Transonic Truss-Braced Wing
The Transonic Truss-Braced Wing aircraft, or TTBW, is a concept aircraft with extra-long, thin wings stabilized by diagonal struts. This design has ...
High Lift Common Research Model
High Lift Common Research Model
This activity, in collaboration with Boeing, seeks to predict the dry air aerodynamics around an iced or uniced vehicle.  Computational icing tools consist ...
Advanced Air Mobility Icing
An emerging aviation industry called Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is seeking to provide safe, sustainable, and more accessible air transportation services ...
Characterization of Low Ice Adhesion Materials
Characterization of Low Ice Adhesion Materials
This effort seeks to characterize ice adhesion properties with the ultimate goal of understanding ice shedding and advancing the development of low ice ...
High Ice Water Content (HIWC) Flight Research
The HIWC flight research addresses turbofan engine power-loss and damage events attributed to the ingestion of high concentrations of ice crystals.  Since ...
Simulated Inter-compressor Duct Research Model (SIDRM)
The Simulated Inter-compressor Duct Research Model (SIDRM) is a test article whose geometry is representative of an inter-compressor duct and strut region ...
Efficient Quiet Integrated Propulsor (EQUIP)
Current icing simulation tools are not fully developed and validated for engines and the associated regulatory environments. Under the EQUIP Technical ...
