NASAfunds supersonic aircraft research projects

http://www.aerospace-technology.com/news/newsnasa-funds-supersonic-aircraft-research-projects-4593290

Nasa has awarded $2.3m of grants for research projects to address technical challenges associated with supersonic cruise aircraft.

Universities and industry will jointly develop technologies to tackle sonic booms and high-altitude emissions from supersonic aircraft.

  1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology will study the impact of supersonic cruise aircraft in the stratosphere
  2. Rockwell Collins is working on a display technology to provide a visual representation of sonic booms over the Earth's surface.
  3. Honeywell's is focused on developing a pilot interface to mitigate sonic boom noise.
  4. Wyle Laboratories will evaluate the influence of turbulence on shaped sonic booms
  5. GE Global Research will look at low noise integration concepts and propulsion technologies.
  6. Fidell Associates will work on reducing risk aspects for future testing.
  7. Applied Physical Sciences and University of California will study waveforms and sonic boom perception, and response risk reduction and quiet nozzle concepts for a low-boom aircraft, respectively.
