The work of two GT-AE faculty, Dr. Mark Costello and Dr. Massimo Ruzzene, is pushing this scenario from concept to reality.

Funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) the duo -- and a team of dedicated GT graduate students from the CAMM Lab -- have created a prototype (Rotor Buzz) that was recently displayed at the DARPA Wait, What? Forum on Future Technologies in St. Louis.

ROTOR BUZZ RULES. Find out what DARPA had to say about this new GT-AE prototype and see it in actionhere.  The project manager on this project, research engineer Mike Ward, worked with graduate students from the CAMM Lab:  Dooroo Kim, Jared Langley, Vasu Manivannan, and William Johnson.
