Abstract :
As part of its strategic plan, NASA invests in innovative aeronautics research that has significant potential impact on the national economy. The nature of this research, however, is such that the effects are typically not felt until 5-15 years after the research is begun. This paper discusses the use of a spreadsheet simulation model and incremental analysis to study the potential market impact of a particular NASA research project
