RHRC AWARDED NASA PHASE II SBIR

October 6, 2003 - Rolling Hills Research Corporation is pleased to announce that it has been selected by NASA Dryden Flight Research Center for a Phase II Small Business Innovative Research award.  The RHRC program is entitled "Robust Flow Control for Radically Enhanced Natural Laminar Flow Wings."  Dr. Michael Kerho will act as the Principle Investigator for the program, which will draw on his expertise in natural laminar flow airfoil design.  The program will seek to radically widen the NLF drag bucket using a robust flow control system.  The widened bucket will allow high altitude aircraft to carry more payload to altitude, or more fuel to altitude for longer endurance.
