抖阴旅行射 team鈥檚 efficient unmanned aircraft jetting toward commercialization

Feb. 23, 2012

Propulsion by a novel jet engine is the crux of the innovation behind a University of Colorado Boulder-developed aircraft that鈥檚 accelerating toward commercialization. Jet engine technology can be small, fuel-efficient and cost-effective, at least with Assistant Professor Ryan Starkey鈥檚 design. The 抖阴旅行射-Boulder aerospace engineer, with a team of students, has developed a first-of-its-kind supersonic unmanned aircraft vehicle, or UAV. The UAV, which is currently in a prototype state, is expected to fly farther and faster -- using less fuel -- than anything remotely similar to date.
