The College of Aeronautics and Engineering is thrilled to announce the integration of virtual reality technology into its senior-level Professional Pilot course

This is the second year in a row that the Flying Flashes have won the Air Race Classic and the Certified Flight Instructor of the year awards. Last year’s flight instructor competition was also won by one of our female students.

Kent State University will celebrate the Flying Flashes, Peyton Turner and Laura Wilson, who defended the team’s title by winning the 2023 Air Race Classic.

The Kent State High Powered Rocket Team attended the 2023 Spaceport America Cup in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

The project team, led by Yanhai Du, Ph.D., developed a lightweight-high-energy-density onboard power source that enables vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) type aircraft to potentially increase flight time and payload.

On Monday, June 27, the Kent State University College of Aeronautics and Engineering community welcomed Team 52, the Flying Flashes, back from the 45th Annual Air Race Classic.
