- Description
- Recovery Act - This competitive action awarded pursuant to the 2008 NationalAeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Research Announcement is partially fundedthrough the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This award will enable thematuration of improved low-boom design tools and validate a design concept through sonicboom, supersonic performance, and propulsion-induced effect wind tunnel testing with anemphasis on shaping of the sonic boom signature. Specifically, the effort includes aphased and gated approach to experimentally validate an N+2, N+2 denotes the 2ndgeneration beyond the current commercial transportation system, supersonic low-boomconfiguration including designing a low-boom aircraft that meets the efficiency,environmental, and performance targets; conducting analysis on the effect of the inletand nozzle plume on the sonic boom and the aircraft efficiency; utilizing synergy oflinear theory and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based design/optimization methods togenerate a wind tunnel test ready supersonic low-boom concept aircraft models meetingaggressive sonic boom requirements.<P>The ARRA funded effort includes delivery of computer aided design (CAD) definition forwind tunnel outer mold line (OML); preliminary boom model mount design and analysis;design, stress analysis, fabrication and inspection of a sonic boom wind tunnel model anda Supersonic cruise performance wind tunnel model including design drawings and supporthardware; and assessment of the suitability of NASA provided test equipment forvalidation testing. The ARRA funded portion is $2,796,179. The total award amount,including ARRA and non-ARRA funding, is $6,676,184. <P>NASAs Supersonics Project is a broad-based effort designed to develop knowledge,capabilities and technologies that support vehicles that fly in the supersonic speedregime. A major focus of the Project is eliminating the efficiency, environmental andperformance barriers to practical supersonic air transportation. One of the projectsinitial research concentrations is the development and validation of sonic boom reductiontechnologies and related vehicle design and analysis processes that could reduce sonicboom noise to levels that allow supersonic flight overland while maintaining adequateefficiency of operation. This award is consistent with NASA's continuing investment inhigh-risk, cutting-edge technologies and is responsive to congressional direction toconduct research on technologies that will enable commercial aircraft to fly over land atsupersonic speeds. <P>This notice is provided for informational purposes only. A cost plus fixed fee contractwas determined to be most appropriate for this procurement because of the uncertainnature of the research activities required cannot be estimated to the level of accuracynecessary to allow the use of a fixed-priced contractual vehicle. <P>
