The contract is for a research grant focused on "Physics-Informed Machine Learning for the Optimization of Hybrid Rocket Motors." This work does not have a set-aside designation. The contract provides funding for MIT to conduct advanced scientific research and technological development in areas such as aerospace...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AQ50A, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop an unmanned air vehicle capable of autonomous search and rescue missions in forested areas. The $798,211.17 cooperative agreement aims to address the challenges of flight under a tree canopy and coordination between multiple vehicles. The project will develop new algorithms for information-centric autonomy, enabling...
This federal contract award, NNX15AM91A, was issued by the Shared Services Center to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as the prime contractor. The $681,715.00 cooperative agreement supports two goals related to the performance of the D-series boundary-layer-ingesting aircraft. The first goal is to establish the trade-offs between cruise speed and aircraft performance metrics like fuel, emissions, and noise. The second goal is to design a transonic geometry, including aerodynamic outer-mold-lines and engine characteristics, of a D8-type aircraft at a level suitable for experimental and computational fluid dynamics studies. This contract has no set-aside designation. The work is part of the broader "AIRCRAFT AND TECHNOLOGY CONCEPTS FOR AN N+3 SUBSONIC TRANSPORT – PHASE 3" major program focused on advanced aircraft concepts.
