The Boeing Company received a $199,149.60 cooperative agreement award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to support the Aeronautics mission area. The primary goal of the Hi-Rate Composite Aircraft Manufacturing (HICAM) project is to demonstrate manufacturing approaches and associated technologies for large composite airframe structures that enable a four to six times production rate increase without cost increases. The award period is from June 4, 2021 through June 30, 2022. NASA's Aeronautics mission draws support from the Agency's expertise in aeronautical engineering and core research areas within the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, as outlined in the federal Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance program number 43.002.
