About this award
NASA awarded a $2.32 million Cooperative Agreement to Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station on July 15, 2023, to develop design concepts for adaptive geometry optimization in supersonic aircraft. The project, which concludes September 30, 2026, addresses Strategic Thrust 2 of NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate strategic plan by tackling competing performance objectives for overland supersonic flight. Specifically, the research focuses on designing morphing structures that balance efficiency, low emissions, and low acoustic signature—objectives that have proven individually feasible but collectively challenging. The work will develop and document supersonic flight test experiment designs that validate real-time adaptive geometry optimization using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology to respond to vehicle configurations and measured environmental conditions.
The cooperative agreement represents no set-aside competition and will be performed at the awardee's location in College Station, Texas. Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, a research institution within the Texas A&M University System, brings extensive experience in advanced engineering research and development for federal agencies. The project directly supports NASA's broader aeronautics research objectives by expanding the design space available to supersonic vehicle engineers, enabling peak performance across varying operational conditions while meeting competing efficiency and acoustic requirements essential for future commercial supersonic aviation over land.
