Follow-on Transformational Vertical Flight Workshops

• First one in August 2015• Location: NASA Ames Research Park, Mountain View, CA• Duration: 2 days a good fit since we plan on having more content• Time: Tuesday and Wed Aug 18-19th (Tentative)• 2015 Big Planning Meeting:

– January 27th, 2015 (tentatively 1 pm-2:30 pm Eastern)– Purpose is to hash out the basic plan for sessions and content– Need Volunteer to be technical lead to determine the sessions, and

potential content before meeting in January• Removing bi-weekly meeting, and going to monthly meetings until

we get closer to August 2015• Do we want a 6 month virtual workshop?

– NASA virtual facilities, Adobe connect– 6 speakers– March 2015 time frame?

Follow-on Workshop Possible Topics

• Distributed Electric Propulsion: Analysis to Validation Testing– NASA/Joby/ESAero will have significant content to share on this topic

including…– Aero-propulsive CFD comparisons (Vortex lattice + actuator disc to full

unsteady) to experiment– Acoustics– Low Cost Mobile Rig Testing Lessons Learned

• New Concept Approaches Enabled by Electric Architectures (UAV to Manned Platforms)– Dzyne, Aurora, Joby, NASA

• Prize Challenges– New HeroX.Org 1 Person VTOL– XPrize Transporter– AHS Decadal Prize– Possible New NASA Centennial Challenge Prize

Follow-on Workshop Possible Topics (Continued)

• Electric Technologies• Electric Storage

– Updates of Last Years (Need to follow-up, even if they’re not successful)

– New, Most Promising Approaches• VTOL Propulsion Control and Autonomy Convergent Technologies

– EU MyCopter Report Out• Certification

– Only if we can show progress towards an approach…

Next Steps

• Formal Organization of Effort?• Integration with IPLC Plans?• Integration with V/STOL Short Course Plans?

Award

F.E. Newbold Award Nominees

• Newbold award nominations– Current Nominations:

• Ramesh Agarwal (First carry over) • Greg Walker (First Carryover)• Paul Shumpert (First Carryover)

– Albert Yackle and Vaughan Fulton are now ineligible because they were carried over in this past nomination cycle.

• Action: Wayne Elbers to nominate Art (Turbo) Tomassetti• Other potential nominations

– Chuck Heber– David Coleman – General Hough– Paul Kaminski– Some more rotorcraft oriented candidates (Mike Hirschberg)– Erasmo Pinero to identify 1 V-22 candidate

Membership Updates

• New Members to be Added (Term Begins in May):– Geoffrey Jeram (Senior Member) – US Army – Phuriwat Anusonti-Inthra (Senior Member) – U. of Tenn. Space Inst.– Naipei (Peter) Bi (Associate Fellow) – Naval Surface Warfare Center– Michael Deitchman (Senior Member) – Dept. of Navy (Retired)– Hao Kang (Senior Member) – US Army Research Lab– Mark Alber (Senior Member) – Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation– Gregory Gatlin (Senior Member) – NASA LaRC

• Members Rotating off Committee:– Roger Strawn (Resigned) & Corin Gologan (Membership Lapsed)

• Going Forward– Currently at 34 Members– New Membership Goal Still 5 New/Year– Need 4 Members to Rotate Off or become “Alumni Members”– Have Lost Touch with Y.T. Chin and Bob Wood

Education/Student Design Competition

• VSTOL Air Taxi project this year for graduate competition• Have received solicitation for RFPs for next year’s competition

– Discussed if we want to submit something for this– General consensus is that we should try and submit something

every year• Student participation has been dropping off in recent years

– A lot of the RFPs are looking alike year after year– Have seen less innovative designs submitted

• All committee members need to think about ideas for RFPs and write up very short abstracts. Send these to Dave Hall and Bill Fredericks at a minimum (feel free to send to everyone)

• Integrate with Personal VTOL Hero X Award?

