Description

Conference Objectives The Aerospace Propulsion and Power (APP) Program will host an interactive Live Satellite Broadcast and Web-Cast Conference with universities on November 16, 2000, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm (EDT). The purposes of the conference are to preview an upcoming NASA Research Announcement (NRA) with universities and colleges; and to provide opportunities for discussions and feedback. The APP Program has multiple projects covering a broad range of aerospace propulsions research. Each project manager will provide an overview of his/her project and potential research areas for university partnerships. We cordially invite participation from all universities and colleges -- including university research administrators, research scientists and faculty, and anyone who is working on and interested in air-breathing propulsion technologies. Please pass the word and invite your colleagues to tune in, ask questions, and explore new partnerships! Tentative Agenda 1:00-1:10pm Welcoming Remarks- Julian M.

Please provide university name, department, and contact information. NRA Preview -- Revolutionary Aerospace Propulsion Technology (RAPT) This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) will solicit proposals for research and development in the area of revolutionary and innovative aerospace propulsion concepts with the objective of: 7 Advancing science and engineering in the area of air breathing propulsion and /or hybrid propulsion (combined air breathing and chemical propulsion). 7 Developing improved air-breathing engines to power a wide range of advanced aerospace vehicles in all speed ranges -- subsonic, including general aviation aircraft, supersonic, and hypersonic. Improvements include greater component and cycle efficiency; lower gaseous and particulate emissions, reduced coolant penalties, reduced noise levels, and reduced weight materials and structures. 7 Opening the paths to revolutionary and innovative concepts for new or improved aerospace propulsion systems or propulsion system components. 7 Developing innovative concepts for the analysis, design, and measurement technology, which will enable rapid, high confidence, and cost efficient design of revolutionary aerospace concepts. 7 Developing new and emerging technologies, like nanotechnology and biotechnology, which will produce knowledge and techniques that will enable revolutionary engineering materials, devices, and systems. Targeted Release Date: December 2000 Tentative Budget: $3.0M -- $4.0M Number of Awards: 30 -- 40 Grants and Cooperative Agreements On-Going Communication Please visit our web site ( http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/AERO/base/ ) -- we will post the presentations, news, and related activities to keep you up to date. Also, we'd like to hear from you!
