UCF Researcher Studies Bird Wings to Improve Stability in Aerial Vehicles Aerospace engineering researcher Samik Bhattacharya received a $441,000 grant to study bird wing morphing, which could improve the stability of unmanned aerial vehicles in strong gusts of wind.
Aerodynamics of Perching Birds Could Inform Aircraft Design A team of UCF researchers have investigated the mystery behind different bird perching maneuvers to better understand the aerodynamic forces of landing an aircraft.
UCF’s 5 NSF CAREER Grant Recipients Making Breakthroughs in Healthcare and Engineering Awardees share common characteristics: curiosity, determination, a love of research, and mentoring students.
UCF Engineering and Biology Researchers Collaborate to Aid Coral Reef Restoration UCF researchers tested how well staghorn coral skeletons withstand the forces of nature and humans in a new study. The findings will inform efforts to successfully transplant nursery-reared coral into the wild.
