https://ojs.library.okstate.edu/osu/index.php/CARI <p>The Collegiate Aviation Review-International (CARi) is the peer reviewed journal of the University Aviation Association (UAA). The CARi welcomes the following types of manuscripts: Peer-Reviewed Articles, Peer-reviewed Practices, Position Papers, Literature Reviews, Editorials, and UAA Conference Proceedings. The CARi review process incorporates a double-blind peer review by a panel of individuals who are active in the focus area of each manuscript. Manuscripts that do not receive peer review undergo editorial review by the Editorial staff. Additional information is available to authors in the journal's <a title="Editorial Policies" href="https://ojst.library.okstate.edu/index.php/CARI/about">Editorial Policies</a> and <a title="Submissions" href="https://ojst.library.okstate.edu/index.php/CARI/about/submissions">Submissions</a> guidance.</p> Oklahoma State University en-US The Collegiate Aviation Review International 1523-5955 https://ojs.library.okstate.edu/osu/index.php/CARI/article/view/10200 <p>The IEEE Drone Chase Challenge was held in 2022 and 2023 to foster development in Unmanned Aerial Systems and to provide a venue for collegiate students developing integrated UAS solutions in which to compete. The challenge is comprised of two stages: an online simulator-based stage and a physical in-person final. The development of each competitor’s unique solutions and difficulties faced by each finalist team are described herein. Improvements for other future competitions are suggested based on the experiences of the competitors and hosts from the 2023 IEEE Drone Chase Challenge. First, software integration and documentation must be complete and easy to follow for competitors, allowing them to focus on solution development, rather than troubleshooting errors. Second, scoring metrics must be designed to test for robustness to mitigate the effect of luck and other external conditions on the evaluation of a solution. Despite the current limitations realized during the competition, competitors, hosts, and the research community benefit from developing soft and technical skills through competition participation.</p> Luigi Raphael Iboleon Dy Kristoffer Borgen John Mott Yung-Hsiang Lu Li-Yu Lin Zhangpeng Yang James Goppert Jakub Tomczak Stefano Roccella Andrea Vannini Zhiwei Dong Copyright (c) 2025 The Collegiate Aviation Review International 2025-07-23 2025-07-23 43 2 https://ojs.library.okstate.edu/osu/index.php/CARI/article/view/10256 <p>In the early 21st century, the rapid advance of space exploration has resulted in both significant scientific and economic prospects and profound ethical challenges. This paper examines the ethics of modern space exploration through five relevant principal ethical philosophies: Utilitarianism, Deontological Ethics, Virtue Ethics, Environmental Ethics, and Feminist Ethics. Utilitarianism evaluates actions based on outcomes, advocating for those that maximize overall well-being, while Deontological Ethics emphasizes adherence to moral duties and principles. Virtue Ethics focuses on the character and virtues of individuals and organizations, while Environmental Ethics highlights the intrinsic value of non-human environments and advocates for their preservation. Feminist Ethics stresses inclusivity, equity, and social justice. The paper develops a comprehensive ethical framework to guide humanity’s ventures into space by integrating these different perspectives.</p> Sean Crouse Samuil Nikolov Megan Harris Joseph O’Brien Ryan Wallace Stephen Rice Scott Winter Copyright (c) 2025 The Collegiate Aviation Review International 2025-07-23 2025-07-23 43 2
