A New Space for Safety
PROPELLING BEYOND
Members of Embry-Riddle’s Experimental Rocket Propulsion Laboratory (ERPL) are building a state-of-the-art rocket fuel-feed system that will allow students to test liquid-propelled rocket engines safely and consistently from Cecil Spaceport in Jacksonville, Florida.
The Boeing Company has provided Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a $5.1 million donation for a research center that will drive safety improvements throughout the industry. The newly named Boeing Center for Aviation and Aerospace Safety at Embry-Riddle, charged with advancing the safety of all who fly, will conduct independent research aimed at mitigating known and emerging operational safety risks. The center, set to open in January 2024, will occupy a 13,000-square- foot building on Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach, Florida, campus that features offices and lab space as well as a dedicated classroom for safety- related professional education courses. The Boeing Center for Aviation and Aerospace Safety at Embry-Riddle will provide an infrastructure for systematically investigating and reducing safety risks, from technological challenges to human factors. We are grateful to Boeing for
