NASA Tests 5G-Based Aviation Network to Boost Air Taxi Connectivity
NASA engineers are exploring how the technology used in existing cellphone networks could support the next generation of aviation. In April and May, researchers at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland built two specialized radio systems to study how well fifth-generation cellular network technology, known as 5G, can handle the demands of air taxi communications. […]
NASA Intern Took Career from Car Engines to Cockpits
Some career changes involve small shifts. But for one NASA engineering intern, the leap was much bigger –moving from under the hood of a car to helping air taxis take to the skies. Saré Culbertson spent more than a decade in the auto industry and had been working as a service manager in busy auto […]
