Abstract	The NASA Aeronautics programs have gone through a major restructuring under the leadership of Dr. Lisa Porter, the new Associate Administrator for Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. This presentation provides an overview of the guiding principles behind the program reorganization and summarizes the flight and propulsion control activities that are spread across various programs and projects. The new Aeronautics program structure consists of 3 major programs: Fundamental Aeronautics (FA) , Aviation Safety (AvS) and Airspace Systems. The flight and propulsion control activities are primarily under the various projects under FA (Subsonic Fixed Wing, Subsonic Rotary Wing, Supersonics, Hypersonics) and the IRAC (Integrated Resilient Aircraft Control) project under AS. The focus under FA is on developing new understanding and tools and techniques to enable design of revolutionary aeronautical vehicles. The focus under SA is to develop tools and technologies that will enable multifold increase in aviation safety. The presentation lists the flight and propulsion control related activities under the 4 FA projects and the IRAC project under SA and provides an overview of the respective technical approaches, milestones and partnering mechanisms with industry and academia.
