Falcon Ten Data To Be Available For Engineering
Instruction
Dassault Falcon has agreed to make data from its Falcon 10
business jet available as an educational resource to student
engineers at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in a
collaboration aimed at bringing engineering students and industry
closer together. A memorandum of understanding was signed July 1 at
Embry-Riddle's Daytona Beach campus by Lionel De La Sayette (below,

Frederick-Recascino (below, right), vice president for research at
Embry-Riddle.
"Dassault Falcon is proud to collaborate with Embry-Riddle on
this unique multi-year project," said De La Sayette. "This endeavor
is sure to be fulfilling to the future innovators of the aerospace
industry."
Working in teams with Embry-Riddle faculty and Dassault
engineers, the students will use the data to develop new ideas and
improvements for legacy aircraft like the Falcon 10, which has been
in service for three decades. They will also conduct studies to
reduce the Falcon 10's "flight print," an environmental impact
measurement much like a carbon footprint, looking at issues such as
noise reduction, maintenance costs, and instrumentation and cockpit
redesign.

The research collaboration with
Dassault enhances Embry-Riddle's growing "green engineering"
expertise. Projects being conducted at the university include
design of an aircraft to fly more than 100 mph, reach 4,000 feet,
and achieve more than 200 passenger miles per gallon; testing of
non-leaded renewable biofuel for general aviation aircraft;
engineering of a hybrid automobile; and engineering of wind
turbines, as well as floating turbines to harness energy from the
Gulf Stream current.
