SU Recieves Patent to Pursue Research on Wing Design, Wind Turbines

Syracuse University professors Mark Glauser and Hiroshi Higuchi headed a project that could lead to better air craft wing design and applications in wind turbine research. The duo’s work led to a patent received by Syracuse University for research, funded by the Department of Defense.

According to the Central New York Business Journal, the research could lead to more maneuverable aircraft and faster adjustments to changing weather conditions for wind turbines.

"It is really quite gratifying to see this basic research, originally funded by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research, evolve to the point where the technology can positively impact actual aerospace vehicles, as well as its potential for dual use in the renewable energy sector with application to the next generation of wind turbines,'' stated Glauser.
