Extractions: Volume 5, Number 5 September/October 1997 ASA HAS PARTNERED WITH THE GENERAL aviation industry in introducing the V-JET II, a turbofan-powered light aircraft designed for future flight testing. It is expected to revolutionize and revitalize general aviation with a safer, smoother, quieter and more affordable light aircraft. "The V-JET II marks a turning point in general aviation," NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin said when he joined Williams International Chairman Dr. Sam Williams at the 45th Annual Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) International Fly-In held recently in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to demonstrate the V-JET II. Dr. Williams added, "Our objectives are to develop the quietest and least polluting propulsion system in aviation as well as the lightest weight turbine propulsion system for manned aircraft. We also expect to be able to price these engines low enough to stimulate the rapid expansion of the light aircraft industry in the United States." Williams provided the aircraft for use in the General Aviation Propulsion (GAP) program. It will demonstrate breakthrough, low-cost turbine-engine propulsion systems for light general aviation aircraft with cruising airspeeds greater than 200 knots.

Williams Williams International 2280 West Maple Road Walled Lake, MI 48390-0200 I am Sam Williams, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Williams International. Our headquarters and engineering facilities are in Walled Lake, Michigan and our manufacturing facilities are in Ogden, Utah. We design and manufacture small, lightweight, high performance gas turbine engines for general aviation aircraft, cruise missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Over the past ten years, we have been in transition from being primarily a Department of Defense engine provider to a manufacturer of general aviation engines for such companies as Cessna, Raytheon and Swearingen. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to provide my views to you on the importance of Congressional support for aviation research. It has already proved to be successful. In the 1980s and the early 1990s, we at Williams International believed that there was potentially a very large market for high performance, lower cost, lightweight, entry-level jet-powered general aviation aircraft to replace propeller- and piston-powered aircraft. We also believed there was room in the market for smaller, lower cost business jet aircraft. Small, propeller-powered general aviation aircraft were of 30-year old technology, and the cost to buy and operate business jets was steadily increasing. New low-cost, high-performance, fuel-efficient turbofan engines would have to be developed if we were to revitalize the countrys business jet and general aviation industry.

GAMA represents approximately 50 manufacturers of general aviation aircraft, engine, avionics and component parts located throughout the United States. GENERAL AVIATION As everyone on this Subcommittee well knows, general aviation is defined as all aviation other than commercial and military aviation. It is the backbone of our air transportation system and is the primary training ground for the commercial airline industry. It is also an industry that contributes positively to our nations economy. General aviation aircraft range from small, single-engine planes to mid-size turboprops to the larger turbofans capable of flying non-stop from New York to Tokyo. These planes are used for business purposes and recreation, as well as everything from emergency medical evacuations to border patrols and fire fighting. They are also used by individuals, companies, state governments, universities and other interests to quickly and efficiently reach the more than 5000 small and rural communities in the United States that are not served by commercial airlines GROWTH IN GENERAL AVIATION MANUFACTURING

Extractions: New Technology Foundation Eyes Electric-powered Flight Next Year "As we approach the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers’ original flight, we are embarking on a whole new type of aviation propulsion. The technology for electric-powered flight exists today, and we are integrating it into a high-performance general aviation aircraft," said James P. Dunn, executive director of the foundation, who is also the inventor of the laptop computer and an expert in energy storage technology. The new ever-ready Fuel Cell powered E-Plane could revoluionize General Aviation. The new Electric Plane, or E-Plane, is a high-speed, all-carbon French DynAero Lafayette III, built and donated by American Ghiles Aircraft. The E-Plane is being converted from a combustion engine to electric propulsion in three stages. The first flights, planned for next year, will be on lithium ion batteries. The next flights will be powered by a combination of lithium ion batteries augmented by a fuel cell. Finally, the aircraft will be powered totally by a hydrogen fuel cell, with a range of more than 500 miles. Dunn said the plane, which was on exhibit at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, eventually will be able to fly distances of 500 to 800 miles without recharging. This revolutionary concept will ultimately lead to fuel cell airplanes that are simpler to build than traditional aircraft, as well as more reliable, quieter, emission-free, easier to maintain and safer.

Extractions: Chattanooga, Tennessee, September 12, 1997 I would like to thank my good friend Bob Pap, who is the president of both the Accurate Automation Corporation and the International Society for Air Breathing Engines, for inviting me to speak to this distinguished group of engineers and scientists. The Safety Board also proactively pursues safety by conducting special studies and issuing safety recommendations. Recommendations are usually directed to the regulatory authority responsible for the respective mode of transportation, but they are also addressed to states, manufacturers, and operators of transportation equipment. Because we have no regulatory authority, our recommendations are not binding. However, they do carry a lot of weight. Historically, more than 80 percent have been implemented. About 2,000 aviation accidents and 500 accidents in the surface modes are investigated every year by our agency of just 360 persons. In addition, we are involved in 50 to 60 foreign investigations every year. With all this activity, it still costs each of you less to fund the Safety Board for a year than to mail a single post card. It is no secret that the last year has been a difficult one for our small agency. We are currently investigating two Boeing 747 accidents each of which took the lives of more than 200 persons the in-flight explosion of TWA flight 800 near Long Island, and the crash of Korean Airlines flight 801 in Guam. In the past year, we have also been investigating the catastrophic engine failure on a Delta Air Lines MD-88, in Pensacola, Florida; two accidents involving Federal Express jumbo jets; the runway collision involving a United Express commuter airliner at Quincy, Illinois; the crash of a Comair commuter in Monroe, Michigan; the takeoff crash of the Fine Air DC-8 in Miami; and numerous other air carrier accidents and incidents, including a number of powerplant-related issues that I will be discussing further.

