NASA in full National Aeronautics and Space Administration Independent U.S. Small Aircraft Transportation System Vision to Life in First 'Per-Seat, On-Demand' Jet Service DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- DayJet([TM]) today named former National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), civilian agency of the U.S. federal government with the mission of conducting research and developing operational programs in the areas of space exploration, artificial satellites (see satellite, artificial), (NASA) chief strategist Dr. Bruce J. Holmes director of air systems research. In this role, Dr. Holmes will work with federal and state agencies to deploy next-generation technologies that will expand the number of small airports DayJet can utilize across the country for its 'Per-Seat, On-Demand' jet service. For more than 30 years, Dr. Holmes has contributed to transforming American air transportation, culminating in a senior executive position as chief strategist at NASA Langley Research Center Langley Research Center (LaRC) Oldest of NASA's field centers, LaRC is located in Hampton, Virginia and directly borders Poquoson, Virginia and Langley Air Force Base. LaRC focuses primarily on aeronautical research, though the Lunar Lander was flight-tested at this facility and a in Hampton, Virginia. He was instrumental in the strategic development of the Next Generation Air Transportation System NextGen or Next Generation Air Transportation System is the name given to the project which is set to completely overhaul the United States national airspace system (NAS). (NGATS NGATS Next Generation Air Transportation System NGATS Next Generation Army Target System ), the creation of the NASA Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments The Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments (AGATE) project is a consortium of NASA, the FAA, the general aviation industry and a number of universities. Its goal is to create a Small Aviation Transportation System (SATS) as an alternative to short-range automotive trips (AGATE) Alliance, and the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS) Project. Dr. Holmes is widely known for his strategic leadership in the emergence of small aircraft and community airports for public transportation and for championing strategies for improving future generations of personal air transportation vehicles, airspace systems and airports. "Through his decade of work with the NASA SATS Project, Dr. Holmes pioneered many of the systems and strategies now in place that will improve personal air transportation in America," said DayJet President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Ed Iacobucci. "He has a clear vision for expanding community access to jet transportation by improving on-board computing, creating advanced flight controls, and implementing automated air traffic separation and sequencing technology. These concepts serve as an essential next step for pervasive 'Per-Seat, On-Demand' jet service, allowing DayJet to increase both the volume of operations and the number of small airports we can utilize across the Southeast. It is an honor to work with such an accomplished scientist." Dr. Holmes has published more than 70 technical papers, received four patents, and directed several research programs fostering technical developments upon which new aviation companies have been formed. He has been honored with numerous NASA and professional society awards including the NASA Outstanding Leadership Medal, NASA Exceptional Engineering Achievement Medal, The National Air Transportation Association Distinguished Service Award and others. "The NASA SATS program was dedicated to researching and developing technical systems to expand personal jet service by increasing the capacity of underutilized airspace and airports," Holmes said. "Joining DayJet gives me the opportunity to make the SATS vision a reality, putting years of research into action." About DayJet DayJet is the pioneer of a new type of regional travel: "Per-Seat, On-Demand" jet service that is uniquely tailored to each customer's individual schedule and priced at a modest premium to full-fare coach airfares. Headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida Delray Beach is a city in Palm Beach County, Florida, USA. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 60,020. As of 2004, the population estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau is 64,150. , DayJet has developed this new industry's first real-time operations system. Combined with the speed and efficiency of Eclipse 500 very light jet (VLJ VLJ Very Light Jet (aircraft) ) aircraft, DayJet has created the next major advance in corporate productivity and regional economic development.
