The Aviation Engineering Laboratory is dedicated to (1) teaching related demonstration for aerodynamics, propulsion, and flight control systems courses, and (2) research and development projects on advanced UAV control, robotic technologies, and indoor navigation. The lab is equipped with a Price Induction Virtual Engine Test Bench, a GUNT H170 low speed open wind tunnel, 5 sets of Cessna flight simulator, and an Cockpitsonic A320 FTD flight simulator for teaching purpose. In addition, it consists of an approximate 8m (L) x 6m (W) x 4m (H) UAV testing area covered by a 14-camera VICON 3D motion capture system for advanced indoor navigation and robotic control researches.
