About this award
This is a federal contract awarded by the Langley Research Center, a civilian agency within NASA, to the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA), a non-profit research and education institute. The $164,057.67 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract tasks NIA with assessing aircraft certification procedures for emerging technologies, with a focus on Part 23 rules but also considering Parts 33 and 35 as applicable. This "initial assessment" will identify gaps in existing regulations and standards due to new technologies, using NASA's X-57 Maxwell distributed electric propulsion demonstrator as an example. The goal is to establish a framework for future collaborative efforts to improve certification processes for novel aircraft systems. There is no set-aside designation for this contract.
Description
Initial assessment of aircraft certification procedures for emerging technologies. This task order will identify gaps that may exist due to emerging technologies in both new certification rules and existing standards used as means of compliance to these rules for normal category aircraft. A process will be created to help identify gaps, as well as map known technology development programs that may be suitable for a means of compliance. This information will be developed with input from, and dialogue with, the regulatory community and relevant standards organizations. NASA s x-57 maxwell distributed electric propulsion flight demonstrator will be used as an example to test the current state of regulations and means of compliance, since detailed information is available on its design and performance characteristics. Though the initial focus of this effort will be under 14 CFR part 23, other parts in scope include part 33 (aircraft engines) and part 35 (propellers) as appropriate. Where gaps are found, data and procedures from current and previous NASA activities will be shared as relevant to the known gaps. This work includes several opportunities to interface with regulators and consensus standards members, and will use this anchor study to help establish the framework for future collaborative effort to improve the state of certification procedures for new aircraft technology.