Extractions: Hampton, Virginia 23681-0001 FS-2002-07-59-LaRC SMALL AIRCRAFT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM (SATS) NASA has proposed a travel alternative to relieve congested interstate highways and hub-and-spoke airports, with the potential to revolutionize transportation accessibility and mobility. As envisioned, the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS) will free people and products from existing delays, by allowing more access to more communities in less time. To prove the SATS concept will work, NASA has initiated a five-year $69 million research plan. NASA will conduct ground and flight research at several airports around the country, culminating in technology flight demonstrations by mid-2005. SATS offers an on-demand, point-to-point, widely distributed transportation system. It relies on advanced 4- to 10-passenger aircraft using new operating capabilities. Such a system promises improved safety, efficiency, reliability and affordability for small aircraft operating within the nation's 5,400 public-use-landing facilities. About 98% of the US population lives within 20 miles of at least one of these airports. Can you imagine these same-day travel options?

(Phone: 202/267-3461) RELEASE: 98-139 LIGHT PLANE TECHNOLOGIES COMING TO MARKET The government-industry effort to revitalize the U.S. light airplane industry is rapidly turning promises into accomplishments. Leaders of both the Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiment (AGATE) consortium and the NASA General Aviation Propulsion (GAP) program are reporting impressive progress, according to a senior NASA official. "These accomplishments are laying the foundation for a small aircraft transportation system that will make personal air travel for business or pleasure a safe, affordable transportation alternative," said Michael B. Mann, NASA's Deputy Associate Administrator for Aeronautics and Space Transportation Technology. "Newly developing technologies and procedures are allowing us to move from the research stage to practical use. Even the challenging task of developing a lightweight, affordable jet engine for personal airplanes is coming along quickly through NASA's GAP program," he added. Mann's comments were made at a joint NASA, FAA and U.S. industry news briefing held today at AirVenture '98, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) annual Fly-In and Convention, Oshkosh, WI. Other briefing participants included Anne Harlan, Federal Aviation Administration's Director of the William J. Hughes Technical Center, Atlantic City, NJ. Among the accomplishments highlighted: AGATE-EQUIPPED AIRPLANES COMING TO MARKET * Cirrus SR20, Cirrus Design Corp., Duluth, MN * Lancair Columbia 300, Lancair International Inc., Redmond Bend, OR The first two production airplanes to offer extensive AGATE technology are being introduced this summer, with customer deliveries expected to begin by the end of the year. FAA flight certification is expected for both airplanes this fall. These pioneering airplanes boast of value, performance, comfort and safety. AGATE technology contributes to ease of operation through single-lever power control and multi-function display of satellite navigation and airport information. The display technology will also handle graphical display of real-time weather, terrain and digital air-to-ground communications when available in the near future. Other AGATE technologies reflected in these new airplanes include advanced lightweight and aerodynamically efficient composite materials (graphite-epoxy, for example). AGATE safety advances are seen in energy-absorbing structures and improved safety harness systems that improve crashworthiness. NEW PROCESS PROMISING UP TO $1 MILLION SAVINGS PER NEW AIRPLANE Time and costs of certifying materials for new single-engine airplane designs will be dramatically reduced with the adoption of an AGATE-developed certification process. The process promises to cut materials certification for a new design from two years to six months and from $600,000-$1,000,000 to $30,000. The National Institute for Aviation Research, Wichita State University, Wichita, KS, is conducting research to validate the overall process to meet FAA certification standards. The idea is that the AGATE consortium will pool resources to spread the costs of initial research and certification for each material of interest. The data will go into a handbook, specifying the exact process to be followed in order to receive a speedy certification from the FAA. The first two aircraft to make use of the new process are the Cirrus SR20 and Lancair Columbia 300 (see first item, above). They will be the first composite material four-seat AGATE-type airplanes to be certified in the U.S. FIRST PILOT GRADUATING FROM STREAMLINED TRAINING COURSE The first student has successfully completed a unified flight training curriculum that earned her both a visual and an instrument pilot rating. The AGATE-developed curriculum was administered by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Melbourne, FL. The curriculum simultaneously trains pilots in visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR) at significant time and cost savings over traditional methods which call for separate courses for separate ratings. The national average for receiving a basic private pilot license is approximately 72 hours of in- flight training over nine months. This is followed by instrument training of 104 hours over an additional nine months. The Embry- Riddle student completed the equivalent training with a 29 percent savings in ground and flight training, a 20 percent savings in cost and an 83 percent savings in total elapsed time. The new training curricula is supported by NASA through the AGATE program, Embry-Riddle and the FAA Flight Standards District Office, Orlando, FL. FLIGHT TESTS PROVING COCKPIT TECHNOLOGIES Results from two series of ongoing flight experiments are expected to have a major impact on the standards that