    Description

    Special Notice NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION is seeking companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a cavity noise reduction technology. This technology, developed by NASA's Langley Research Center, is an innovative stretchable mesh assembly that reduces noise produced during aircraft approach and landing. It promotes the growth of three-dimensional flow structures within the landing gear cavity, effectively reducing shear layer roll-up and eliminating cavity noise. The stretchable mesh concept has been tested and proven more effective than rigid mesh in reducing landing gear cavity noise. NASA is looking for partners interested in co-development or licensure of the technology for various applications. No funding is provided by NASA for these licenses. To express interest, submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS). For more information, visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal. No follow-on procurement is expected from this notice.
