Researching unmanned aircraft system flights
Todd Mabry of Hattiesburg, a Mississippi State master's student in aerospace engineering and graduate research assistant with Raspet Flight Research Laboratory, adjusts an array of best-in-class microphones recently at Greenwood-LeFlore Airport聽in preparation for acoustic measurements of an unmanned aircraft system flight. Sponsored by an executive office of the U.S. Special Operations Command, the research one day could enable Army UAS to fly cooler, quieter and聽with聽more efficiency than ever before. With a history of innovation in manned and unmanned flight, Raspet was recently named the Federal Aviation Administration's UAS Safety Research Facility.
