Last week, Dr. Hartl and graduate students Pedro Leal and Patrick Walgren attended the biggest aerospace conference in the nation, the”AIAA Science and Technology Forum (AIAA SciTech 2019)”. Among the more than 2500 technical presentations held during the conference, the Maestro group was directly involved with four papers. Pedro presented his work related to morphing wings result of the collaboration with Utah State University (USU) in the low-boom supersonic aircraft development project. Patrick, as shown below, presented his high-fidelity simulation work regarding bending cylinders in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). This was a great opportunity for networking with new (Lockheed, Boom, and others) and old (USU, Purdue, AFRL, and others) colleagues as well as learning about cutting edge research.
