Organization overview and procurement intelligence available on paid plans.
A contracting agency in Ohio seeks a vendor to provide strategic studies related to advanced propulsion technologies. The scope includes an in-depth examination of the affordable and rapid manufacture of high temperature, robust ceramic matrix composites (CMC), focusing on hot section component production.
The study must produce clear requirements, identify risks, and develop a technology roadmap for rapid and scalable advanced CMC manufacturing. Additionally, the vendor will conduct a comprehensive feasibility study for an open–fan flight demonstration, addressing all technical, operational, and certification factors. Specific areas to be covered include aerodynamic integration, structural impacts, noise and emissions performance, and propulsion system reliability.
