Development of Parking Space App
PI Ilteris Demirkiran
CO-I Diego Rincon
The main purpose of this project is to reduce the wait and search time for an individual who is looking to park his or her vehicle at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach campus. This project is to help in reducing fuel consumption as well as making campus roads safer. An additional benefit is the ability to continuously monitor all parking lots on campus increasing overall campus safety.

Material Selections and Manufacturing Methods for Multipurpose Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (SUAVs)
PI John Leishman
CO-I Trevor Perrott
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) issues regulations defining the Design/Build/Fly (DBF) Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (SUAV) design competition. This program centers on exploring both new and traditional aircraft design and manufacturing approaches for SUAVs that are optimized for the missions specified by the DBF competition. In-depth material selection studies will be executed and documented as part of the detail design phase of the aircraft. The aircraft’s mission-specific structural strength-to-weight ratio will be studied and optimized.

Aeroelastic Design of a Lightweight, Flexible Wing
PI Claudia Moreno
CO-I Bruno Malo Torres Trueba
CO-I Carlos Marquez Ramos
CO-I Alejandro Aguilar
CO-I Luis Otero
Summary:
The need for improved performance and reduced operational costs has led modern aircraft designers to adopt lightweight, flexible wings. A technical challenge associated with these designs is that the large in-flight deformations of the wings lead to an adverse interaction between the aircraft aerodynamic forces and structural forces. Our proposed methodology addresses three key technologies: (i) design, (ii) construction and, (iii) experimental analysis of a flexible wing that exhibits excessive vibrations.
