High school students in Indiana are collaborating with NASA's Glenn Research Center and the University of Notre Dame to contribute to research on developing quieter, more fuel-efficient aircraft engines.
The collaboration aims to inspire students' interest in STEM careers.
The students visited Notre Dame to witness the operation of the Advanced Noise Control Fan, a NASA-owned test rig for studying quieter aircraft engine technology.
The students also used 3D printers to fabricate parts for the open rotor test fan.
