AMELIA hybrid aircraft. Illustration of AMELIA (Advanced Model for Extreme Lift and Improved Aeroacoustics),a possible future hybrid wing subsonic vehicle with short takeoff and landing capabilities and reduced noise pollution. The design was funded by a NASA Research Agreement with the California Polytechnic State Institute (Cal Poly). Other research partners include Georgia Tech Research Institute,DHC Engineering,and Paterson Labs. A model of this configuration was tested in a NASA wind tunnel in 2011. AMELIA is part of the part of the Fundamental Aeronautics Program operated by NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate | |
