The proposal which The Wichita State University submitted to the Army Research Office in April, 1986, and which resulted in the contract for which this document is the final report stated, ...At the end of the two-year development program, an advanced research center will be in place, involved in continuing research of high interest to government and industry, and providing training at the PhD-level to students for careers in aviation-related technical disciplines. This objective has been met. A new 74,000 sq. ft. building is currently under construction to house the activities of the Institute for Aviation Research, with completion scheduled for late 1989. Laboratory equipment has been acquired and made operational to support the research. The University is providing support for key faculty and administrative positions, including several distinguished professor positions. Through the Wichita State University Board of Trustees, substantial commitments have been made to the Institute by Sedgwick County, the City of Wichita, and Beech, Boeing, Cessna and Learjet Aircraft Companies.
