Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that uses active and passive tags to communicate via radio signals at various frequencies. Currently, it is being used in several applications in areas like merchandise tracking during transit, inventory management, access control for authorized personnel, and data sharing via Near Field Communication (NFC). RFID technology is used in airports to track both people (passengers and employees) and luggage. For employees, RFID helps control access to specific areas based on their role or hierarchy within the organization, allowing them to enter restricted zones based on their permissions. For passengers, RFID plays a crucial …
Aircraft Leading Edge Strakes On Conventional Naca Wings, Anthony Pirone
Aircraft Leading Edge Strakes On Conventional Naca Wings, Anthony Pirone
Discovery Day - Prescott
The prevention of stall on aircraft wings has been a great challenge over the history of airplanes. As the aircraft become more and more complex, it becomes harder to fit high lift devices and leading-edge devices onto high camber, supercritical airfoil aircraft wings. In the fighter jet class of aircraft the obstacle of stall is usually delayed by the implementation of leading-edge root extensions or strakes. Strakes create a tip vortice along the sharp leading edge that transitions over the surface of the wing preventing separation on both the upper and lower surface of the wing allowing the fighter jet …

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are expected to dominate the National Airspace System (NAS) in the near future. One particular barrier preventing the integration of unmanned aircraft into the NAS is the lack of standardized procedures for distinguishing and communicating with remote UAS operators. In preparation for adopting unmanned flight operations into a complex control system, it is important to identify solutions to effectively control UAS in the NAS. To achieve simultaneous safe manned and unmanned aircraft operations in the NAS, the Joint UAS and ATC Team (JUAT) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) are developing a system that could be used …
Undergraduate Research On General Aviation Hypoxia: A Student’S Perspective, Claire Schindler
Undergraduate Research On General Aviation Hypoxia: A Student’S Perspective, Claire Schindler
Discovery Day - Prescott
During the fall academic term of 2016, an opportunity arose through the College of Aviation to serve as an undergraduate research assistant. Through discussion with faculty mentors, it was decided that a severely overlooked aspect of the aviation industry was survivors of hypoxia, especially in the less regulated general aviation community. The problem this study addresses is the uncertainty of the common circumstances that general aviation pilots find themselves in that create a hypoxic state, as well as whether or not that pilot reported the occurrence to the proper establishments. The results of this study showed not only those that …
