Evaluating Preflight Weather Briefing Strategies

  • PI Elizabeth Blickensderfer

    CO-I Thomas Guinn

    CO-I Robert Thomas

  • The objective of this grant is to examine General Aviation (GA) pilots’ capability to conduct Preflight Weather self-briefings as compared to using Flight Services to obtain weather briefings. Previous research indicates that GA pilots are increasingly conducting weather self-briefings during preflight (Duke et al., 2019). Additional research indicates that GA pilots have moderately low performance when interpreting aviation weather observation and forecast products (Blickensderfer et al., 2019). Research is needed to assess and understand the attitudes, knowledge, and performance of GA pilots conducting self-briefings to identify possible gaps and, in turn, provide recommendations for future system design and pilot training.
EVALUATING RESILIENCE IN COMMERCIAL AIRLINES THROUGH SUPPLY CHAIN FLEXIBILITY IN THE PRE & POST COVID-19 WORLD: APPLYING THE SUPPLY CHAIN FLEXIBILITY RATIO

  • PI Stephanie Douglas

  • Measuring supply chain flexibility in the Airline – Mainline Passenger industry.
Evaluating Simulation Tools to Study the Impact of Space Shuttle Launch on the National Air Transportation System

  • PI Ahmed Abdelghany

  • The objective of this project is to provide a comparative study to evaluate the functionalities of the available airspace simulation tools.
Evaluation of potential exposure risks from 3D printing operations using video and direct reading instrument datalogging

  • CO-I Justin Reed

    CO-I Cheri Marcham

  • Internal College of Aviation funding supported a multi-year study evaluating potential particle and VOC exposure risks associated with 3-D printing operations. The work involved student collaboration and resulted in multiple peer-reviewed conference posters and presentations at the American Industrial Hygiene Conference and Exhibition (AIHce), including a virtual presentation in 2021.
Examining and addressing the content knowledge development needs of Florida's aspiring and newly-qualified mathematics teachers

  • PI Catherine Paolucci

    CO-I Darryl Chamberlain

    CO-I Christopher Redding

    CO-I Sam Vancini

    CO-I Ashley Reese

  • This project aims to support content knowledge development for secondary mathematics teachers, particularly those whose pathway to certification has included limited post-secondary studies of mathematics. 
Examining Unstable Approach Predictors Using Flight Data Monitoring Information

  • PI David Carroll

    CO-I David Esser

  • The approach and landing phase of flight is statistically the most dangerous part of flying. While it only accounts for 4% of flight time, it represents 49% of commercial jet mishaps. One key to mitigating the risks involved in this flight segment is the stabilized approach. A stabilized approach requires meeting rigorous standards for many flight parameters as the aircraft nears landing. Exceeding any of these parameters results in an unstable approach (UA). The energy management (EM) accomplished by the flight crew, represented by the EM variables in the study, influences the execution of a stabilized approach.

Exotic Propulsion

  • PI Darrel Smith

  • Exotic propulsion has captured the interest of many Embry-Riddle students. As NASA plans its manned mission to Mars, we come face-to-face with a fundamental dilemma — a round trip to Mars will take almost three years with traditional chemical rockets!
Expanding the Nation’s STEM Talent Pool by Accelerating Graduate Degree Completion in Computer, Software, and Cybersecurity Engineering

  • PI Omar Ochoa

    CO-I Massood Towhidnejad

    CO-I Debarati Basu

  • ​The project will increase student persistence in STEM fields by linking scholarships with a newly created effective ecosystem that combines evidence-based practices such as faculty mentoring, academic advising, participation in the learning community, professional development activities, guidance in acquiring internships and research opportunities.

Experimental Testbed for the Validation of Autonomous ISAM/OSAM Systems

  • PI Morad Nazari

    CO-I Kadriye Merve Dogan

    CO-I Thomas Lovell

  • The ability to validate individual hardware and software components of these technologies on a large scale is still in its early stages. Thus, the goal of this research is to establish an effective experimental testbed for the validation of autonomous in-space servicing and maintenance (ISAM) / on-orbit servicing and maintenance (OSAM) systems.
