Lab Members attend AIAA AVIATION

Posted on July 17, 2019 by mhetlage

In June, multiple lab members attended the 2019 AIAA AVIATION Forum in Dallas, Texas. Yue, Maddie, and Boris each presented work discussed in conference papers. You can check out their papers here, here, and here. Dr. Limbach also gave a presentation on the effects of atmospheric variation on in-flight sonic boom prediction with LIDAR. It was a great week of research feedback, networking, and learning about the future of flight, all at a venue only a few hours from College Station!

Welcome!
