Shaping the Future of Naval Aircraft with Northrop Grumman

Schultz-Creehan awarded contract with global security and technology leader to develop aircraft landing pads.

Blacksburg, VA, February 20, 2009 --(PR.com)-- High-tech research and development engineering firm Schultz-Creehan LLC has been awarded a contract with global security and technology leader Northrop Grumman Corporation. Drawing on their materials characterization and selection capabilities, Schultz-Creehan, along with Virginia Tech, will address specific challenges associated with high temperatures on Naval landing pads to improve their sustainability.

During its initial phase, Schultz-Creehan will be involved with an intense research and testing process to identify candidate composite materials for the landing pads which can tolerate extreme exhaust conditions. Combinations of these substances will then be simulated using a thermal model to determine the best solution for the landing pad material.