Publications

• Year in Review input was submitted in early September (on time) for publication. The year in review included updates on the F-35, V-22 and JMR-TD programs. The “Year in Review” downplayed UAVs in the interest of space and due to ample coverage in other publications (including Aerospace America).– The rules of the Year in Review have been recently changed (600

words and no more than two pictures allowed).• Items for Discussion:

– Aerospace America published our input, but changed the pictures I submitted (V-22 and CH-53K pictures)

– Is the article posted on the TC website?– Submission of more TC articles to AIAA Aerospace America

throughout the year as a means to increase our visibility?– Potential advertisement for our TC on trade publications to encourage

membership. Is that allowed by the AIAA?

Website

• Waiting for the final roster to be finished before I put something up.– Q: We have the current org chart up (restricted to members – do we

want this open to everyone?)– A: Roster is Current, and needs to be posted. Org chart after Today’s

Election can be Updated and Posted. Rick to Make sure you have Latest of Both

• Do you want to upload the Charter document once it has been finalized? (A: Yes, Charter document was Finalized and Approved)

• In order to update the site I need information on:– F.E. Newbold Award information (very lacking in information in this

area, especially early on)• A few links have been broken due to a system upgrade (In-Work)• Would be good to have more information on the Short Course

(photos/images to brighten up the pages?)• All meeting minutes are available• As always calendar needs more information

Liaison

• Iris Curtis has “Volunteered” to Lead this Effort– Need to Re-Invigorate Efforts/Process and get Organized

• Need to Solicit Input Like the Attached and Consolidate into Report– Lessons Learned from Other TCs/PCs/Orgs– Opportunities to Interact Formally or Informally with Others

• Current Active Liaisons– Transformational Flight PC – Andy Gibson, Bill Frederick– Aircraft Design TC – Dave Hall– Air Breathing Propulsion TC – Jack Sokhey– Applied Aerodynamics - Mark Calvert (Informal Through Eric

Charlton)– Green Engineering – Andy Gibson– AHS– RAeS?– Student Activities Committee – Dave Hall

APA Notes

IPLC 2016 Planning Committee

• ASTC Organization– Nominally Run Through SAE Propulsion Committee – Ramesh

Rajagopalan ([email protected]) is Chair– Jim Sherman ([email protected]) is SAE Event Lead– Archie Thompson ([email protected]) is a Key SAE Contributor Due

to his Technical Background in Aerospace– Frank Bokulich ([email protected]) is our High-Level POC in SAE– Do not Intend to Start Planning in Earnest until Nov 2015– Will Integrate IPLC Directly into all Planning

• IPLC General Chairs (Focused on Big Picture/Lining up Speakers)– Currently Rick Mange & Jack Sokhey– Will Need Substantial Help from Others (Mike H./John S.)

• IPLC Tech Chairs (Focused on Putting Together Detailed Program)– Andrew Gibson (Chair), Angelo Collins (Deputy)– Will need Substantial Help from Others to be on Committee and Chair

Sessions

IPLC 2016 Planning

• In Conjunction with 2016 SAE Aerospace Systems & Technology Conference (ASTC - http://www.sae.org/events/astc)– Focused on Systems Integration (VS, Avionics, Etc.)– Usually Sponsored by a First-Tier Supplier (Honeywell, GE, Etc.)– ~400 Attendees held in the Fall of Even Years

• Have Fully Engaged on Planning Committee and Pressing for Advantageous Sponsor/Location– At UTC/P&W East Hartford– Planning Committee Started (Next Slide)– Need to Get Key Financials/Attendance Figures from AHS to SAE

• Advantages for IPLC Include:– Getting in on Ground Floor Planning– Being a Major Player in the Conference (~20%)– Having Three Full Years to Plan and Build Great Conference – Will Help Drive some Significant Propulsion Presence in IPLC

V/STOL Short Course

• Smithsonian eliminated• Could do at Centra

– Want to pursue this option further – Action Iris/Paul• Should we change the theme a little to be less JSF

– It is mostly technology anyways with some JSF so would just be cutting back on JSF unique

– Maybe bring in some transformational flight and other future topics• Paul Bevilaqua has action to send out course syllabus for the last

time we held the course to the committee - Completed• Start laying out plans to hold this in the June 2015 time frame (5

days)• Discuss this with the transformational flight PC• Plan on having details available by SciTech time frame so can

advertise there
