ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF ON DEMAND AIR MOBILITY: VERTIPORTS, AIRSPACE AND CONCEPTS. THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF AEROSPACE (NIA), WORKING WITH THE MIT INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR AIR TRANSPORTATION (ICAT), CONDUCTED PART I OF THE OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF ON-DEMAND AIR MOBILITY STUDY FROM FEBRUARY 2016 THROUGH JULY 2017. THIS FIRST PART OF THE PROJECT COMPLETED A CASE STUDY IN LOS ANGELES TO IDENTIFY KEY SYSTEM-LEVEL CONSTRAINTS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ON DEMAND MOBILITY (ODM) AVIATION SERVICES IN THE CONTEXT OF URBAN AIR MOBILITY (UAM). PART II OF THE STUDY, TITLED FURTHER ANALYSIS OF THE OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF ON-DEMAND MOBILITY, WAS CONDUCTED FROM JULY 2017 TO JANUARY 2019. PART II EXPANDED THE CASE STUDY METHODOLOGY DEVELOPED IN PART I TO TWO ADDITIONAL CITIES, PRIORITIZED AND CHARACTERIZED THE SEVERITY OF THE IDENTIFIED OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS, AND DEVELOPED INITIAL MODELING TECHNIQUES FOR VERTIPORT OPERATIONS AND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL. THIS WORK WAS PERFORMED UNDER NASA/NIA CONTRACT NO: NNL13AA08B; TASK ORDER NO: 80LARC17F0074. THE INTENT OF THIS NEW TASK IS TO BUILD UPON THE FINDINGS AND OUTPUTS OF THE PART I AND II EFFORTS THROUGH A FOLLOW-ON STUDY. A PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS FOLLOW-ON WORK IS TO REFINE AND MATURE THE MODELS, TOOLS AND ANALYSIS METHODS DEVELOPED IN THE PREVIOUS PARTS OF THE PROJECT INTO A DOCUMENTED DELIVERABLE THAT CAN INFORM DEVELOPMENT OF THE NASA AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT-EXPLORATION (ATM-X) TESTBED FOR USE IN SIMULATION ENVIRONMENTS AND STUDIES. FURTHERMORE, WHERE REQUESTED BY NASA, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE CONTRACTOR WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF UAM CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS (CONOPS) AND TECHNOLOGY ROAD MAPPING THROUGH RESEARCH BRIEFS, TELECONFERENCES, AND PARTICIPATION IN MEETINGS. THE CONTRACTOR WILL INTERFACE WITH OTHER RESEARCH PROGRAMS, SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS, AND CONSULTANTS AS NECESSARY, FOR RESEARCH INTO SPECIFIC TOPICS THAT MAY ARISE.

PATHS TO AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE OPERATIONS FOR URBAN AIR MOBILITY. THE CONVERGENCE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES, SUCH AS ELECTRIC PROPULSION, AUTONOMY, AND NEW BUSINESS MODELS, SUCH AS APP-BASED RIDE SHARING, ARE GENERATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A NEW AVIATION MARKET KNOWN AS URBAN AIR MOBILITY (UAM) TO EMERGE. IT IS ENVISIONED THAT UAM MAY REVOLUTIONIZE MOBILITY WITHIN METROPOLITAN AREAS BY ENABLING A SAFE, EFFICIENT, CONVENIENT, AFFORDABLE, AND ACCESSIBLE AIR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR PASSENGERS AND CARGO. SUCH AN AIR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM COULD BRING AVIATION INTO PEOPLE S DAILY LIVES AND PROVIDE AN AUGMENTATION AND/OR ALTERNATIVE TO OTHER GROUND-BASED TRANSIT MODES, SUCH AS CARS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS TASK IS TO IDENTIFY LIKELY PATHS FOR THE OPERATIONAL INTRODUCTION OF AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS INTO THE ROUTINE OPERATIONS OF UAM TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF SUPPORTING HIGH-LEVEL AUTONOMOUS AUTOMATED SYSTEMS, SUCH AS AUTONOMOUS AIRCRAFT, THAT OBVIATE (OPERATIONALLY AND LEGALLY) THE NEED FOR A HUMAN, PILOT IN COMMAND (PIC) DEDICATED TO EACH FLIGHT (BOTH ON- OR OFF-BOARD). THE OUTPUT OF THE TASK IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE IDENTIFIED PATHS, AN ASSESSMENT OF THE PATH S LIKELIHOOD OF OCCURRENCE, AND AN ANALYSIS THAT DESCRIBES THE TECHNICAL, REGULATORY, AND OTHER DRIVERS OR BARRIERS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH EACH PATH. RESULTS ARE NEEDED AT A RESOLUTION APPROPRIATE TO SUPPORT HIGH-LEVEL DECISIONS FOR FUTURE TECHNOLOGY, METHODS, OPERATING PROCEDURES, DESIGN GUIDELINES, STANDARDS, AND REGULATIONS DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND THE UAM COMMUNITY. THE PRIMARY MOTIVATION OF THIS TASK IS MITIGATION OF ONE OF THE KEY BARRIERS WITHIN NASA S UAM FRAMEWORK. THIS BARRIER IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INDIVIDUAL VEHICLE MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS DRIVER OF THE UAM FRAMEWORK, AND STEMS FROM THE EXPECTED AVAILABILITY AND COST CHALLENGES IN USING HIGHLY-TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED HUMAN RESOURCES (E.G. PILOT, GROUND CREWS, ETC.) ASSOCIATED WITH THE LARGE-SCALE OPERATIONS ANTICIPATED FOR FUTURE UAM SYSTEMS.

