Viability and application of mounting personal PID VOC sensors to small unmanned aircraft systems

  • PI Cheri Marcham

    CO-I Scott Burgess

    CO-I Patti Clark

    CO-I Joseph Cerreta

  • ​This project evaluated the feasibility of using small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) equipped with commercial photoionization detectors to remotely detect and characterize airborne volatile organic compounds. Internal ERAU College of Aviation funding supported interdisciplinary field testing, student involvement, and dissemination through national conferences and a peer-reviewed journal publication.
Virtual Communities of Practice: Scaling, Belonging, and Effective Feedback

  • PI Cristina Cottom

    CO-I Angela Atwell

    CO-I Lisa Martino

    CO-I Sara Ombres

  • The purpose of this research study is to extend CTLE-W's previous research on virtual faculty learning communities (VCoP) by testing a new VCoP for scalability with an expanded participation pool. This study also seeks to increase the sense of belonging among non-collocated faculty participants and to use the VCoP to provide continuing education on effective feedback practices.This VCoP and the research study will last for 8 weeks during the fall and spring. As part of the participation in the VCoP faculty will complete several online asynchronous activities using VoiceThread to discuss effective feedback practices, as well as a survey at the beginning and end of their VCoP experience. 

Vision and Wireless-Based Surveying for Intelligent OSAM Navigation (VISION)

  • PI Hever Moncayo

    CO-I Kadriye Merve Dogan

  • ​In this project, which is a SpaceWERX Phase I STTR program with Orbital Prime, we are developing algorithms to increase autonomy of OSAM applications. 
Volusia County Transportation Challenge: A Commentary Report on Volusia County's Long Range Transportation Plan

  • PI Ahmed Abdelghany

  • The objective of this project is to evaluate the long-term (5-10 years) transportation plan of Volusia county.

Wake Vortex Safety Analysis in the Context of UAS Integration in the NAS

  • PI Vladimir Golubev

  • ​This project is a collaboration with several research organizations under the supervision of FAA. The focus  of the current research efforts is on developing and employing variable-fidelity prediction approaches to examine safety implications of the future integration of variable-size UAS systems in the National Aerospace System (UAS). 

What Differentiates Superior Performing Aviation and Aerospace Leaders

  • PI Linda Pittenger

  • The requirements of leaders today are radically different than just a couple years ago. Leaders need to be able to manage change, think critically, act globally, think technologically, and successfully lead a diverse workforce. Specific behavioral competencies may distinguish superior performing leaders from average performing leaders
Wind Powered Water Pump

  • PI Jeff Brown

    CO-I Christopher Hays

  • The vision of the Wind-Powered Water Pump project is to develop a template for the development of long-range water transportation in areas where no other external energy sources are available.
Wingsuit Aerodynamic Performance Measurement and Design Improvements

  • PI Timothy Sestak

  • Wingsuit flight and wingsuit design is in its pioneering stages. Development of wingsuits with regards to aerodynamics is rudimentary, and has been done primarily by a process of trial and error, and lacks solid aerodynamic foundation. A wingsuit is essentially a ram-air inflated airfoil structure with a human pilot inside.
Wireless Communication Testbed for Internet-of-Things Research
  • Research work to develop Wireless IoT Testbed at ERAU – Prescott campus. The testbed developed currently has three nodes, and is being used for Research and Teaching (EE424-Wireless Communications).
Workplace Accident Survey

  • PI Mark Friend

  • Random employees of unspecified companies will be interviewed to ID cause(s) of accidents in which they were involved.  The goal is to determine if they could have been prevented by adjustments to the overall sysem.
