00:00:15,540 --> 00:00:17,420
>>Welcome to the CAS showcase.

3
00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:21,440
>>CAS is new, we were created to help ARMD make wise decisions,

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,440
in what will be the next generation of investments that we are gonna do.

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,420
>>Our stakeholders have challenged us with developing cost-effective flight research vehicles

6
00:00:29,420 --> 00:00:32,600
to demonstrate innovative aerospace technology in flight.

7
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:37,280
>>Can we bring 100 years of aeronautics knowledge to the new entrepreneur's desktop with a

8
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,060
Design Environment for Vertical Lift Vehicles?

9
00:00:40,060 --> 00:00:44,120
>>Can we fly a new aircraft design, never having obtained any wind tunnel data at all?

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,060
Can you get to a flight? Can you design the control system?

11
00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:50,220
Can you do everything just based purely on flight data?

12
00:00:50,220 --> 00:00:56,220
>>Our basic concept is to combine super-capacitor and battery chemistries in one device

13
00:00:56,220 --> 00:01:00,800
to create high power density and high specific energy.

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,900
>>This will be the first manned x-plane with distributed electric propulsion technology.

15
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:07,900
It'll be fully electric with zero in-flight emissions.

16
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:13,680
>>We believe that this novel air structure concept can potentially change how the future air vehicle

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,680
will be designed, and built, and flown.

18
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,020
>>Can we merge a revolutionary concept in material manufacturing with long-standing aeronautics

19
00:01:21,020 --> 00:01:23,580
challenges for the next generation of air vehicles?

20
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:28,420
>>The CAS world is a little bit different than things I've worked on in the past

21
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:34,660
>>The time has come and NASA's stakeholders have challenged NASA to push those technologies

22
00:01:34,660 --> 00:01:42,380
out of the laboratory, off of the computer desktop, and out of the wind tunnel, and into vehicles

23
00:01:42,380 --> 00:01:45,620
so those technologies can be validated.

25
00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:52,400
>>CAS, it starts with an idea, a concept, that has to have five characteristics:

26
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,120
One, that it's targeted.

27
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,580
It's targeted. It's convergent. It's transformative. Rapid execution.
