FAA Lab Partnership Program
The FAA has 32 labs that provide unique capabilities and subject matter experts.
One great feature of being a tenant at the National Aerospace Research & Technology Park (NARTP) is proximity and access to the William J. Hughes Technical Center for Advanced Aerospace, especially its 30+ state-of-the-art laboratories that provide unique capabilities. Recently, the Center initiated a program offering industry access to these labs for certain mutually beneficial research projects. Ranging from Human Factors and Cockpit Simulation to Aviation Fuels Research, the Technical Center for Advanced Aerospace is the epicenter of an invaluable potential resource for researchers from industry, academia, and other government entities. Partnering enables the agency to share its laboratory infrastructure and subject matter expertise with other federal and non-federal entities to advance broader national objectives while sustaining core FAA mission performance. Interested entities work with FAA technical points of contact and FAA laboratory owners to define their requirements and objectives to develop a partnership.
