Seeding the Future: Aerodyne Research
Air Force Research Laboratory

With assistance from the Air Force Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer Program, Aerodyne Research, a small business located in Boston, Massachusetts, developed a means of providing a measurement of the amount of soot coming out of the back on an aircraft engine as a function of the amount of the fuel burned. The business anticipates sales of the technology to aircraft manufacturers with a need to ensure their engines meet any regulatory requirements.

According to Aerodyne, the business owes a heavy debt to the SBIR program in that the business would not have been able to make all the changes required to develop the technology without the support of the program. Additionally, half of Aerodyne’s revenues come from instruments sales, many of which have been developed over the years with SBIR funding. More
