The Simulation to Flight Applied Research (S2FAR) Laboratory is located at Oklahoma State University's Tulsa campus in the Helmerich Research Center. Conveniently located near downtown Tulsa, OSU-Tulsa connects academia with industry partnerships in the region.
S2FAR Researches:
The S2FAR Lab performs research involving the rapid development of subscale unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). As the name suggests, the lab specializes in taking a vehicle concept and going from simulation to flight. Subscale UAVs can be used for a multitude of purposes, including flight control law development, guidance and navigation, aerodynamic validation, atmospheric measurements, swarm technology, and aero-propulsive interaction testing. Full-scale vehicle concepts can also make use of subscale vehicles as Risk Reduction Test Vehicles (RRTVs). S2FAR works with multi-rotor, fixed-wing, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and rotorcraft vehicle configurations.
