Other Breakout Session Summary Joint NASAFAA ODM Workshop
“Other” Breakout Session Summary Joint NASA-FAA ODM Workshop, Kansas City October 22, 2015 Facilitators: Michael Patterson, Bill Fredericks
Disposition of “Other” Breakout Recommendations (summary and running comments by Ken Goodrich/Michael Patterson, in red) Ø Forming 2 additional roadmap working groups (next 2 slides) • Manufacturing, Integrated Structures, and Community Impact (MISC) (Michael Patterson lead) • ODM Airspace Integration (OAI) (Ken Goodrich, initial lead) Ø Many other recommendations reside well in Electric Propulsion (EP) and Simplified Vehicle Operations (SVO) and will be handled by those working groups Ø Improved certification methods are integral to all working groups and will be integrate into these groups rather than stand alone 9/5/2021 2
ODM Airspace Integration Ø Digital data-link between aircraft and ATC Ø High-density operations Ø Networked aircraft Ø Decentralized ATM • Aircraft self-separation • Can pull from UAS technologies • Automated and optimized ATM Ø Interaction with UAS traffic Ø Interaction between ground traffic management and air traffic • Uber with air vehicles – want car to be waiting for you when you arrive at airport 9/5/2021 3
Manufacturing, Integrated Structures, and Community Impact (Slide 1 of 2) : Manufacturing and Integrated Structures Ø 3 -D printing/additive manufacturing • Including hybrid manufacturing: utilize 3 -d printed structure in part of conventional composite layup Ø Materials characterization/inspection for additive manufacturing • Design handbook including “casting factors” (safety factors) for additive manufactured materials Ø Automated composite layup Ø Flexible robotic manufacturing Ø Recurring and non-recurring cost studies (for new manufacturing techniques) • Compare alternative production systems based on process time and investment • Find “tipping points” where additive manufacturing, automated composite layup, etc. are beneficial Ø Multifunctional structures, for example • Structural batteries / energy storage • Morphing/deployable structures Ø Crashworthy structures • Occupant protection • Energy absorption 9/5/2021 4
Manufacturing, Integrated Structures, and Community Impact (Slide 2 of 2): Acoustics Ø Perception & human response design and certification requirements Ø Liner technologies Ø Design tools, methods, and studies for low-noise propulsors Ø Acoustic metamaterials Ø Shielding / directed noise Ø Active noise control/damping • Variable/specific prop tip speed to reduce noise Ø Quiet ducted fan design/materials Ø Motor/controller noise (e. g. , rim-driven motors) 9/5/2021 5
Lightly process inputs from “Other” breakout sessions…
More flexible Methods for means of compliance Ø Enable continuous production and product changes/improvements Ø Certification by analysis Ø Delineation between major/minor changes Ø Clarification between process and product changes Improving certification processes is an over riding goal and will be integral to the four working groups 9/5/2021 7
Acoustics Ø Perception & human response design and certification requirements Ø Liner technologies Ø Design tools, methods, and studies for low-noise propulsors Ø Acoustic metamaterials Ø Shielding / directed noise Ø Active noise control/damping • Variable/specific prop tip speed to reduce noise Ø Quiet ducted fan design/materials Ø Motor/controller noise (e. g. , rim-driven motors) Part of formed Manufacturing, Integrated Structures, and Community Impact working group. 9/5/2021 8
Efficient Air Traffic Integration (Management) Ø High-density operations Ø Digital data-link between aircraft and ATC • We have today apparently Ø Networked aircraft Ø Decentralized ATM • Self-separation • Can pull from UAS technologies • Automated and optimized ATM Ø UAS traffic interaction Ø Interaction between ground traffic management and air traffic • Uber with air vehicles Formed ODM Airspace Integration working group given the importance of airspace to ODM feasibility. OAI initial contact point is Ken Goodrich 9/5/2021 9
Manufacturing and Structures/Materials Ø 3 -D printing/additive manufacturing • Hybrid: utilize 3 -d printed structure in part of conventional composite layup Ø Automated composite layup Ø Multi-functional structures • Energy storage • Energy collection (solar panels) • Integrated systems (eg part of structure is circuit board) Ø Deployable/morphing structures (including propellers) Ø Flexible robotic manufacturing Ø Materials characterization/inspection • Design handbook including “casting factors” (safety factors) Ø Recurring and non-recurring cost studies (process time and investment; compare alternative production systems) 9/5/2021 Part of formed Manufacturing, Integrated Structures, and Community Impact working group. Initial lead is Michael Patterson 10
Infrastructure Ø Utilization of airports OAI • Make airports ‘multi-use’ § (put manufacturing capabilities there? ) § Information distribution Ø Electric (charging, electrical grid, battery swaps, etc. ) • Electrolyte-based, hydrogen-based EP Ø UAS/autonomous manned aircraft have new needs? Ø Economic studies Ø System study into need for building new “vertiports” or sharing spaces such as soccer fields Ø System studies into things happening in auto industry and how it impacts aviation (All working groups) Ø Thermal ground support equipment (e. g. , heating batteries, on hot day pre-cool fuel) (EP) Ø New ground infrastructure on ground so we don’t have to carry equipment in the air • Eg. , cooling fuel, don’t have to have life jackets because you’ll get them (EP, SVO) Items delegated to appropriate working group 9/5/2021 11
System Energy Management Ø Recovery of waste heat Ø Radiator design methods/tools 9/5/2021 Topics fit within (EP) 12
Public Perception Ø Outreach Ø (School-based) education Ø Decreased downwash velocities (from propulsors; really a perceived safety) Work packages should consider public perception and outreach issues and activities in their products 9/5/2021 13
Aerodynamics Ø Utilize past research Ø Laminar flow (fuselage) Ø Boundary layer ingestion Ø Tip propellers Ø Propulsion-aero/airframe integration • Specifically off-nominal operations Ø New high-lift technologies Aerodynamics integrated with EP working group 9/5/2021 14
Safety Ø Steerable BRS/full airplane parachutes MISC • Consider survivability in water after using chute MISC Ø Air bags (full aircraft, better interior) Ø Complete powertrain redundancy (from energy source to propulsor) Ø Crashworthiness MISC • Crumple zones • Energy absorbance structures Ø Adaptive reserve requirements • Consider landing wait times Ø Minimizing crash damage to ground assets Ø Battery crashworthiness/design requirements 9/5/2021 Crosscuts EP, SVO, OAI Crosscuts EP, SVO, MISC EP 15
