Raytheon Technologies has secured a potential four-year, $13.2 million contract to help the U.S. Navy develop technology to improve the aerodynamics of aircraft engine fans.
NASA has used the Hewlett Packard Enterprise-built Aitken supercomputer to carry out simulations on launch environment and booster separation event at Kennedy Space Center in Florida in preparation for the Artemis manned mission to the moon by 2024.
Boeing installed an aerial refueling store into an MQ-25 unmanned tanker test asset in preparation for flight testing later this year, Seapower Magazine reported Thursday.
Lockheed Martin and NASA have begun high-speed wind tunnel tests on the preliminary design of a supersonic passenger jet at the space agency’s Glenn Research Center in Ohio. NASA said Saturday it will continue to test a nine percent scale model of the Quiet Supersonic Technology X-plane in GRC’s Supersonic Wind Tunnel over the next eight weeks to collect […] More
Boeing and Lockheed Martin‘s joint venture United Launch Alliance has updated the aerodynamic configuration of a rocket designed to launch a crew capsule Boeing is building for NASA‘s Commercial Crew Program. ULA said Thursday the new Atlas V configuration will incorporate an aeroskirt aft of the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft in efforts to extend the vehicle’s service module cylindrical surface and help manage loads margins to maintain acceptable flight levels. […] More
The Ohio Aerospace Institute has won a $13.1 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to provide computational research and development services to the U.S. Air Force. The Defense Department said Monday OAI will work to integrate fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, physics, mathematics and computer science concepts to computationally simulate canonical configuration flows and real-world applications of current and future aerospace and weapons systems and […] More
BAE Systems engineers are testing a scaled version of the company's Typhoon fighter jet in a high-speed wind tunnel setting. The engineers are using a 1/12th scale model of the Typhoon Tranche 3 aircraft for the aerodynamic characteristics testing at BAE’s Warton, Lancashire-based facility, the company said Tuesday. BAE also mounted conformal fuel tanks on […] More
Lockheed Martin has received missile canards from amorphous alloys developer Liquidmetal as the defense contractor prepares to test the Extended Area Protection and Survivability missile interceptor. Liquidmetal, in cooperation with Lockheed's design engineers, used its proprietary precision fabrication process to make the parts nearly identical, Liquidmetal said Tuesday. The companies sought to make the parts tolerant to supersonic flight. Lockheed's […] More
General Electric‘s technology development arm and a U.S. Energy Department laboratory are exploring methods to reduce noise levels and increase the power output of wind turbines. Sandia National Laboratories provided a supercomputer for GE scientists to predict the aerodynamic behavior of wind-turbine blades and gain insights to improve rotor design, GE said Thursday. To address […] More
