Niharika Navin and Ashley Sawa are among the 2026 Knights of St. Patrick. Both are 4th-year students in @uofigrainger @UofIllinois and demonstrate outstanding leadership, character and contributions to the college and its students. aerospace.illinois.edu/news/81083.

Undergrad AE students at Illinois are required to take 2 courses on basic structural and material mechanics. Now they can take elective courses on advanced space structures developed and taught by Xin Ning, who uses origami as one tool for teaching. aerospace.illinois.edu/news/79514

THE WINNING MOMENT 🌲 @StanfordWVB erase a 14-11 fifth-set deficit to hold on for a crucial 3-2 victory over No.3 Pitt. The Cardinal wins the top-five matchup and stands alone atop @theACC! 📺 » ACCNX #GoStanford

Who said wizards can’t teach Applied Aerodynamics; they fly on brooms after all! #Halloween with an outfit change was so fun today! My minions (grad students) also played the part so I had to swap Harry Potter for Gru in the afternoon. #PanelMethods #HappyPotter #DespicableMe

Three PhD students were recently recognized as the best for their research. Matteo Guidotti, advised by Matthew Clarke, Himmat Panag, advised by Robyn Woollands and Bryan Cline, advised by Joshua Rovey and Robyn Woollands. Read more about their work at aerospace.illinois.edu/news/7755

Airline Videos Live takes you behind the scenes at JetZero headquarters in Long Beach, California, for an up-close look at what could be the future of airline travel. The all-wing Z4 aircraft is unlike anything flying today, featuring a bold design focused on improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and a reimagined passenger experience. Go inside the hangar and see how JetZero is working to reshape the future of flight.

Congrats to @ManUtd for pulling off an upset win against @BurnleyOfficial ! I think I got that correct 🧐.

Best of luck to all the new students starting their journeys at @UofIllinois!

Thanks to everyone that reported my account hack this morning! I am working with X to secure it permanently. I am not as active on this platform as I was in grad school so please notify me if you suspect any more malicious activity.

First Graduates of the Lab for Electric Aircraft Design and Sustainability!!! 🎉🎊🥂🥳 #AerospaceEngineering @UofIllinois

@joelmpm Honestly…there is something about the rain ..

Our team had a great time at the awards ceremony at #AIAASciTech, taking home TWO Best Paper Awards for our work published at the AIAA Aviation Forum 2024! It’s an honor to share these achievements with such an amazing team of collaborators. @IDEASLabUM @aiaa

As SUAVE phases out, its successor, RCAIDE, revolutionizes aircraft design and analysis. From commercial airliners to UAVs and next-generation hybrid-electric aircraft, RCAIDE provides comprehensive multi-disciplinary analysis tools backed by validated engineering methods.

I am incredibly excited to announce the launch of RCAIDE. From the success of SUAVE, the aircraft tool used by over 10K aircraft designers globally, our team embarked on a journey to architect a new code. rcaide.leadsresearchgroup.com

Some exciting new on the horizon!!! Stay tuned.

I am incredibly excited to announce the Sustainable Aviation Technology Dashboard 2.0! Since its launch in March, this interactive tool has registered over #2000 interactions per month!!! youtu.be/R_4eqRuHGaM?si… via @YouTube

@sommerfhill More HU-bred processors!! Congrats @sommerfhill 🎊
