Description
Louthan Engineering is teaming with HiPerformance LLC in submitting this proposal for a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research Program. This proposal encompasses the development of performance goals and the resultant design of a combined engine-turbocharger to service the small UAS community. Louthan Engineering has extensive experience with both the subject engine (the AIE 40S) and the Aerocharger The Phase I proposal will leverage existing technologies and investments in the field. Specifically, the AIE 40S engine is in production and has demonstratedoperation on heavy fuel. UAS. HiPerformance has a history of more than 200 engineering programs used to develop the current family of Aerocharger turbochargers and related technologies. The Aerocharger turbocharger is uniquely suited to leverage an existing / proven commercial product which would be scaled to meet the airflow rates of the UAS application.
