NASA Langley researchers have developed a new adhesively-bonded joint concept for curved and flat panel sandwich structures. This new Durable Redundant Joint (DRJ) is now available for licensing, and offers improved safety and load carrying capability for sandwich structures when compared to conventional H-type joints. Join us for this FREE webinar to hear from the inventor, Dr. Stanley Smeltzer, about this technology and its potential applica...

Researchers at NASA Langley Research Center have developed two long endurance Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) UAVs. These new concepts address two major roadblocks for commercial UAV applications: expensive ground support for launch and recovery and limitations on flight time and range. During this free webinar, lead inventor David North will discuss this technology and its potential uses, followed by an open Q&A session.

Researchers at NASA’s Langley Research Center have developed new software and methods under the Traffic Aware Strategic Aircrew Requests (TASAR) project that could help us fly smarter and cleaner. The Traffic Aware Planner (TAP) will improve the method in which pilots request flight path and altitude modifications due to changing flight conditions. The changes may be made to reduce flight time, increase fuel efficiency, or improve some o...

New defense licensing procedures issued as well!
