NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate has awarded $1,199,978 to United Technologies Corporation of East Hartford, Conn., for work described in its NASA research announcement proposal entitled “High Efficiency Centrifugal Compressors for Rotorcraft Applications.”
Paul Van Slooten is the principal investigator.
The award, made by the directorate’s Fundamental Aeronautics Program, will foster close collaboration with and facilitate the exchange of ideas and information among researchers at NASA, industry, academia, and other government agencies to benefit the nation’s aeronautics community.
The Fundamental Aeronautics Program has the principal objective of overcoming today’s national challenges in air transportation. The program develops focused technological capabilities, starting with the most basic knowledge of underlying phenomena through validation and verification of advanced concepts and technologies at the component and systems level.
