QAT Vision - subject to discussion!
- Develop technology necessary to meet Enterprise 10/25 year NR goals
- Broad partnership/sharing approach
- Revolutionary rather than evolutionary
- Proper near-term/far-term balance?
- Need sizzle!
- Develop technology to TRL of 4-5
- Broad/narrow technical content?
- Fundamental/applied research balance?
- Validated physics-based noise prediction models critical to success
- Cost share with customers/partners to get technology to TRL 5-6
- Necessarily limited scope
- Limited to subsonic transport airplanes
- No rotorcraft noise reduction technology
- No propeller noise reduction technology
- No sonic boom reduction technology
- Small twin, large quad, both, something else?
