Delta Air Lines Donates Jet to Purdue
Purdue University’s Department of Aviation Technology will receive a commercial regional jet, donated by Delta Air Lines, to be used for on-the-ground research and teaching at the Purdue University Airport. “Students in the department's Professional Flight program will be able to use the former Delta aircraft as an advanced systems learning laboratory,” said John Mott, director of the Advanced Aviation Analytics Institute for Research (A3IR-CORE). Mott said that Delta is a key supporter of A3IR-CORE, one of two university-level research centers in the department. “Our aeronautical engineering technology students will gain knowledge in FAA maintenance practices for transport aircraft, and our aviation management students will benefit from coordinating operations involving the aircraft and from participating in ground-handling research projects,” Mott said. The 50-seat CRJ-100ER has two General Electric CF34 turbofans. The donated jet will allow teaching and research related to advanced industry maintenance procedures and ground-handling procedures, such as passenger customer service, aircraft boarding and deboarding, baggage handling, towing and taxiing.
