The project, named ‘Site Selection and Trajectory Generation for Emergency Landings of Commercial Aircraft (STELA)’ focused on the fuzzy logic framework and associated algorithm which aims at assisting commercial aircraft pilots with landing in cases of total loss of thrust.
The annual TRAKE research seminar, organised by the , took place on Friday 3 May 2024 at the newly inaugurated Engineering Research & Innovation Laboratories.
, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, welcomed the researchers, project leaders and attendees to the third TRAKE yearly seminar, emphasizing the invaluable opportunity for knowledge exchange especially in view of the variety of talks and subjects scheduled for the event.
Addressing the audience, the Pro-Rector for Research and Knowledge Transfer, , detailed the how over the last years UM academics and researchers have consistently improved all research output markers and steadily attracted more research funding.
The event served as a platform to showcase a diverse array of interdisciplinary projects spanning from the design of novel microelectromechanical devices to innovative smart prosthesis and from surface treatments for metallic auto-components to cancer treatments and drug formulations.
Following the welcome messages the researchers delivered technical presentations which were followed by question and comments from audience members. All ten presentations showed notable progress made through the duration of the project, attaining the set targets and deliverables, the significant publication output and the effective utilisation of research resources procured through the broader TRAKE project.
