NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, Aviation Safety Program, has awarded approximately $249,000 to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, for its proposal, “A Damage Resilient Flight Planning and Guidance System for Safe, Collaborative Emergency Planning Management.” The university also will receive approximmately $226,000 for its proposal, “Minimal Modeling Direct Digital Adaptive Flight Control.”
These awards will foster close collaboration with and facilitate the exchange of ideas and information among researchers within NASA, industry, academia and other government agencies to benefit the nation’s aeronautics community.
NASA conducts cutting-edge research to improve the safety of current and future aircraft operating in the National Airspace System. The research will focus on the way vehicles are designed, built, operated and maintained. Scientists and engineers in this program develop principles, concepts, tools, methods and technologies to address four areas: aircraft aging and durability, integrated intelligent flight deck technologies, integrated vehicle health management and integrated resilient aircraft control.
