JASC Facility Expansion
August 2012—JASC has launched its facility expansion project. The company is building out its Tempe, AZ headquarters and will provide an additional 8,400 sq. ft. of usable space to the existing 20,000 sq. ft. already in use. The new area will feature engineering development labs, high-pressure pneumatic capability, fuel testing, shock and vibration testing, and an expanded aircraft component assembly space, offering better organization and production workflow.
Equipment is being moved into the new space as the buildout moves toward completion.
JASC Participates At 3rd NASA GRC Propulsion Control And Diagnostics Workshop
Matt Caspermeyer of JASC and Bill Heatley of O’Miller Associates attended the 3rd NASA GRC PCD Workshop held February 28-March 1, 2012 at the Ohio Aerospace Institute, Cleveland, OH. The workshop covered various aspects of propulsion controls including Enhanced Engine Control, Model-Based Control and Diagnostics, Distributed Engine Control, Industry Perspectives on Propulsion Control Diagnostic Research, Active Combustion Control, and High-Speed Propulsion Modeling and Control.
Matt (on the left) and Bill also participated in a poster presentation describing the JASC Active Combustion Control Valve concept that is currently in a Phase II SBIR. The High-Frequency Proportional Rotary Fuel Valve is designed to mitigate combustion instabilities at higher frequencies than have been previously achieved (~1000Hz) allowing gas turbines to run at operating points that produce lower emissions and higher performance.
