Aerospace Power & Flight Control Technology
Abstract
This project develops integrated electrical and thermal management components, controls and systems for military aerospace applications. Power component technologies are developed to increase reliability, maintainability, commonality, affordability, and supportability of aircraft and flight line equipment. Research is conducted in energy storage and hybrid power system technologies to enable special purpose applications. Electrical power and thermal management technologies enable future military megawatt level power and thermal management needs. Controls and system integration technologies ensure the interoperability of aircraft, power, thermal, engine and other systems and subsystems. This project supports development of electrical power and thermal management components, controls and systems suitable for applications to legacy and future aircraft platforms including strike and mobility concepts. Lightweight power systems suitable for other aerospace applications are also developed. This project develops technologies that enable maximum affordable capability from manned, remotely-piloted and autonomous aerospace vehicles. Advanced control technologies are developed for maximum vehicle performance throughout the flight envelope and simulated in virtual environments. Resulting technologies contribute significantly towards the development of reliable autonomous or remotely piloted air vehicles, hypersonic aircraft, and extended-life legacy aircraft.
