NASA Langley Research Center

HS Advanced Concepts LLC supported the NASA Langley Research Center’s Systems Analysis Group under the sponsorship of an Integrated Systems Analysis and Assessment Capability (ISAAC) project with a task “Initial Assessment of Aircraft Certification Procedures for Emerging Technologies“. The objective was to identify gaps that may exist due to emerging technologies in both new certification rules and existing standards used as means of compliance to these rules for Normal Category Aircraft. There were three tasks:

• Certification Basis Review

• Evaluation of NASA Activities Relevant to Certification Gaps

• NASA-Regulator-Standards Body Coordination

HS Advanced Concepts LLC supported the NASA X-57 Project and produced the Airworthiness Validation Plan (AVP) Report describing a mock-up certification plan for the X-57 vehicle addressing 14 CFR Parts 23, 33 (including the Special Condition) and 35.

HS Advanced Concepts LLC supported the civil aviaiton Regulations and Standards analysis of the SUbsonic Single Aft eNgine (SUSAN) Electrofan initiative under the Convergent Aeronautics Solutions (CAS) project.

HS Advanced Concepts LLC currently support the Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstrations (EPFD) project. The focus is supporting the EFPD effect in the Regulations and Standards Development (R&SD) team to enable the development of standards necessary to support the Means and Methods of Compliance (MOC) for integrated MW-class powertrain systems for large transport-category airplanes.
