A member of the AIAA Transformational Flight Program Committee with Dr. Seeley, she is also on that committee&#8217;s Challenge Prizes Working Group sub-committee. Her husband,\u00a0Tony Ginn, also of Dryden, directs flight research there. Tony was at the Green Flight Challenge (GFC I) as NASA&#8217;s official judge.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Seeley has been reaching an increasing number of influential people with his persuasive approach. He presented his idea for the Sky Taxi, for instance, to John Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Co-Chair of the President&#8217;s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (P-CAST).<\/p>\n<p>Following GFC I, NASA\u2019s Chief Technologist said that event was, \u201cOne of NASA\u2019s smallest expenditures yet one of our biggest achievements last year.\u201d Indeed, the $1.47 million NASA gave in prizes netted $7.6 million in investments by competitors, and at least 20 STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) graduate theses. Even better, the competition was run by all-volunteer labor, including the entire CAFE Foundation board.<\/p>\n<p>This \u201cbang-for-the-buck\u201d set of results caused the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to call the GFC the \u201cposter child of technology prizes,\u201d and to authorize and encourage all federal agencies, \u201cTo use technology prizes to achieve breakthroughs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even the Governor\u2019s program of planning and research in California has expressed support for such competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the CAFE Foundation proposes a series of new challenges to encourage development of the technologies that would make the proposed sky taxis:<br \/>\n1. Safe<br \/>\n2. Quiet<br \/>\n3. On-demand<br \/>\n4. Sustainable<br \/>\n5. Fast (door-to-door)<br \/>\n6. Affordable<br \/>\n7. Accessible<br \/>\n8. Distributed<br \/>\n9. Point-to-point<br \/>\n10. Publicly Acceptable<br \/>\n11. Ubiquitous<\/p>\n<p>To help a two-seat Sky Taxi reach takeoff speed in a short sprint, CGFC II (CAF\u00c9 Green Flight Challenge II), scheduled for 2014 will require wheel motors that can taxi the airplanes, then accelerate them to 45 mph in only 90 feet. A $1 million prize will accelerate competitors to sign up.<\/p>\n<p>Pancake motors in wheels on a Runway Acceleration Simulator might make the competition look like a very tightly constrained drag race.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8188\" style=\"width: 538px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cafe.foundation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/AIAA-mini-imp.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8188\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8188\" alt=\"Could wheel motors accelerate this airplane to 45 mph in 90 feet?\" src=\"http:\/\/cafe.foundation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/AIAA-mini-imp-528x343.gif\" width=\"528\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cafe.foundation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/AIAA-mini-imp-528x343.gif 528w, http:\/\/cafe.foundation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/AIAA-mini-imp-300x195.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8188\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Could wheel motors accelerate this airplane to 45 mph in 90 feet?<\/p><\/div>\n<p>CFGC III will ask competitors to achieve the lowest noise level in dBa during the acceleration of a 600 kilogram, (1,320 pounds \u2013 the maximum allowed weight for most Light Sport Aircraft) Propeller Acoustic Simulator at 0.3g\u2019s through 50 mph. This 2015 contest will have a $2 million prize. Technologies could include automatic noise reduction propellers, which would use a variety of aerodynamic tricks to achieve low noise levels, or more complex approaches such as tri-coaxial hub motors using contra-rotating propellers of different designs that would cancel out the other props\u2019 noise.<\/p>\n<p>Because Sky Taxis will eventually fly autonomously, the 2016 GFC IV prize of $3 million will go to the craft that can garner the most points during 4D flight, \u201c4D\u201d including time as an element in flight planning and execution. Airplanes would get points for taxiing, taking off, following a 4D flight path, avoiding potentially hazardous traffic, staying within the airplane\u2019s flight envelope, making a pin-point landing and a simulated dead stick landing (with a safety pilot on board).<\/p>\n<p>CGFC V could be most challenging, given the normally mutually exclusive facets of the required performance. A fast, electrically driven, short-takeoff-and-landing vehicle (E-STOL), called for in the 2017, $3 million prize event, will be a challenge to even the most seasoned designers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8187\" style=\"width: 306px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cafe.foundation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/AIAA-raymer-twin.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8187\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8187\" alt=\"Could a future electric light twin look like this?

The winner in this Challenge will be the fastest in an FAI (Federation Aeronautique Internationale) 3 kilometer speed dash \u2013 after demonstrating 32 mph controlled level flight, and registering 65 dBa or less, at 125 from a sensitive microphone in a 45 mph fly-by.<\/p>\n<p>The Sky Taxi Finale in 2018, GFC VI will award $4.5 million to the aircraft which combine the attributes necessary to provide the kind of service travelers will come to love.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Challenges will cost only $3.1 million per year, and if results are as good as those for GFC I, there could be the 245 million pilots flying America\u2019s skies that Dr. Seeley envisions as an outcome for these competitions. They will be able to luxuriate in quiet, safe travel, free of traffic jams and TSA pat-downs. \u00a0Just being able to keep one\u2019s shoes on will make it all worthwhile.<\/p>\n<div id=\"facebook_like\"><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fcafe.foundation%2Fblog%2Fdr-seeley-speaks-at-aiaa-conference-nasa-dryden%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=500&amp;action=like&amp;font=segoe+ui&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:500px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Brien Seeley, Founder and President of the CAFE Foundation, has been giving a series of talks at the Experimental Aircraft Association\u2019s AirVenture 2013, before a gathering of technical experts at NASA\u2019s Dryden Flight Test Center, Edwards Air Force and at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) International Powered Lift Conference in Los [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,3,14,1],"tags":[4065,4066,4073,4070,4072,4067,4071,38,4063,1372,4064,421,99,3992,207,682,895,4068,4069],"class_list":["post-8184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-electric_powerplants","category-gfc","category-sustainable_ga","category-uncategorized","tag-aiaa","tag-american-institute-of-aeronautics-and-astronautics","tag-american-institute-of-aeronautics-and-astronautics-aiaa-international-powered-lift-conference","tag-assistant-to-the-president-for-science-and-technology","tag-co-chair-of-the-presidents-council-of-advisors-on-science-and-technology-p-cast","tag-dan-raymer","tag-director-of-the-white-house-office-of-science-and-technology-policy","tag-dr-brien-seeley","tag-e-stol","tag-eaa","tag-electric-short-takeoff-and-landing-aircraft","tag-experimental-aircraft-association","tag-green-flight-challenge","tag-john-holdren","tag-nasa","tag-nasa-dryden-flight-test-center","tag-pocket-airports","tag-starr-ginn","tag-tony-ginn"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
