Kansas State University has received a grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research for 'Aeronautical Training and Materials Research' in the amount of $7,700,000. The general purposes of the grant were equipment support for pilot and mechanic training and for scientific research. The principle expenditures from the grant have been for new and refurbished aircraft for the University's training fleet. In particular, the University purchased one C-90A Beech King Air, four B-58 Beech Barons, and six F-33A Beech Bonanzas. These aircraft were new and were produced to meet Kansas State University's specifications. In addition, the University purchased one Beech F-33C Aerobatic Bonanza and 12 Beech B-24 Sundowners used. The used aircraft were refurbished, standardized, and painted to match the new fleet. In addition, significant amounts of avionics, computers, and other electronic equipment, engine testing equipment, and test engines were purchased for the Aviation Maintenance Technology Program. The third major expenditure was for a 'Materials Fabrication and Coating Building,' a 2,000-square-foot building to house the Avionics Laboratory and the Composite Fabrication and Non-Destructive Testing Laboratories.
