#bjej4 7#b7 ,a healthy1 thriving aviation sector contributes to the quality of life and economic well-being of the ,united ,states4 ,in #bjaf1 the ,federal ,aviation ,administration found that civil aviation accounted for #e4b percent of the ,united ,states gross domestic product1 generated #a4h trillion1 and supported #aj1ijj1jjj jobs4 7#c7 ,existing aircraft technologies contribute to noise pollution that has adverse impacts on the quality of life in affected communities4 ,as air traffic volumes increase and the adoption of performance-based navigation technology proceeds1 the problem of noise pollution is becoming more severe in some areas4 7#d7 ,the ,united ,states has adopted a goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from the ,united ,states aviation sector by #bjej4 7#e7 ,research on technologies to lessen the environmental and noise impacts of aviation is ongoing1 but should accelerate1 and should include work on the further maturation and integration of multiple enabling technologies on production aircraft1 including novel integrated systems at the aircraft level4 #c4 ,national ,aeronautics and ,space ,administration ,initiative on ,reduction of ,greenhouse

7c7 through 7g71 respectively2 and 7#b7 by inserting after subsection 7a7 the following3 7b7 ,research and development initiative on reduction of greenhouse gas and noise emissions from aircraft 7#a7 ,in general ,the ,administrator shall establish an initiative to research1 develop1 and demonstrate new technologies and concepts for the purposes of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from aviation1 including carbon dioxide1 7,,co#b71 nitrogen oxides 7,n,ox71 other greenhouse gases1 water vapor1 black carbon and sulfate aerosols1 increased cloudiness due to contrail formation1 noise emissions from aircraft1 and to enable associated aircraft performance characteristics4 7#b7 ,goals ,the goals of the initiative shall be to-- 7,a7 ensure ,united ,states leadership in research and technology innovation leading to substantial reductions in aviation noise and greenhouse gas emissions2 7,b7 enhance and expand basic research1 and the translation of basic research into applications1 that may lead to transformational advances in reducing aviation noise and greenhouse gas emissions2 7,c7 accelerate research and development that contributes to maturing new technologies for reducing aircraft noise and greenhouse gas emissions2 and 7,d7 obtain and disseminate associated testing and performance data that facilitates the incorporation of new technologies into commercial aircraft development as soon as practicable4 7#c7 ,objectives ,the objectives of the initiative and goals in paragraph 7#a7 shall include-- 7,a7 as soon as practicable1 a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from new aircraft by at least #ej percent compared to the highest-performing aircraft technologies in service as of ,december #ca1 #bjba2 7,b7 noise levels from aircraft throughout all phases of flight that do not exceed ambient noise levels in the absence of flight operations in the vicinity of the flight route2 7,c7 net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft by #bjej2 and 7,d7 demonstrating new technologies developed pursuant to the initiative established under paragraph 7#a7 on regional aircraft intended to enter into service by #bjcj and single-aisle aircraft designed to accommodate more than #abe passengers intended to enter into service by #bjdj4 4 7b7 ,technology focus areas ,in carrying out the research and development initiative established under subsection 7b7 of section #djaab of title #ea1 ,united ,states ,code1 the ,administrator of the ,national ,aeronautics and ,space ,administration shall advance research1 development1 and demonstration projects on promising technologies such as-- 7#a7 advanced subsonic propulsion technology1 design1 and integration2 7#b7 electric and hybrid-electric propulsion1 including battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric systems2 7#c7 airframe concepts and configurations2 7#d7 analysis of technology options1 including cost-benefit analysis of greenhouse gas and noise emissions reduction technologies2 7#e7 analytical tools for system- and system-of-systems-level modeling and integration2 7#f7 airspace operations improvements2 7#g7 noise emission reduction2 and 7#h7 other efforts1 as determined by the ,administration1 that contribute to a sustainable future for aviation4 7c7 ,implementation ,in implementing the initiative established under subsection 7b7 of section #djaab of title #ea1 ,united ,states ,code1 the ,administrator of the ,national ,aeronautics and ,space ,administration shall1 to the extent practicable-- 7#a7 ensure that testing and performance data integrates the results of community acceptance surveys conducted by the ,federal ,aviation ,administration and other relevant studies1 including studies on the impacts of new noise effects from novel propulsion systems and from airspace operations changes2 7#b7 provide testing and performance data on the technologies described in subsection 7b7 to the ,administrator of the ,federal ,aviation ,administration to facilitate the work of the ,federal ,aviation ,administration in identifying new requirements for policy1 infrastructure1 and administrative capacity necessary to enable the safe integration of such technologies on aircraft2 7#c7 pursue partnerships with organizations1 current commercial production aircraft providers1 academic institutions1 small businesses and new entrants1 including partnerships to advance research and development activities related to both regional aircraft and aircraft designed to accommodate more than #abe passengers2 7#d7 include universities1 academic institutions1 and other research organizations in the partnerships under paragraph 7#c72 7#e7 expand basic research2 7#f7 ensure equity in research sponsorship and partnership opportunities with underrepresented students1 faculty1 and minority-serving-institutions2 7#g7 continue to coordinate with the ,department of ,energy on battery technology research2 7#h7 make available the research and development carried out under the initiative established under subsection 7b7 of section #djaab of title #ea1 ,united ,states ,code1 to help enable an industry-wide shift toward aircraft concepts that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and aircraft noise to achieve the goals and objectives under paragraphs 7#b7 and 7#c7 of such subsection2 and 7#i7 continue to support research1 development1 and demonstration of aircraft concepts1 including systems architecture1 materials and components1 integration of systems and airframe structures1 human factors1 airspace planning and operations1 and the integration of related advanced technologies and concepts1 with the goal of carrying out test flights with integrated subsystems by #bjbe4 7d7 ,annual report ,not later than #a year after the date of
