“…A promising candidate is NASA Langley's Lancair Columbia 300 [32] shown in Figure 4. This aircraft was purchased for the NASA Small Aircraft Transportation System Program and is currently in flyable storage, so making substantial changes to its airframe will not impact other test programs.…”

Electrically-powered aircraft can enable dramatic increases in efficiency and reliability, reduced emissions, and reduced noise as compared to today's combustion-powered aircraft. This paper describes a novel flight demonstration concept that will enable the benefits of electric propulsion, while keeping the extraordinary convenience and utility of common fuels available at today's airports. A critical gap in airborne electric propulsion research is addressed by accommodating adoption at the integrated aircraft-airport systems level, using a confluence of innovative but proven concepts and technologies in power generation and electricity storage that need to reside only on the airframe. Technical discriminators of this demonstrator concept include (1) a novel, high-efficiency power system that utilizes advanced solid oxide fuel cells originally developed for ultra-long-endurance aircraft, coupled with (2) a high-efficiency, high-power electric propulsion system selected from mature products to reduce technical risk, assembled into (3) a modern, high-performance demonstration platform to provide useful and compelling data, both for the targeted early adopters and the eventual commercial market.

Abstract-Environmental radio frequency (RF) data over a broad band of frequencies were needed to evaluate the airspace around several airports. An RF signal measurement system was designed using a spectrum analyzer connected to an aircraft VHF/UHF navigation antenna installed on a small aircraft. This paper presents an overview of the RF measurement system and provides analysis of a sample of RF signal measurement data over a frequency range of 30 MHz to 1000 MHz.

“…Other Airborne Equipment NASA LaRC's Cirrus SR22X was modified by the addition of a GA baseline research system, which included an additional power system to power the research systems; an ADAHRS; an experimenter workstation; an Avidyne MFD; a Data Acquisition System (DAS); a sensor system; an air data boom; two general-purpose computers; a video system; and an audio system [5]. Much of this equipment was mounted on the research equipment pallet located in the aircraft's aft compartment.…”

The Self-Separation and Sequencing (SSS) Flight Experiment was conducted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center (LaRC) to determine if instrument rated general aviation (GA) pilots could self-separate and sequence their ownship aircraft, while following a simulated aircraft, into a simulated non-towered, non-radar airport during simulated Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). Six GA pilots' subjective workload levels and abilities to fly a Cirrus SR22X aircraft while performing self-separation and sequencing procedures during straight-in, intrail approaches and approaches with simultaneous amvals of aircraft were examined. This paper discusses the results of the flight experiment and its relevance to future research.
