Compact Air Compressor for Aircraft Active Flow Control

Candent Technologies is proposing to continue the development of its Phase I design of an advanced technology, electric driven air compressor for an aircraft Active Flow Control (AFC) system.  The Candent Team, utilizing its extensive turbomachinery design and development experience, along with their Academic partner, who used their expertise and state of the art technology to design the electrical drive system, has completed an in-depth, extensive preliminary design that can meet all the program requirements. In the Phase II program, the Candent Team will finalize the system design, fabricate prototypes, conduct development testing to verify, validate, and refine the final system design, while advancing the technology to at least a TRL5/6 level.
