About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center awarded a $540.08 million cost-plus-incentive definitive contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation for design, construction, and flight validation of the Low Boom Flight Demonstrator (LBFD) research aircraft on April 2, 2018, with ultimate completion by December 11, 2026. The contract carries no set-aside designation.

The LBFD aircraft is engineered to create a shaped sonic boom signature with a calculated loudness level of 75 PLDB or less during supersonic cruise at Mach 1.4 or below, enabling validation of technologies applicable to low sonic boom aircraft and development of a community response database for supersonic overland flight standards. Place of performance is Palmdale, California.

Lockheed Martin Aerostructures serves as the prime integrator, drawing on its core capability in aircraft structures and aerostructures for research and development platforms. Teaming includes Moog Inc. (Torrance Operations) for power drive units, linear actuators, and flap hydraulic systems; North Atlantic Industries for circuit card assemblies, electronic components, and testing; Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation (Collins Aerospace) for environmental control systems and flight test support; Denmar Technical Services for flight-test engineering and structural integrity consultation; Collins Aerospace Government Systems for avionics and ground/flight test support; General Electric Aviation for engine engineering support; Talon Aviation LLC for L-39 jet trainer aircraft lease and pilot training; and specialist vendors including Moog, DNB Engineering, Rockwell Collins, Honeywell, GP Strategies, and Gossamer Aerospace for subsystem components, testing, and engineering services. Multiple subcontractors provide electronic components, hose assemblies, machined parts, and specialized testing capabilities spanning electromagnetic compatibility, lightning strike simulation, and environmental validation.

Description

As the agency reported it.

The low boom flight demonstrator (lbfd) contract is for the design, construction, and flight validation of a research aircraft that creates a shaped sonic boom signature with a calculated loudness level of 75 pldb [perceived level (PL), decibels (DB)] or less during supersonic cruise (mach = 1.4) flight.
