Advanced Aerospace Vehicle
The term AAV or A.A.V is a reference to a type of IFO (Identified Flying Object), which is a highly advanced aerospace or aeronautics technology that may truly unexplained in regards to origin, but identified in regards to being classified as technology. NASA classified AAVs differently, and states "Future high-speed aircraft and aerospace vehicles using cryogenic propellants will require an advanced reusable insulation system for the propellant tank structure."
AAVs are not the same as UFO<nowiki/>s, which may refer to objects that are natural phenomena or simply unidentified known terrestrial craft. A UFO is truly Unidentified, while AAVs are identified with a potentially unknown origin.
The New York Times has stated the following,
The Pentagon's AATIP program classifies AAV's as Advanced Aerospace technology that is not in any known civilian or military inventory, while other groups like NASA simply may classify them as Advanced Aerospace craft from known sources.
AAVs are also discussed on Science.Gov, "This theoretical cost model, first advocated by early work at MIT, has been expanded to cover the basic structures of an advanced aerospace vehicle. Elemental costs based on the geometry of the design can be summed up to provide an overall estimation of the total production cost for a design configuration."
In a recent article on Space.com, the following statement were made in regards to SpaceX and their AAVs: Vanderbilt draws from a reservoir of observations, and he served up a top-of-the list tenet. "Rule number one of projects is, it will take longer and cost more than you planned…doubly so for advanced aerospace vehicle projects," he said. "Currently, just two reusable human-carrying commercial space vehicles are in flight test mode — SpaceX's Falcon 9 Reusable (F9R) development vehicle/Dragon capsule and Virgin Galactic's SpaceShip2."
"'USAF is far from deciding which missions would be suitable for the TAV or, indeed, whether it will need, or will be able to afford, the spacecraft-aircraft. It is still studying a number of “advanced aerospace vehicle” concepts, including the TAV. But it began taking he TAV idea more seriously, and talking more openly about it, following two main events.
