Aviation Management Education Study (AMES)

  • PI Jason Newcomer

    CO-I James Marion

    CO-I Matthew Earnhardt

  • The Aviation Management Education Study (AMES) is a longitudinal effort consisting of a series of research papers covering various facets of aviation education as it pertains to managers in the field and hiring of industry professionals.

Aviation Management Information Systems
  • This research project is concerned with airline information systems. This research effort will be the first to examine airline information systems from a management information system perspective and provide a complete picture of how these inter-related systems work together to achieve operational effectiveness and efficiency.
Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing for General Aviation

  • PI Alan Stolzer

    CO-I Tim Brady

    CO-I Steven Hampton

    CO-I Michael O'Toole

    CO-I Cass Howell

  • In 2009, general aviation (GA) was responsible for approximately 95% of civil aviation accidents and 89% of fatalities. In spite of a safety record in clear need of improvement, there are various safety programs and efforts underway in the commercial sector that are not yet evident in GA.
Aviation Weather Forecast Guidance

  • PI Frederick Mosher

  • Effort is designed to develop aviation weather hazards forecast guidance focused on general aviation interests. The guidance will extend at least 3 1/2 days into the future.
Aviation/Aerospace Research: Suborbital Space Flight Simulator

  • PI Pedro LLanos

    CO-I Erik Seedhouse

  • The Suborbital Space Flight Simulator (SSFS) replicates in-vehicle parameters of a suborbital launch vehicle. These suborbital missions can be monitored from the Mission Control Center (MCC). These flight parameters include the size, general layout, and typical system indicators for a suborbital spaceflight mission, as well as an approximate replication of the visuals that would be seen on a suborbital spaceflight mission. The SSFS can be configured to replicate the mission profile and layout of multiple suborbital launch vehicles. The SSFS records 56 flight data parameters that can be used for studies. The SSFS can potentially be used by multiple organizations, with multiple capabilities.

Bayesian Analysis of Stellar Evolution

  • PI Theodore von Hippel

  • Bayesian Analysis of Stellar Evolution is an international collaboration studying stellar evolution with an emphasis on stellar ages. We also develop and support a Bayesian software suite that recovers star cluster and stellar parameters from photometry, currently called BASE-9.
Behavior of superalloys subjected to fatigue loads under high temperature

  • PI Alberto Mello

    CO-I Paulina De La Torre Morales

    CO-I Open Position - New students are welcome

  • This study is evaluating what initial conditions can activate cubic slip planes, then the level of accommodation and strain homogenization within the grain, and how a given initial condition affects the material behavior when subjected to operational cyclic loads under high temperature.
Best practices in teaching statistics and research methods within an aviation curriculum

  • PI Robert Walton

  • Student learning assessment is necessary at most universities, the question is whether or not student learning assessment though the use of tests can be turned into a less anxiety-provoking experience and, most ideally, into a summative learning experience for students. Using a three-test format student assessment this research examined an alternate testing paradigm, aiming directly at anxiety associated with tests and grades.

Big Data Analytics for Injury Data

  • PI Dothang Truong

  • This project leverages big data analytics tools for the exploration and transformation of injury data for a major Part 121 carrier with the goal of predictive modeling. This project offers graduate students an opportunity to work with a substantial airline dataset under the supervision of a faculty member. The outcomes have the potential to lead to more extensive future projects in the realm of big data analytics. (This project is under strict NDA).
Biodiesel Fuel Production and Testing for an Aerospace Class Jet Engine

  • PI Marc Compere

  • The research project is studying the production of a standards compliant bio-diesel fuel from the campus cafeteria's waste cooking oil using the bio-diesel reactor in the Mechanical Engineering department.
Bird Strike - The Effect of the Leading Edge Radius on the Behavior of the Bird Upon Impact

  • PI Alberto Mello

    CO-I Kiran Kumar Avula

    CO-I James Pembridge

  • This project is in partnership with Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation under MMSE program.

    Birds pose a major threat to aviation. Bird impact can lead to significant damage of the aircraft and can be sometimes catastrophic. For a damage tolerant design of an aircraft structure, the structure has to fulfill the airworthiness specifications prescribed by FAA or EASA. 

Blue Origin’s Suborbital Research: CRExIM

  • PI Pedro LLanos

    CO-I Sathya Gangadharan

  • This research conducted with Co-Investigators Sathya Gangadharan (ERAU) and Kristina Andrijauskaite (MUSC/UTHSCSA), funded by ERAU’s Faculty Research Development Program, was ERAU's first suborbital payload aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard launched December 12, 2017. The main aim of this research was to investigate the effect of microgravity on T-cells and to understand how this research could be used to develop T-cell-based therapeutics for cancer patients. A second goal was to monitor the environment that T-cells encountered during suborbital flight. The recorded data will be used to better understand the behavior and functionality of the T-cells when exposed to different stressors.
