The facility provides reliable experimental data to support and validate the analytical methods under development, including widespread fatigue damage (WFD) prediction, repair analysis and design, and new aircraft design methodologies. A compressor is needed to increase the air flow and allow for higher loading rates in support of research being conducted under Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRDA: 07-CRDA-0236) with the Boeing Aircraft Company. 2TASK: This statement of work (SOW) comprises the purchase and installation of an air compressor system able to satisfy the requirements listed in Table 1.
