Eagle Flight Research Center
Embry-Riddle Selected as Part of FAA’S Center of Excellence in UAS
Embry-Riddle’s Eagle Flight Research Center (EFRC) serves as the university’s aerospace R&D facility. The state-of- the-art center is equipped to conduct a variety of projects, including: experimental flight testing, aircraft modifications for FAA certification, design and testing of unmanned aerial systems, development and verification of high-fidelity (up to Level D) flight-data models used in engineering and training simulators and prototype engineering solutions to advance eco-friendly alternatives in aviation.
As a co-founder of ASSURE (Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence), Embry-Riddle will be the technical lead in UAS airport ground operations, UAS pilot and crew training and co-lead in command and communication research. Embry-Riddle will also provide research support in the areas of detect-and-avoid, human factors, air traffic control interoperability, air traffic management, low-altitude operations, wake separation and noise reduction.
Researchers Receive NASA Award to Study Kite-Surfing in the Stratosphere
A team led by professors in the College of Engineering at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach Campus has received one of eight NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program Phase II grants. The award allows the faculty and student research team to continue developing a futuristic concept using unmanned aircraft to gather wind and solar power at 60,000 feet above the Earth that could lead to atmospheric satellites providing communications and surveillance capabilities, among other applications.