TRANSITION PHYSICS AND MODELING FOR HYPERSONIC VEHICLES. NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER HAS FORMED A HIGH-SPEED LAMINAR-TURBULENT TRANSITION (HBLT) TEAM CONSISTING OF RESEARCHERS FROM MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS COLLABORATING IN AN EFFECT TO TACKLE BOUNDARY-LAYER TRANSITION PROBLEMS THAT ARISE IN THE HYPERSONIC FLOW REGIME. THE STUDY OF LAMINAR-TURBULENT BOUNDARY-LAYER TRANSITION IS AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF RESEARCH IN FLOWS OVER HYPERSONIC VEHICLES. THE ACCURATE PREDICTION OF TRANSITION LOCATIONS ON SUCH VEHICLES IS A VITAL COMPONENT OF THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS. THE LANGLEY STABILITY AND TRANSITION ANALYSIS CODE (LASTRAC) IS A PUBLICLY RELEASED CODE (US-PERSON ONLY) FOR BOUNDARY-LAYER TRANSITION ANALYSIS, AND IS BEING USED BY MANY IN THE INDUSTRY AND ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS. FOR HYPERSONIC FLOWS SUCH AS THOSE OVER AN ATMOSPHERIC REENTRY VEHICLE, THERE ARE CHEMICAL REACTIONS TAKING PLACE AND NON-EQUILIBRIUM EFFECTS BECOME IMPORTANT. THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THIS TASK IS TO ENHANCE LASTRAC BY INCORPORATING CHEMICAL AND NON-EQUILIBRIUM CAPABILITIES, WHICH IS CURRENTLY VERY LIMITED. WITH THESE ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES, A WIDER RANGE OF PROBLEMS IN HYPERSONIC FLOWS CAN BE SOLVED. THE WORK PROPOSED HERE IS FOR THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT ALONG THIS LINE TO INCLUDE NONLINEAR CHEMICAL REACTION MODELS IN LASTRAC.

STUDIES OF MATERIAL DAMAGE THROUGH NON-DESTRUCTIVE TECHNIQUES SUPPORT NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER IN RESEARCH RELATED TO THE STUDY OF MATERIAL AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE THROUGH NON-DESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION (NDE) IN GENERAL AND ACOUSTIC EMISSION (AE) IN PARTICULAR. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO ADVANCE NDE METHODS AS TESTING PROCESSES IN SUPPORT OF MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND APPLICATIONS. THE WORK ARISES FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES WITHIN OR RELATED TO NASA S MISSIONS AND CAN SUPPORT NUMEROUS MATERIAL TYPES (METAL, COMPOSITE, OR NEW AND UNIQUE MATERIALS) AND STRUCTURAL TYPES (FROM COMPONENTS TO FULL STRUCTURES) THAT MAY INVOLVE NOVEL COMPLEXITIES. OF INTEREST ARE MANY STRUCTURES FOR AERONAUTICS AND THE NEXT GENERATION OF SPACE VEHICLES AND SATELLITES, WHICH INCLUDE THE ORION CREW MODULE, COMPLEX MULTILAYERED PRESSURE VESSELS, STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE TEST STRUCTURES, AND TEST STRUCTURES THAT ARE YET TO BE NAMED. THIS EFFORT CONTINUES THE WORK CONDUCTED UNDER NIA IDIQ CONTRACT NNL13AA08B, TASK ORDER NNL14AA69T.

REVOLUTIONARY AVIATION TECHNOLOGIES BRANCH (RATB) MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT. THE MISSION OF THE REVOLUTIONARY AVIATION TECHNOLOGY BRANCH IS TO IDENTIFY, RESEARCH, AND DEVELOP INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODOLOGIES THAT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITIES OF FUTURE AIR VEHICLES. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, THE BRANCH: 1) INVESTIGATES AND MATURES HIGH-RISK, HIGH-PAYOFF TECHNOLOGIES BY CONDUCTING EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL RESEARCH 2) DEVELOPS, PERFORMS, ASSESSES, AND APPLIES ADVANCED EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL METHODS AND 3) CONDUCTS MULTIDISCIPLINARY SYSTEMS ANALYSIS STUDIES TO IDENTIFY CRITICAL ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES AND TO DETERMINE THE SYSTEM-LEVEL BENEFITS OF THESE EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES. AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT ON ADVANCED MATERIALS TECHNOLOGIES. THE NEW PARADIGM IN PERFORMANCE DEMANDS MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY OF MATERIALS SYSTEMS WHILE MAINTAINING OR INCREASING STRENGTH AND DURABILITY. RESEARCH PERFORMED UNDER THIS TASK WILL FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AREAS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ELECTROMAGNETIC MEASUREMENTS, STRUCTURAL COMPOSITES, MULTIFUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, NANOCOMPOSITES, LOW TEMPERATURE ELASTOMERIC MATERIALS, NOVEL COATINGS, AND NOVEL INORGANIC-ORGANIC HYBRIDS. THE CONTRACTOR WILL WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER RESEARCHERS TO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM OBJECTIVES AND MILESTONES.
