1. “Other” Breakout Session Summary
Joint NASA-FAA ODM Workshop, Kansas City
October 22, 2015
Facilitators: Michael Patterson, Bill Fredericks

2. Forming 2 additional roadmap working groups (next 2 slides)
Disposition of “Other” Breakout Recommendations (summary and running comments by Ken Goodrich, in red)
Forming 2 additional roadmap working groups (next 2 slides)
Integrated Structures & Manufacturing (ISM) (Michael Patterson lead)
ODM Airspace Integration (OAI) (Ken Goodrich, initial lead)
Many other recommendations reside well in Electric Propulsion (EP) and Simplified Vehicle Operations (SVO) and will be handled by those working groups
Improved certification methods are integral to all working groups and will be integrate into these groups rather than stand alone

3. ODM Airspace Integration
Digital data-link between aircraft and ATC
High-density operations
Networked aircraft
Decentralized ATM
Aircraft self-separation
Can pull from UAS technologies
Automated and optimized ATM
Interaction with UAS traffic
Interaction between ground traffic management and air traffic
Uber with air vehicles – want car to be waiting for you when you arrive at airport

4. Integrated Structures and Manufacturing
3-D printing/additive manufacturing
Including hybrid manufacturing: utilize 3-d printed structure in part of conventional composite layup
Materials characterization/inspection for additive manufacturing
Design handbook including “casting factors” (safety factors) for additive manufactured materials
Automated composite layup
Flexible robotic manufacturing
Recurring and non-recurring cost studies (for new manufacturing techniques)
Compare alternative production systems based on process time and investment
Find “tipping points” where additive manufacturing, automated composite layup, etc. are beneficial
Multifunctional structures, for example
Structural batteries / energy storage
Morphing/deployable structures
Crashworthy structures
Occupant protection
Energy absorption
Can we do coupon testing with 3-d printed structures?

5. Lightly process inputs from “Other” breakout sessions…

6. More flexible Methods for means of compliance
Enable continuous production and product changes/improvements
Certification by analysis
Delineation between major/minor changes
Clarification between process and product changes
Improving certification processes is an over riding goal and will be integral to the four working groups

7. Acoustics
Perception & human response design and certification requirements
Liner technologies
Design tools, methods, and studies for low-noise propulsors
Acoustic metamaterials
Shielding / directed noise
Active noise control/damping
Variable/specific prop tip speed to reduce noise
Quiet ducted fan design/materials
Motor/controller noise (e.g., rim-driven motors)
Acoustics is an integral part of the EP working group and these items will be addressed there

8. Efficient Air Traffic Integration (Management)
High-density operations
Digital data-link between aircraft and ATC
We have today apparently
Networked aircraft
Decentralized ATM
Self-separation
Can pull from UAS technologies
Automated and optimized ATM
UAS traffic interaction
Interaction between ground traffic management and air traffic
Uber with air vehicles
Formed ODM Airspace Integration working group given the importance of airspace to ODM feasibility. OAI initial contact point is Ken Goodrich

9. Manufacturing and Structures/Materials
3-D printing/additive manufacturing
Hybrid: utilize 3-d printed structure in part of conventional composite layup
Automated composite layup
Multi-functional structures
Energy storage
Energy collection (solar panels)
Integrated systems (eg part of structure is circuit board)
Deployable/morphing structures (including propellers)
Flexible robotic manufacturing
Materials characterization/inspection
Design handbook including “casting factors” (safety factors)
Recurring and non-recurring cost studies (process time and investment; compare alternative production systems)
Formed Integrated Structures and Manufacturing working group. Initial lead is Michael Patterson

10. Infrastructure Utilization of airports
Make airports ‘multi-use’
(put manufacturing capabilities there?)
Information distribution
Electric (charging, electrical grid, battery swaps, etc.)
Electrolyte-based, hydrogen-based
UAS/autonomous manned aircraft have new needs?
Economic studies
System study into need for building new “vertiports” or sharing spaces such as soccer fields
System studies into things happening in auto industry and how it impacts aviation
Thermal ground support equipment (e.g., heating batteries, on hot day pre-cool fuel)
New ground infrastructure on ground so we don’t have to carry equipment in the air
Eg., cooling fuel, don’t have to have life jackets because you’ll get them
OAI EP
Nasa role is system studies??
(All working groups)
(EP)
(EP, SVO)
Items delegated to appropriate working group

11. System Energy Management
Recovery of waste heat
Radiator design methods/tools
Topics fit within (EP)

12. Public Perception Outreach (School-based) education
Decreased downwash velocities (from propulsors; really a perceived safety)
Work packages should consider public perception and outreach issues and activities in their products

13. Aerodynamics Utilize past research Laminar flow (fuselage)
Boundary layer ingestion
Tip propellers
Propulsion-aero/airframe integration
Specifically off-nominal operations
New high-lift technologies
Aerodynamics integrated with EP working group

14. Safety Steerable BRS/full airplane parachutes
Consider survivability in water after using chute
Air bags (full aircraft, better interior)
Complete powertrain redundancy (from energy source to propulsor)
Crashworthiness
Crumple zones
Energy absorbance structures
Adaptive reserve requirements
Consider landing wait times
Minimizing crash damage to ground assets
Battery crashworthiness/design requirements
