This is a $125,000.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Intelligent Automation, LLC, a for-profit subchapter S corporation. The contract is for the development of probabilistic aerodynamic databases to support high-fidelity simulations of aircraft aerodynamics, in order to reduce the need for costly wind tunnel and flight testing early in the aircraft design process. Intelligent Automation has...
This federal contract award is for the development of a new type of plasma-based flow control actuator by CU Aerospace, a for-profit limited liability company, and its partner the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The actuator uses a high-voltage electrode that arcs to a cylindrical grounded electrode within a magnetic field, producing an arc plasma with a Lorentz force that creates a plasma disc. This is intended to enhance mixing and flow attachment across adverse pressure gradients,...
