Abstract	Flight research is often considered expensive and the realm of large companies and government research institutions. The University of Minnesota Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Research Lab has developed a low cost, open source flight research infrastructure consisting of a simulation and software environment, modular flight control system, and two conventional airframes. Due to its low cost and open source nature, this research infrastructure has facilitated collaborative research with other universities and government research institutions. Recent collaborative efforts and flight research will be highlighted along with development and testing of a modular, low cost, open source aircraft for aeroservoelastic research.
