STARKVILLE, Miss. = Mississippi State University's leaders officially unveiled the Teros, the newest addition to Raspet Flight Research Lab’s fleet of uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS). At 1,800 pounds with a 40-foot wingspan makes it the largest UAS at any U.S. academic institution. The new aircraft will boost MSU’s efforts to assist government partners in safely integrating UAS into the national airspace and the university’s exploration of UAS capabilities to benefit areas such as agriculture, environmental sciences, emergency response and infrastructure monitoring. It is expected to be the first UAS of its kind to become type certified by the Federal Aviation Administration, meaning designed for complete future integration into the national airspace system. Receiving type certification would enable it to immediately begin operating alongside manned aircraft when regulations permit.
