Cadet Austin Adams '19, LTC Andrew Bellocchio (Dept. of Civil and Mechanical Engineering (CME)), and CPT Art Murphy (CME) toured the Ames Research Center at Moffett Federal Airfield. CDT Adams is part of a senior capstone project that is investigating rotor and hub fairings that reduce the drag on Future Vertical Lift aircraft. The Army's Aviation Development Directorate is sponsoring the project and will host aerodynamic testing at the facility this spring.
