EMBRY-RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY
AIR AND SPACE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the world’s leading aviation educator, is leveraging applied research to help shape the future of the aviation/aerospace industry. Our researchers collaborate with industry partners to advance uncrewed aerial systems, hybrid-electric propulsion for urban air mobility and design resilient aerospace systems.
At Embry-Riddle’s Research Park, innovators have secured FAA approval to fly drones beyond the visual line of sight. Such advancements require a laser focus on safety as well as engineering know-how to improve the capabilities of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). In support of space enterprise, researchers are developing modular, reusable satellites to reduce space junk, studying materials to keep astronauts safer and inventing solar-propelled sails for satellites. Researchers use our subsonic wind tunnel to analyze and solve problems such as how to land helicopters safely on ships. The Eagle Flight Research Center’s mission is to advance crewed and uncrewed flight through the fusion of theoretical and hardware-based research related to alternative propulsion, flight control, autonomy and the development of novel aircraft. Current areas of interest include green aviation, electric and hybrid-electric propulsion, noise reduction, advanced and urban air mobility and the controls to guide those aircraft. The Advanced Dynamics and Control Laboratory (ADCL) supports research activities focused on the development and implementation of guidance, navigation and control of aerospace systems. This includes performing complex tasks in space using robotic tools. The Astrodynamics and Spacecraft Lab supports cutting-edge research activities related to spacecraft formation flight, on-orbit servicing and space debris removal. The lab is the home of two research groups: ADAMUS (ADvanced Autonomous MUltiple Spacecraft) and ASPROS (Autonomous SPacecraft and RObotic Systems). The Space Technologies Laboratory (STL) conducts research on spaceflight hardware and algorithms, focusing on proximity operations, relative motion, optical navigation, and design capabilities for nano-satellites, directly contributing to small satellite technology development and operation. Research areas encompass various aspects of spaceflight. The Wireless Devices and Electromagnetics (WIDE) Laboratory researchers work to advance knowledge and applications in connected wireless systems, antennas, sensors and cyber-physical systems. This includes improving the performance of advanced manufacturing techniques for RF and optical communications applications.
