Why Partner with ERAU?
Research Park
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has a strong research initiative to foster a research and development rich community among faculty and staff with R&D expected to double within the next 5 to 10 years.
The Congressman John Mica Engineering and Aerospace Innovation Complex at Embry-Riddle Research Park is a 90-acre Aerospace Research and Technology Park in Daytona Beach, FL. The MicaPlex gives local students and faculty the hands-on ability to find solutions to real-world problems. With an experimental aerodynamics laboratory and wind tunnel in the works, the MicaPlex is poised to attract aerospace, aviation, engineering and technological industry leaders from across the globe.
Florida Test Bed
The Florida Test Bed facility houses technology that is being developed which will support the nation's expanding air transportation needs into the rest of this century. Research at the facility will contribute to reducing fuel consumption and associated emissions, improving situational awareness for pilots, and providing safer and more efficient passenger service.
