Durable Elastomeric and Metal based Icephobic Coatings for Turbomachinery Ice Protection Applications
SBC: HygraTek LLC Topic: N182115Icing conditions create significant safety concerns within the aircraft turbomachinery, and in surrounding nacelles, stators, and thrust vectoring surfaces. Icephobic surfaces could significantly reduce the accretion of ice within these components, allowing for safer operation. However, even after decades of research, there are no known icephobic coatings that can function in aircraft engine reali ...

Wearable Aircrew Hydration and Physiology Monitor
SBC: Intelligent Optical Systems, Inc. Topic: N182114Physiological events are a recognized aviation hazard, so military aircrews are trained to recognize and respond to physiological symptoms. Of all causes of physiological events, one of the most treatable is dehydration, which can lead to fatigue, increased susceptibility to physical stressors, emotional alterations, and impaired judgment. Detecting dehydration early can reduce or eliminate this r ...
