 30, 2015.

Integrated Trajectory-Based Operations for Traffic Flow Management in an Increasingly Diverse Future Air Traffic Operations
TL;DR: A framework for combining and advancing NASA efforts to improve arrival and departure demand management by integrating select NASA TBO capabilities with the Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS), Time-Based Flow Management (TBFM), and the Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM) tools to enable TBO across the NAS is described.

TL;DR: The panel’s conclusions include that DIO systems in the United States and Japan are based on common, integrated technologies to provide a spectrum of services and Japan has a clearly articulated national information infrastructure policy that views DIO as critical to “an advanced information society.”
Controller Support Tools for Schedule-Based Terminal-Area Operations
TL;DR: A human-in-the-loop simulation demonstrated that arrival schedule timelines, timelines plus ‘slot marker’ circles, and timelines/slot markers plus speed advisories all enabled controllers to manage arrivals according to the runway schedules and maintain safe separation while keeping aircraft on their assigned routes.
