Abstract	Tom Cunningham Department of Aeronautics The US Air Force Academy has the mission of cadet based research for the education of future Air Force officers. To that end the Department of Aeronautics faculty members direct all cadets in the department in real work research projects of interest to US government aerospace needs. This involves cadets working in one of the numerous wind tunnels at USAFA. Most projects are funded by military or NASA sponsors. Examples are damage repair tabs for the A-10 and parachute dynamics for the NASA Orin return vehicle.
