NASA ANNOUNCES AERONAUTICS RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
WASHINGTON -- NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate has
amended its NASA Research Announcement to solicit additional research
proposals. The "Research Opportunities in Aeronautics 2007"
announcement solicits proposals for the Hypersonics project in
several new areas.
The Hypersonics project will focus the research on some of the
toughest challenges in the field. They include the development of
materials for airframe and propulsion applications that can withstand
severe temperatures for extended periods of time. The research also
will look to develop predictive models for compressible flow,
turbulence, heating, ablation, combustion, and their interactions.
Other research will focus on the creation of advanced control
techniques for vehicles that fly in the hypersonic flow regime as
well as the generation of new experimental techniques that can be
used to validate theoretical and computational models. In addition,
the project seeks to develop propulsion systems that integrate
high-speed turbine engines or rockets and scramjets, and will tie
together all of the close interactions among the airframe, inlet,
nozzle, and propulsion systems.
Specific evaluation criteria, deadlines and points of contact for
these research topics and other project areas are available in the
announcement at:
