NASA's Glenn Research Center plans to issue a Research Announcement for two studies: a Ceramic Matrix Composite Manufacturing Study and an Open Fan Flight Demonstration Study. These studies will inform the new Subsonic Vehicles Technologies and Tools Project, which aims to advance radical aircraft and engine technologies. The anticipated release date for the solicitation is on or about April 23, 2026. All technical questions must be submitted via email by 5:00 PM EDT on April 7, 2026. The performance location is the NASA Glenn Research Center.

NASA is seeking capability statements for two studies: a Ceramic Matrix Composite Manufacturing Study and an Open Fan Flight Demonstration Study, to inform future technology work. This is a market research request, not a solicitation, and responses are due by 5:00 PM EDT on March 20, 2026. The work is for NASA's Glenn Research Center, and responses must be submitted electronically to a specified email address. The government may set aside the work for small businesses based on the responses received. Respondents will not receive individual feedback, but NASA may publish a list of responding firms to facilitate teaming unless a firm opts out.
