STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) SMAAART TASK TITLE: LOW-BOOM FLIGHT DEMONSTRATOR (LBFD) CONCEPT REFINEMENT STUDY 1.0 INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: THE OVERALL GOAL OF THE NASA FUNDAMENTAL AERONAUTICS PROGRAMS HIGH SPEED PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AND VALIDATE THE TOOLS, TECHNOLOGIES, AND CONCEPTS TO OVERCOME THE BARRIERS TO PRACTICAL HIGH-SPEED VEHICLES. DURING THE 2013 - 2017 TIME PERIOD, THE HIGH SPEED PROJECT HAS PLACED A PRIORITY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOOLS AND INTEGRATED CONCEPTS THAT WILL ENABLE DEMONSTRATION OF OVERLAND SUPERSONIC FLIGHT WITH AN ACCEPTABLE SONIC BOOM. TWO OF THE HIGH SPEED PROJECTS TECHNICAL CHALLENGES IN THIS TIME FRAME RELATE TO THIS PRIORITY. THEY ARE LOW SONIC BOOM DESIGN TOOLS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SONIC BOOM COMMUNITY RESPONSE METRICS AND METHODOLOGIES. THE HIGH SPEED PROJECT ALSO HAS A TECHNICAL CHALLENGE OF ACHIEVING ACCEPTABLE AIRPORT COMMUNITY NOISE. IN ADDITION TO THESE NEAR-TERM TECHNICAL CHALLENGES, THE HIGH SPEED PROJECT CONTINUES TO INVEST IN LONGER-TERM RESEARCH ON OTHER BARRIERS TO HIGH-SPEED AIRCRAFT SUCH AS HIGH ALTITUDE EMISSIONS, CRUISE EFFICIENCY, AEROSERVOELASTICITY, FLIGHT SYSTEMS, AND SCRAMJET PROPULSION. THE SELECTION OF THESE TECHNICAL CHALLENGES DESCRIBED ABOVE WAS BASED ON SUCCESSFUL FUNDAMENTAL AERONAUTICS SUPERSONICS PROJECT RESEARCH CONDUCTED OVER THE PREVIOUS SEVERAL YEARS. ALTHOUGH BROADER IN OVERALL SCOPE THAN THE HIGH SPEED PROJECT, THE SUPERSONICS PROJECT ALSO CONTAINED ELEMENTS THAT FOCUSED ON LOW SONIC BOOM DESIGN AND SONIC BOOM COMMUNITY RESPONSE. THIS WORK CULMINATED IN THE 2009 AWARD OF THE N+2 SYSTEMS VALIDATION CONTRACTS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THESE NASA RESEARCH ANNOUNCEMENT (NRA)-FUNDED EFFORTS WAS TO EVALUATE TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR SUPERSONIC CIVIL AIRCRAFT DESIGN. THE STUDIES HAVE HELPED VALIDATE THESE TOOL SETS AND TECHNOLOGIES THROUGH SUCCESSFUL WIND TUNNEL TESTING OF SCALE MODELS. THE NEXT CRITICAL STEPS IN OVERCOMING THE BARRIER TO OVERLAND SUPERSONIC FLIGHT ARE FLIGHT VALIDATION OF THESE TOOLS ... is a federal award for Nasa Shared Services Center held by Boeing Company, the.
