Researchers in the Penn State Department of Mechanical Engineering recently received a $389,919 grant from the National Science Foundation to investigate, explore and innovate new flying mechanisms for micro air vehicles to better mimic the performance and agility of flying animals.
Four projects have been selected to receive funding through the Penn State College of Engineering's new Multi-campus Seed Grant program. The program aims to foster research collaborations between engineering faculty at the University Park campus and at the Commonwealth campuses.
