NASA Focused on Forging Partnerships to Develop Sandwich Construction Technologies

摘要

NASA is actively seeking to establish high-impact partnerships for the further development and transfer of sandwich construction technologies, a type of construction in which two sheets, sides or plates are separated by a core of stiffening material. Among the technologies currently available for partnering are Langley Research Center's Energy-Absorbing Structural Concepts for Improved Crash Safety and Johnson Space Center's Enhanced Whipple Shield. Langley Research Center is actively seeking partnerships and collaborations to commercialize its energy-absorbing structural concepts technology, developed to meet aircraft survivability requirements. The concept offers a novel way to improve performance and meet crash-worthiness standards.
