NASA ANNOUNCES ROTARY WING AIRCRAFT 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" has been amended to
include new topics in support of the Subsonic Rotary Wing Project.
With the amendment, the Subsonic Rotary Wing Project encourages
proposals that advance the state-of-the-art in engine compressor
technology, transmission noise modeling, low-frequency noise effects and
rotorcraft icing methodology. The challenge of the project is to develop
validated physics-based multidisciplinary design and analysis tools for
rotorcraft, integrated with technology development, enabling rotorcraft
with advanced capabilities to fly as designed for any mission. Meeting
this challenge will require innovative technologies and methods, with an
emphasis on integrated, multidisciplinary, first-principle computational
tools specifically applicable to the unique problems of rotary wing
aircraft.
NASA plans to announce additional research topics in other project areas
in the near future. For updates, visit NASA's Research Opportunities Web
site at:

NASA expects that educational institutions, nonprofit organizations and
industry engaged in foundational research will be the primary award
recipients for this announcement. Specific evaluation criteria,
deadlines and points of contact are available in the announcement.
