			===FAA Wake Encounter for Small UAS 2020-2022 ===

			Wake vortices generated by the leading aircraft can have a big impact on the following manned or unmanned aircraft. The current FAA regulation do not allow UAS operations at or close to the airport. New research is needed to evaluate the safety requirement for small UAS operations at or close to the airport.

	~~===Cooperative Sensing of Spatio-Temporal Wind and Turbulence Using Multiple UASs, KU-GRF, 2017-2018===~~

	It is well known that the atmosphere is turbulent in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL). The dynamically changing wind, wind shear, and turbulence can have a big impact on manned or unmanned aircraft.
