Two Cal Poly aerospace engineering professors have each been awarded million dollar contracts with NASA for design research related to future-generation aircraft.
David Marshall and Rob McDonald submitted separate winning proposals to NASA that, if received well by the agency, will be implemented into the design and engineering of commercial aircraft.
“NASA has had a transformation in their philosophy of how they want to do research,” McDonald said.
“They’re getting more and more ambitious and giving out larger awards.”
