; (B) to enable significant increases in energy efficiency and lower life cycle emissions in the aviation system while achieving a step change in noise emissions; and (C) to demonstrate high-speed flight propulsion concepts and technologies. (d) Project elements For each of the projects established under subsection (c), the Administrator shall— (1) include development of X-Planes and all necessary supporting flight assets; (2) pursue a robust technology maturation and flight validation effort; (3) improve necessary facilities, flight testing capabilities, and computational tools to support the program; (4) award primary contracts for design, procurement, and manufacture to United States companies, consistent with international obligations and commitments; (5) coordinate research and flight demonstration activities with other Federal agencies, as appropriate, and the United States aviation community; and (6) ensure that the program remains aligned with the Aeronautics Strategic Implementation Plan, and any updates to the Aeronautics Strategic Implementation Plan. (e) Establishment of advanced materials and manufacturing program The Administrator shall establish an advanced materials and manufacturing technology program consisting of new material developments, from base material formulation through full-scale structural validation and manufacture, that will— (1) draw from and continue the work carried out by, the Advanced Composites Project of NASA; (2) be conducted in partnership with academic and private sector partners, including members of the Advanced Composites Consortium; (3) develop materials and processes that reduce the cost of manufacturing scale-up and certification for use in general aviation, commercial, and military aeronautics; (4) shorten the time necessary to design, industrialize, and certify advanced materials and manufacturing processes, including manufacturing
