The use of cryogenic solid hydrogen as a rocket propellant may lead to major advances in rocket propulsion. To use solid hydrogen as a propellant requires a system designed to solidfy, store, and transport hydrogen. We propose to study different methods for creating H2 for more than one hour at temperature less than 10 K. Alternative methods of delivering the solid hydrogen to the combustion chamb ...

Existing balloting codes do not consider all of the forces and interactions that contribute to balloting of hypervelocity projectiles. This effort will result in the definition of a complete mathematical model and the design of an appropriate, user friendly, computational model to predict hypervelocity projectile balloting. Arrow Tech, whose engineers are well known for the development and applica ...

CHI Systems Inc, proposes to study the E-2C mission and to determine the conditions under which its traditional 4-5 hour duration can be extended without additional detrimental effects on aircrew performance. In Phase I we will (1) identify and assess key factors in E-2C fatigue via knowledge acquisition from current aircraft domain experts using interview, survey, and literature search, (2) make ...

CHI Systems proposes to develop and exercise a methodology that will enable pilot anthropometry and eye positioning data to be used to optimize the selection and placement of electronic displays in the E-2C cockpit. In Phase I we will (1) define electronic information display options and human factors issues that impact display selection and placement, (2) identify E-2C critical pilot tasks that i ...

An investigation of nickel coating processes to provide corrosion protection for 6061-T6 aluminum alloy in a marine environment is proposed. The effects of aluminum preparation and pretreatment steps will be investigated. Additionally, strategies which utilize multiple layers of nickel of different compositions will also be explored.
