NEW NON-COMPETITIVE AWARD FOR UT DALLAS UNDER FOA NUMBER DE-FOA-0001953 (TINA-CABLES). PROJECT TITLE: ''HIGH POWER DENSITY COST-EFFECTIVE MC DC AIRCRAFT CABLE'' THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS PATH IS TO MAKE THE POWER DENSITY OF MORE ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT (MEA) AND ALL ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT (AEA) CLOSER TO THAT OF CONVENTIONAL AIRCRAFT. TO THIS END, AN ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM (EPS) WITH HIGH POWER DELIVERY AND LOW SYSTEM MASS IS NECESSARY. AS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF AIRCRAFT EPS, CABLES ARE NECESSARY TO TRANSMIT POWER FROM ONE NODE TO ANOTHER.
