- Description
- THE NASA GLENN RESEARCH CENTER (GRC) AWARDED UNDER THE AMERICAN RECOVERY ANDREINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 A TASK ORDER FOR ENGINEERING SUPPORT SERVICES UNDER THEPREVIOUSLY AWARDED, COMPETITIVE 8(a) CONTRACT NNC06BA07B WITH ASRC AEROSPACE CORPORATION.<P>NASA Glenn Research Center has committed support for specific efforts under the AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). NASAs Aeronautics Research Program willaccelerate key research in aircraft icing and enhance aviation safety by developingtools and methods for improved safety of materials, flight controls, and flight criticalsystems operating in the future through its Aviation Safety Program. This task willprovide the design of test hardware that will be used in support of testing to validateand verify advanced control methods that effectively mitigate the adverse effects ofaircraft icing.<P>NASA GRC has issued a task order under existing contract NNC06BA07B to procureengineering services to support the design efforts for artificial ice shapes to be usedin a wind tunnel test to determine aerodynamic effects of ice accreted on an aircraftmodel. Aerodynamics is the motion of air as it interacts with an aircraft in flight. Toobtain the iced-aircraft aerodynamics for the simulations, a plan has been developed toconduct wind tunnel experiments using a subscale model aircraft appropriately fitted withartificial ice shapes. These artificial ice shapes must be expertly designed, built,attached to the subscale model aircraft, and verified. Ice accumulated on an aircraftduring flight through clouds at certain conditions disrupts the air flow around theaircraft. This task will require the design of artificial ice shapes for the leadingedges of the main wings, the horizontal tailplane, and the vertical tailplane.<P>THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. <P>A CPAF order is appropriate for this procurement because of the uncertain nature of theresearch/testing support activities required cannot be estimated to the level of accuracynecessary to allow the use of a fixed-priced contractual vehicle.
