The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded Electroimpact Inc. a $107,099 cooperative agreement under the Aeronautics program (CFDA 43.002) on August 12, 2021 to demonstrate manufacturing approaches and technologies for large composite airframe structures. The goal of the Hi-Rate Composite Aircraft Manufacturing project is to enable a four to six times increase in aircraft production rates without increased costs. Electroimpact will work to develop manufacturing processes and technologies that can produce large composite aircraft components more quickly and efficiently to support NASA's aeronautical research mission of advancing air travel. The period of performance for this cooperative agreement is from August 12, 2021 through June 30, 2022 in Mukilteo, Washington.
