WHERE DOES THE FUTURE OF AEROSPACE TAKE FLIGHT?
Orange is the Answer
With the largest and most established aerospace engineering program in the state,
OSU has long been a global leader in aerospace, defense and aviation research, conducting
large-scale research with the FAA, NASA, Air Force, Navy, Army and Special Operations
Command. OSU faculty members conduct research with industry partners such as Pratt
and Whitney, Kratos, Skydweller, Zivco, Frontier Electronics Corp., Vigilant Aerospace
Systems, Toyota and many others. Guided by the land-grant mission, OSU is reaching
new heights as Oklahoma’s aerospace leader.
Who leads aerospace in Oklahoma?
Orange is the Answer. The Oklahoma Aerospace Institute for Research and Education is leading the way in
Advanced Air Mobility, which will revolutionize the use of drones in daily life. With $38.2 million in recent federal grants, OSU — as part of the Tulsa Regional Advanced Mobility Corridor — will help create the next intersection point between aerospace and intelligence
by furthering drone technology.
Where does aerospace soar?
Orange is the Answer. Through the LaunchPad Center for Advanced Air Mobility at OSU-Tulsa’s Helmerich Research
Center, OSU engineers and researchers partner with industry leaders to promote the
development of new technologies in advanced mobility. The LaunchPad Center will support
the deployment of emerging aviation technologies, including unmanned systems with
uses ranging from critical infrastructure inspection and agricultural monitoring to
emergency response and last-mile delivery, bringing the future closer to today.
When NASA needs research, where does it turn?
Orange is the Answer. OSU researchers are stepping up to lead the way in unique, first-of-its-kind research
opportunities with partners like NASA. By participating in the completion of NASA’s
OSIRIS-REx mission, OSU offered unique opportunities to students beyond the boundaries
of a traditional classroom while contributing to finding solutions to global challenges.
Where can we find state-of-the-art aerospace research facilities?
Orange is the Answer.
ENDEAVOR is a three-story, 72,000-square-foot laboratory where students can take classroom
theories and apply them with hands-on learning.
EXCELSIOR is part of OSU’s Unmanned Systems Research Institute. It provides high-level
educational opportunities for research related to the environment, ecology, weather,
climate change and national security.
