Woman Owned Business Certification Obtained
The latest news? Baere has successfully completed the certification process to be listed as a woman-owned business. So now we not only are one, we can prove it. This will be useful for those of you working on projects where working with a woman-owned business gives you those desirable check-offs on the application.
We just returned from the annual Coordinating Research Council meetings and it is obvious that the economic times are creating some continuing challenges for advancement in the aerospace and aviation arenas. But there are a number of new an interesting research technologies being developed. We may be being more cautious with our resources but we are not standing still.
One of Baere's newest activities is supporting the State of Indiana in work to let people in the industry know how large an aerospace and defense support footprint we really have. For those of you looking for opportunities to grow your own aerospace footprint or needing suppliers of aerospace quality products, Indiana is really a good place to look. Contact Ryan Metzing at Conexus for all the details. rmetzing@conexusindiana.com
The Purdue project with the National Testing Facility for Fuels and Propulsion (NaTeF) continues to move forward. They are in the process of installing a dynomometer, the emissions equipment is functional, and the materials laboratory is being used. If you are looking for a research partner or a place to go in between the lab and a major (i.e. expensive) industry test, check out NaTeF. Contact David Stanley (stanledl@purdue.edu).
Oh, and watch this space! The ASTM Guidance Document my team has been developing has gone out for its first ballot. Hopefully we'll have news on the status soon! For those folks working on fluids to replace 100LL, this will be the roadmap for generating data to bring to the ASTM.
As always, we invite your questions, comments and opportunities to work with you. Drop us an email or call. We love working with you all.
