This material is based upon work supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Grant Agreement No. 80NSSC20M0114 issued through Oklahoma Space Grant Consortium. This research is in support of the Fire Dawgs competition team for this year’s SpeedFest competition at Oklahoma State University. This NASA OK Space Grant Consortium funded competition team will compete in the Charlie Class, where an autonomous vehicle will navigate a course and put out a fire.
Robots and self-driving vehicles are useful, especially for hazardous jobs, such as firefighting. The use of high-tech sensing technology is a small part of how self-driving vehicles …

Problem: Traffic significantly limits travel in urban areas. • The NASA Urban Air Mobility Project is developing an air taxi as an alternative mean of transportation (Fig. 1).
Challenge: Operating rotors at different frequencies may cause the cabin to vibrate at high amplitudes. Such effects are currently unknown.
Objective: Understand the effect of variable speed rotors on passenger comfort.
From the reduced-order modeling simulations, it can be assumed that counteracting the rotor speed in-balances can reduce the displacement and vibrations experienced at the center of the wing. In other words, should a rotor not maintain its optimal operation speed, reducing …
