Center for Adaptive Aerospace Vehicle Technology  
Director: Prof. James Hubbard, University of Maryland

The Center for Adaptive Aerospace Vehicle Technology develops and supports multidisciplinary teams pursuing revolutionary research to enable efficient multi-point vehicles that provide performance on demand and operate in an integrated airspace-vehicle environment.

Center focus areas include active flow and noise control and unsteady fluid mechanics and their integration with adaptive structural concepts, and intelligent distributed sensors and flight controls.

The Center explores the application of emerging technologies for revolutionary vehicle concepts, including the exploration of bio-inspired approaches to controls and autonomous behaviors, and the potential application of biomimetic, nanostructured, multifunctional materials.
