Presentation Transcript

  1. NASA OBIGGS / OBOGS Update International Aircraft Systems Fire Protection Working Group by Clarence T. Chang NASA Aviation Safety Program (AvSP) Fire-Prevention Element Leader October 30, 2002 Atlantic City, New Jersey IAFPWG: CTC

  2. Issues State of the NASA OBIGGS/OBOGS contract and technology development selection rationale Fire-safe-Fuel Research Status IAFPWG: CTC

  3. OBIGGS/OBOGS Program Status • Eight firms submitted ten proposals • No new OBIGGS technologies beyond NASA/CR-2001-210950 report. Limited oxygen-generation interest. • FAA already built OBIGGS system with state-of-the-art HFM technology! What’s next? • Four contractors selected • Essex Cryogenics – comprehensive oxygen system • Valcor – high-temperature hollow fiber membrane • Creare – miniature turbo-compressor • Honeywell – high-T HFM and control strategy IAFPWG: CTC

  4. OBIGGS/OBOGS Program Status (continued) • Five-month feasibility assessment (Phase I) on critical issues to overcome. Airframe integration input from Boeing. • Currently establishing non-disclosure agreement with Boeing • NASA has option to continue hardware development through FY04 (Phase II) – enough funding to support up to three • NASA will announce Phase II hardware development Sources Sought in January 2003 for other hardware ideas. • Contact Clarence Chang at 216-433-8561 • Clarence.T.Chang@grc.nasa.gov IAFPWG: CTC

  5. Fire-Safe-Fuels Research Status • Established criteria to define a “good” ignition kernel • Currently doing base-line fuel testing. 12/2002 milestone. • Establish a “research” Jet-A blend from pure substances for ignition-reduction additive testing. • Contact Marty Rabinowitz at 216-433-5847 • Martin.J.Rabinowitz@grc.nas.agov IAFPWG: CTC
