Research at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will help design the aerodynamics of a rotorcraft that will land on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, as part of NASA’s Dragonfly mission to explore Titan’s “prebiotic” chemistry and habitability. The research is supported by a NASA New Frontiers program contract of $475,000 granted to Dr. Michael Kinzel, associate professor in Embry-Riddle’s Department of Aerospace Engineering.
