NASA ANNOUNCES GEORGIA AERONAUTICS RESEARCH AWARDS
WASHINGTON - NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate,
Fundamental Aeronautics Program, Washington, has announced the following
aeronautics research awards to Georgia institutions:
Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta
Proposal Title: Circulation Control Aerodynamics for Very Efficient
High-Lift and Cruise Performance of Subsonic/Transonic Air Vehicles
Approximate Amount: $283,000
Proposal Title: Subgrid Combustion Models for the Next Generation
National Combustion Code
Approximate Amount: $100,000
Georgia Tech Research Corp, Atlanta
Proposal Title: Detection and Control of Instabilities and Blowoff for
Low Emissions Combustors
Approximate Amount: $256,000
Proposal Title: Combustion Powered Actuators (COMPACT) for Aerodynamic
Flow Control on Rotorcraft Blades
Approximate Amount: $210,274
Proposal Title: Control of Vibration Transmission and Interior Noise
Radiation of Composite Shells with Embedded Passive and Active
Periodicity
Approximate Amount: $100,199
These awards will foster close collaboration with and facilitate the
exchange of ideas and information among researchers at NASA, industry,
academia, and other government agencies to benefit the nation's
aeronautics community.
The Fundamental Aeronautics Program is dedicated to the mastery and
intellectual stewardship of the core competencies of aeronautics for the
nation across all flight regimes. The corresponding long-term research
that the program performs is both focused and integrated across
disciplines. Using this research, the program provides feasible
solutions to the performance and environmental challenges of current and
future air vehicles. The results of our pre-competitive research are
widely disseminated and available to support the nation's aerospace
industry. Fundamental Aeronautics concentrates research in four areas:
Subsonic Fixed Wing, Subsonic Rotary Wing, Supersonics, and Hypersonics.
