项目摘要

The Planning Grants for Engineering Research Centers competition was run as a pilot solicitation within the ERC program. Planning grants are not The Planning Grants for Engineering Research Centers competition was run as a pilot solicitation within the ERC program. Planning grants are not required as part of the full ERC competition, but intended to build capacity among teams to plan for convergent, center-scale engineering research. This project enables planning of a transdisciplinary research consortium for electric aircraft with broad community stakeholder involvement, to explore innovative next-generation aircraft concepts for vertical and short takeoff/landings. These new electric aircraft designs offer ultra-high efficiency, very low noise and zero-direct air pollution emissions; i.e., a green alternative over conventional aircraft and their supporting infrastructure. Electric aircraft can provide city planners with new options for mixed urban transportation systems. This consortium serves to conduct convergent, multidisciplinary research for electric aircraft, engage the public on their community benefits, educate students from all walks of life, train the next-generation workforce, and foster an innovation ecosystem based on green aerospace technologies. Through next-generation electric aircraft concepts, this project develops a multidisciplinary strategy for protecting the environment and enabling increased transportation mobility that has significant advantages over conventional transportation systems. Through a series of workshops, the project develops a roadmap with experts from many disciplines and professions, including aeronautics, material science, acoustics, autonomous control, public policy, law, and the aerospace industry. Building upon the technology for coflow jet active flow control, the planning for the consortium addresses technical challenges for electric aircraft, including aircraft noise mitigation via reduced propeller disk loading, interactive virtual simulations of full electric aircraft systems, high-energy density batteries and high-power supercapacitors, lightweight high-heat conductivity materials, high-power density and efficient micro-compressor actuators, distributed propulsion, flight control, and safety systems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

工程研究中心规划奖助金竞赛是作为ERC计划的试点征集活动进行的。规划助学金不是工程研究中心的规划助学金比赛是作为ERC计划内的一个试点征集活动进行的。计划拨款并不是整个ERC竞赛的一部分，而是为了在团队之间建立能力，以计划集中的、中心规模的工程研究。该项目使一个有社区利益相关者广泛参与的电动飞机跨学科研究联盟得以规划，以探索垂直和短途起降的创新下一代飞机概念。这些新的电动飞机设计提供了超高效率、非常低的噪音和零直接空气污染排放；即，与传统飞机及其配套基础设施相比，是一种绿色替代方案。电动飞机可以为城市规划者提供混合城市交通系统的新选择。该联盟致力于开展融合的、多学科的电动飞机研究，让公众了解他们的社区利益，教育各行各业的学生，培训下一代劳动力，并培育基于绿色航空航天技术的创新生态系统。通过下一代电动飞机的概念，该项目开发了一种多学科战略，以保护环境并提高运输机动性，这比传统运输系统具有显著优势。通过一系列研讨会，该项目与来自许多学科和专业的专家一起制定了路线图，包括航空学、材料科学、声学、自主控制、公共政策、法律和航空航天工业。该联盟的规划建立在同向流喷射主动流动控制技术的基础上，解决了电动飞机的技术挑战，包括通过减少螺旋桨盘负载来缓解飞机噪音、全电动飞机系统的交互式虚拟仿真、高能量密度电池和高功率超级电容器、轻质高导热材料、高功率密度和高效微型压缩机执行器、分布式推进、飞行控制和安全系统。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
