NASA’s Noise-Testing Tool Finds Applications Beyond Aircrafts
Airplane manufacturers running noise tests on new aircraft now have a much cheaper option than traditional wired microphone arrays. And it’s sensitive enough to help farmers with pest problems. The wireless microphone array that one company recently created with help from NASA can locate crop-threatening insects by listening for sounds they make in fields. And now, it’s making fast, affordable testing possible almost anywhere.
IC2 Wins NASA Phase 2 SBIR for Field Deployable Wireless Data Acquisition System for Ground-Test Arrays
UF startup Interdisciplinary Consulting Corporation (IC2), a technology-development company commercializing miniaturized instrumentation that monitors the health of aerospace propulsion systems and enables reduced aircraft noise and improved fuel efficiency, announced that NASA has selected the company for a new Phase 2 contract from the 2019 SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) program for Field Deployable Wireless […]
Unique Sensors Will Improve Aerodynamic Design, Aircraft Performance
Even after almost 150 years of wind tunnel testing, no commercial product had ever been able to directly measure the localized force that passing air exerts on the surface of a vehicle model—until now. Known in the industry as wall shear stress, or skin friction, the force is a major factor in a vehicle’s drag, […]
