Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's research park, which first opened in 2017 with the MicaPlex building, is on its way to buildout with seven separate research structures totaling more than 250,000 square feet of space.

Hypersonic research could well be the next frontier for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's seven-year-old research park.

Florida lawmakers included $26 million in the state budget for the construction of a building where ERAU and University of Central Florida faculty can advance hypersonic technologies, which are used in the development of blazing-fast weapons and spacecraft.
