LaRC announced an award to Dynamic Engineering Inc., Newport News, Va., of a three-year cost-plus-fixed-fee contract valued at $4.3 million for design and fabrication of dynamic models for NASA research and development programs. It would include personnel, equipment, materials, and facilities for feasibility studies, engineering design, and assembly and calibration of :models.
Used primarily in wind-tunnel tests, the models would be of three kinds: general-performance, holding a fixed geometry through a range of angle-of attack and dynamic pressure; free-flight and spin models, simulating mass properties of aircraft; and aeroelastic, models simulating configuration changes with load, for performance and flutter investigations. The models would consist of fiberglass-reinforced resin, wood, metal, moldable or formable materials, or combinations. of these. (LaRC Release 80-73)