will be set for operating general aviation airplanes in the future. The AGATE experiments are validating advanced navigation and communications technologies developed to revolutionize how light airplane pilots interact with real-time weather and flight data information. A Cessna T210 has been test flown since December to learn more about the display and use of real-time weather in the cockpit. Preliminary results indicate that use of advanced cockpit weather displays reduces pilot activity while increasing the pilot's ability to accurately and safely navigate around hazardous weather. A Raytheon Bonanza has been test flown since January to assess the operational capabilities of digital datalinks. Results of this powerful new cockpit tool are encouraging. Potential applications are many, including the present test and evaluation of three attitude and heading reference systems expected to significantly enhance the pilot's awareness of his or her airplane's position and flight heading. Future plans for the Bonanza test airplane include the integration and demonstration of all AGATE technologies in a single cockpit. FIRST STATEWIDE DIGITAL DATALINK PROVIDING REAL-TIME WEATHER Virginia has inaugurated the nation's first statewide application of aviation digital datalink technology, establishing a public-private partnership that will set the pace for its introduction to other states in an effort to form a national system that may someday be global. At a ceremony July 9 in the state capital, Virginia Secretary of Transportation Shirley J. Ybarra praised AGATE member ARNAV Systems Inc., Puyallup, WA, the Small Aircraft Manufacturers Association and NASA's Langley Research Center for the successful partnership. Ybarra said that extension of the AGATE technology "will provide small business with safe, efficient and secure all-weather air transportation to urban and rural communities all over the country." REDUCING THE COST OF LIGHTNING PROTECTION AGATE members are working with Lightning Technology, Inc., Pittsfield, MA, to reduce the cost of lightning protection for small airplanes from the current $5,000 per airplane to $500 or less by next year. This ambitious goal is part of the AGATE effort to make future single-engine airplanes more affordable to more people. Lightning doesn't strike small aircraft often, but when it does it can cause significant damage to non-conducting components and digital cockpit systems. The company is evaluating airplane surface treatments such as low-cost lightweight metal meshes embedded in the advanced fiberglass-epoxy composite materials increasingly used in small airplane structures. Tests have applied simulated lightning effects (up to 200,000 amperes of current) to small "coupons" representing airplane skin and structure. PROPULSION RESEARCH FILLING THE GAP Two years after NASA's Lewis Research Center unveiled the General Aviation Propulsion (GAP) program, industry teams are reporting substantial progress in developing forerunners of the next generation of general aviation light aircraft engines. Development of the engines described below is on schedule for flight demonstration at EAA's AirVenture '00. * New Piston Engine at Half the Price. An industry team led by Teledyne Continental Motors, Mobile, AL, has designed a highly advanced 200-hp compression ignition engine. The engine will use jet fuel and is designed to be priced at half the cost of current engines. Careful design consideration has been given to making this engine the smoothest and quietest piston engine to have ever flown in a general aviation aircraft. The design is now becoming reality. The first engine will be completed within the next few days, followed by a series of tests. The first aircraft installation is set for this time next year. * New Turbine Engine Promises High Performance at Competitive Price. Williams International, Walled Lake, MI, and their industry team have designed a radically new turbofan engine which will make turbine engines affordable for small general aviation aircraft. This engine, known as the FJX-2, is a high-bypass-ratio turbofan that will produce 700 lbs. of thrust while weighing less than 100 lbs. Turbine engines are known for their good performance and quiet smooth operation. However, they have only been used on the top-of-the-line general aviation aircraft because a turbine engine propulsion system can cost more than an entire airplane. The FJX-2 has been designed to maintain excellent performance while being price-competitive with piston engines. Engine component testing has progressed at a good pace. The first full engine is scheduled to be completed and ready for testing by the end of September.

Located in Hampton, Virginia, Langley's unique research facilities include over 40 wind tunnels. A community of Langley researchers is honing the technologies that enable aircraft to fly faster, farther, safer, and to be more maneuverable, quieter, less expensive to manufacture, and more energy efficient. A new aviation safety initiative supported by Langley is the development of Aviation Weather Information (AWIN) systems. Airliners and smaller airplanes are one step closer to having up-to-the-minute, graphical weather displays in their cockpits. Research agreements between NASA and eight industry teams have been signed to bring about the AWIN initiative. What is envisioned in the AWIN effort is a futuristic system that allows aircraft to be both a source and user of weather information. Airborne sensors would provide data for weather systems on the plane, on the ground, and in other aircraft. As part of the cockpit instrumentation, easy-to-read, real-time displays would show weather across the country, not just a limited number of miles ahead. Satellite and ground transceivers would move weather data to and from aircraft. Industry teams working on AWIN also propose other information tools, such as alarm systems or displays of suggested routes to help pilots better avoid potentially hazardous weather situations.
