- Description
- NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits interest from companiesinterested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market thefollowing technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basisand may include specific fields of use. THE TECHNOLOGY: NASA Langley has developed a new method for calibrating pitot-static air data systemsused in aircraft. Pitot-static systems are pressure-based instruments that measure theaircrafts airspeed. These systems must be calibrated in flight to minimize potentialerror. Current methods that include trailing cone, tower fly-by, and pacer airplane aretime- and cost-intensive, requiring extensive flight time per calibration. NASAs methodcan reduce this calibration time by up to an order of magnitude, cutting a significantfraction of the cost. In addition, NASAs calibration method enables near real-timemonitoring of error in airspeed measurements, which can be used to alert pilots whenairspeed instruments are inaccurate or failing. Because of this feature, the technologyalso has applications in the health usage and monitoring (HUMS) industry. Flight testengineers can be trained to use this method proficiently in 12 days without costlyspecialized hardware.To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to Sean Sullivan, ResearchTriangle International (RTI), at: NASA Langley Research Center, Strategic RelationshipsOffice (SRSO),17 West Taylor St., Mail Stop 218, Building 1212, Room 110 Hampton,Virginia, E-mail: Sean.D.Sullivan@NASA.gov, or phone: 757-864-5055. Please indicate thedate and title of the FBO notice and include your company and contact information.RTI is responsible for aggregating and acknowledging all responses. These responses areprovided to members of NASA Langleys Innovative Partnerships Office within the SRO forthe purpose of promoting public awareness of our technology products, and conductingpreliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for futurelicensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, SRO willfollow the formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register as required. Nofollow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
