NASA ANNOUNCES IOWA AERONAUTICS RESEARCH AWARDS
WASHINGTON - NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, Aviation
Safety Program, has awarded approximately $171,000 to Iowa State
University of Science & Technology, Ames, for work described in its NASA
research announcement proposal entitled, "Electromagnetic Nondestructive
Evaluation of Wire Insulation and Models of Insulation Material
Properties."
The program also awarded approximately $138,000 to the Univ. of Iowa,
Iowa City, for work described in its NASA research announcement proposal
entitled, "Operator State Sensor Investigation for Actual Airborne
Applications".
These awards will foster close collaboration with and facilitate the
exchange of ideas and information among researchers within NASA,
industry, academia and other government agencies to benefit the nation's
aeronautics community.
NASA conducts cutting-edge research to improve the safety of current and
future aircraft operating in the National Airspace System. The research
will focus on the way vehicles are designed, built, operated and
maintained. Scientists and engineers in this program develop principles,
concepts, tools, methods and technologies to address four areas:
aircraft aging and durability, integrated intelligent flight deck
technologies, integrated vehicle health management and integrated
resilient aircraft control.
