The Regents of the University of Michigan was awarded a $1,800,000 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Fueling Aviation's Sustainable Transition (FAST) Grant Program (CFDA 20.115) to support projects that accelerate the production and deployment of more environmentally friendly aviation solutions. The grant aims to advance sustainable aviation technologies through two primary tracks: Sustainable Aviation Fuels (FAST-SAF) and Low-Emission Aviation Technologies (FAST-Tech). The University of Michigan will use the funding to create a dataset of scenarios, analyze traffic flows, and develop and test advisory generator algorithms to support the FAA's efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector. Additionally, the University of Michigan has issued a $21,092 sub-award to Nexteon Technologies, Inc. to assist with various tasks related to the project over the first two years.
