In any atmosphere!
In searching for the right innovations to fly around the earth or out into the galaxy, Langley's researchers produce new technologies for designing, integrating, testing and operating aerospace systems. If you need to optimize or control a system, or need a specialized display, we may have the right one for you.
Lightweight Sensing and Control System - For Unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring capabilities
The Lightweight Sensing and Control System enables semi-autonomous flight for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The small, lightweight technology includes both an active flight control board and an avionics sensor board and can be quickly adapted to your specific configuration.
Active and Controllable Noise Reduction System - For Jet Engines
The effects of this simple noise reduction system for jet engines are similar to that of chevrons, yet it is active and controllable to maximize noise reduction while maintaining efficiency.
Low-Noise Exit Guide Vanes - For Turbofan Jet Engines
This technology represents a novel approach to mitigate the noise generated from exit guide vanes used in high-bypass-ratio turbofan engines. This design for the construction of the stationary exit guide vanes reduces noise at its source by minimizing complex acoustical treatments via engine liners.
Multi-Axis Accelerometer Calibration System - Using a cubiodal attitude position device
This low-cost, portable, and simplified system overcomes facility restrictions and can improve calibration quality of accelerometer-based instruments. These methods offer an order of magnitude reduction in system cost over traditional systems, can improve calibration quality, reduce calibration time, and enable an increase in calibration frequency to allow monitoring of instrument stability over time.
Optimal Flow Control Design - For quieter and more environmentally friendly transport aircraft
This potentially enabling technology for quieter and more environmentally friendly transport aircraft employs a hybrid approach that leverages strengths of vane and jet flow control devices and increases inlet performance over a broader operational range with significant reduction in mass flow requirements.
Advance Display Device for Aviation Safety and Operational Efficiency - Pilot head-worn display for enhanced situation awareness
This technology provides pilots using the device with a voice-controlled system that displays a real-time, virtual display of the airplanes surroundings. The system provides significant safety and operational benefits during aircraft surface operations by enabling pilots to taxi alertly without having to look down at a cockpit screen.

Variable Visibility Glasses for Flight Training - Safer and more comfortable glasses for selectively limiting the view of pilot trainees
This technology provides a safer and more comfortable means for pilot training. The glasses combine electroactively controlled liquid crystal lenses with a means for determining the pilots head position to restrict the view out of the aircraft windscreen while still allowing the pilot to clearly see the entire instrument panel.
