Purdue and U of A Students Conduct Research with a Flight Simulator

Nina Kondur, an Aerospace Engineering senior from Purdue University, is working as a research assistant at the ASYST lab in Summer ’24. Meanwhile, Ryker Davis, a Mechanical Engineering senior from the University of Arkansas, has joined the research to evaluate pilots’ proficiency in energy management principles. In this photo, the student researchers are setting up the Redbird SD flight simulator at the Fayetteville Public Library for the research experiment with pilots.

Congratulations to Lauren and Samson for the Honors Research Grants!

After Sydney Sommers was awarded the Honors Research Grant in Spring 2024, we have two more undergraduate students, Lauren Westfall and Samson Parker, who have secured the grant. This grant will help them support their honors thesis research starting Fall 2024!
