This collection of short papers provides a helpful account of the development of a number of key aviation technologies: chevron nozzles, winglets, composite structures, ADS-B, synthetic vision systems and FACET. These technologies were chosen to demonstrate the diversity and profound impact NASA has had, and will forever have, on the aviation industry.
