This is a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to M4 Engineering, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation. The contract, valued at $749,816, is for the advancement of curvilinear "sparibs" technology to improve the aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic performance of subsonic transport wings. The objective is to design and test a subsonic transport wing with better aeroelastic behavior, leveraging emerging manufacturing techniques like electron beam free form fabrication and friction stir welding that enable the production of integrated, curved wing substructures. This represents a departure from traditional "wing box" designs using straight spars and ribs. The contract aims to advance this technology to a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 5-6, or potentially 6-7 in a subsequent Phase III effort.
