Testing new designs for jet engine turbines is no easy task. Wind tunnels are large, complicated, and expensive; and building functional prototypes takes a long time. But Purdue University researchers now have an alternative: a water table which simulates supersonic flow, enabling them to quickly test and iterate their designs.
The AFSB brings together subject matter experts from across aerospace to provide independent, objective, and authoritative external advice to the Department of the Air Force.
These international teams will test their pursuit, sense-and-avoid and navigation software in the largest indoor motion-capture environment in the world: the Purdue UAS Research and Test Facility (PURT).
The award-winning distinguished professor will deliver the keynote address at the university’s spring commencement ceremony for master’s and doctoral students.
This prototype wheelchair is based on another design, also patented, developed by a team of mostly PurdueAAE students for the 2020 FAA Challenge: Smart Connected Aviation. AAE professor Dengfeng Sun served as the team's academic mentor.
Purdue's Formula SAE student racing team recently achieved the best result in their team’s 30-year history, thanks in large part to RCAC's Scholar computing cluster.
Seetha Raghavan has been selected among the three Distinguished Purdue Alumni Scholars for exceptional leadership and significant contributions to their fields.
