AEDC Spark Tank awards funding to multiple proposals

This pie chart shows the funding breakdown for the proposals submitted for consideration in the Arnold Engineering Development Complex Spark Tank. The AEDC Spark Tank allowed members of the AEDC workforce to propose suggestions for how to improve AEDC process, products and test capabilities. Eight of the 14 projects presented were awarded funding. Five of the eight awardees received funding via the AEDC Innovation Grant. Two were funded through the AEDC Innovation Center, as those proposals pertain to the facility. The remaining awardee received funds from a long-range planning project.
