"The University of Missouri – Rolla has proven time and again they are a great resource for engineering research. It is a real honor for the university to be included as one of eight schools nationwide in this collaborative project. I am certain the University will be a credit to our district as work gets underway."
The FAA Center of Excellence for Aircraft Noise and Aviation Emissions Mitigation is a partnership of academia, industry, and government created to identify solutions for existing and anticipated aircraft noise and emissions-related problems.
"Logistical problems facing the airline industry need solutions now. Noise and pollution are growing concerns, and there is no quick fix. The University of Missouri – Rolla has a tremendous opportunity to put its expertise to work solving these problems for the air transportation industry."
