Dr. Onur Bilgen, Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Rutgers University, was featured in an episode of the Drone Radio Show to discuss bioinspired ornithopters (flapping-wing drones modeled after bird and insect flight) and smart materials in next-generation aircraft design.
Dr. Bilgen conducts research in advanced drone systems including fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, hybrid drone systems, and bioinspired ornithopters, and has led NASA University Student Research Challenge projects such as the development of a Multi-Mode Hybrid Unmanned Delivery System.
He teaches a graduate course at Rutgers called Drones: Fundamentals and Applications and has expanded drone education and testing capabilities through the Rutgers Drone Playground and the Buehler Drone Lab's VICON Motion Tracking System.
