BOULDER, Colorado – February 20, 2008 –The Unites States Air Force’s Arnold
Engineering Development Center has granted Zolo Technologies $1 million for the
development of in-flight combustion measurement of SCRAMJETs. This innovative
technology will provide tracking of engine efficiency and enable the reduction of harmful
emissions during flight.
Zolo Technologies will build and support the flight testing of two series of wavelength- multiplexed tunable diode laser sensors designed to measure inside the SCRAMJET engine during flight. The system will measure temperature, density and velocity as well as O2, CO, CO2, and H2O simultaneously in the engine of a SCRAMJET-powered vehicle. The first system will be executed in the spring of 2008 in the Australian outback, while the second will be put into operation in early 2009.
