- Description
- RFI for Research Aircraft In order to meet future anticipated NASA airborne research platform needs, a large business class aircraft is anticipated to be required. NASA is looking to replace several aging Public Use government research aircraft with more modern aircraft (1-2 total) with performance and equipment capabilities to enable the full span of current and projected science and aeronautics research and development (R&D) missions. The aircraft will be operated as a "State Aircraft" under Federal Air Regulations (FAR) Part 91 and will be assigned a NASA airworthiness certification. The research aircraft will be used on long-duration/range, high-altitude remote sensing missions, as well as, low-altitude atmospheric sampling missions with approximately 90% of flight time at altitudes over 20,000 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL). NASA desires an aircraft capable of full international operations with a modified cabin with reconfigurable seating and research instrumentation packages. Some missions require in-situ sensors mounted on pylons to perform atmospheric measurements, others desire nadir and ventral portals that can be fitted with optical or specialty windows to enable remote LIght Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) measurements.
