Completed TRL 2 (started at 1, targeting 4)
The Engine Icing challenge predicts the likelihood of icing events with 90% probability in current engines operating in ice crystal environments to enable icing susceptibility assessments of advanced ultra-efficient engines.
Enables analysis of ice crystal icing effects on turbofan engines. Assists in the development of design tools to be adapted for N+3 technologies, compact core, higher bypass ratio turbofan engines to assess icing impacts during design/development phases.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 2) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
