NASA has open sourced Vehicle Sketch Pad (VSP), a geometry modeling tool for conceptual aircraft design. The software rapidly models aircraft configurations without expending the expertise required for traditional Computer Aided Design (CAD) packages. Further development of OpenVSP software will stimulate economic opportunity in aviation and aerospace.

Presenter: Mark Moore
Mark D. Moore has worked for NASA for 29 years, the entire time focusing on conceptual design studies and analysis tools relating to advanced aircraft concepts. He received his Master's degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Stanford University and is currently completing his PhD at Georgia Tech. His research focus has been on powered-lift vehicles, specializing in smaller vehicle classes with open prop-rotor and ducted propulsors. His current research focuses on understanding how to best integrate the emerging technology area of electric propulsion and automation to achieve breakthrough aviation vehicle capabilities. He has authored many technical publications promoting a future vision of distributed and on-demand aviation, with his recent papers highlighting the disruptive technology capabilities of electric propulsion to fundamentally alter current aviation capabilities. Currently his research efforts include advanced concepts relating to On-Demand Mobility, Aerial Robotics, Atmospheric Satellites, and Airborne Wind Turbines.
