Two Purdue alumni have developed technology to help new pilots master radio communication skills to better interact with air traffic control operators.
Eren Hadimioglu, an alumnus from Purdue Polytechnic’s School of Aviation and Transportation Technology, and Muharrem Mane, an alumnus from the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, created PlaneEnglish, an aviation radio simulator.
