Earlier this week, one of our AFRS board members had the opportunity to mentor the talented students at the Ohio State University Aviation and Technology branch as they worked on the GoAERO Project.

The GoAERO Project is an international initiative focused on developing unmanned rescue aircraft with the potential to save lives across the globe.

It was an honor for AFRS to have one of our own encourage these students as they push the boundaries of what’s possible in aviation technology. Supporting and inspiring the next generation of innovators is central to our mission.

We encourage you to keep an eye on the GoAERO project as they advance this incredible project that is partnered by industry leaders such as Boeing, NASA, RTX, Honeywell, Iridium, Reliable Robotics, Global Aerospace, Gardner Aviation, ARK Electronics, HiTec, ALTAIR, Dassault Systèmes, NUAIR, and many more.
