As the world’s premier aeronautical university, Embry-Riddle is something of a star in the world of flight. There are many reasons for this. One is a program called NextGen. NextGen will transform air traffic control from today’s ground radar-based system to a satellitebased system. Using GPS for navigation, the system will allow aircraft to fly shorter, more direct routes and enable more efficient runway use, thereby reducing fuel burned, carbon emissions, and noise. Yes, at Embry-Riddle we aim for the stars. But we always keep home close to our hearts.
