Airport Technology Research

Research and testing that shapes the airports of tomorrow.

Airport technology research turns new ideas into proven standards for pavement, lighting, visual aids, rescue and firefighting, and airfield safety. That research depends on careful test design, accurate data collection, and rigorous analysis.

EIT supports airport technology research programs with flight testing, ground testing, and data analysis, and helps turn results into the guidance and standards airports use every day.
