Through this project, the team will explore advanced configurations that deliver superior aerodynamic efficiency, investigate methods for simplified transition control and reduced rotor interference, and evaluate strategies to achieve enhanced cruise performance—collectively advancing sustainable VTOL technology for next-generation applications in air taxis, precision agriculture, aerial inspections, and future urban air mobility systems. 

The project intends to develop and test a Digital Twin of Solid Rocket Motors to enhance U.S. defense readiness, reduce testing costs, accelerate design validation, improve reliability, and ensure mission assurance. 

This project intends to support the EPA by developing high-pressure PFAS incineration methods that ensure complete mineralization, minimize toxic byproducts, and protect environmental and public health from persistent contaminants.
