Popular Mechanics interviewed Javid Bayandor, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, for an article on why people should not throw coins into airplane engines.

Wordless Tech reports on a stingray-inspired spacecraft to explore Venus, which is being designed by Javid Bayandor, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, in collaboration with NASA.

International Business Times reported on a stingray-inspired spacecraft to explore Venus, which is being designed by Javid Bayandor, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.

Gizmodo UK reported that NASA is looking at a ‘stingray-inspired spacecraft’ to explore the dark side of Venus. The space agency, in collaboration with the UB CRASH Lab led by Javid Bayador, has created the design for the “morphing spacecraft with wings flapping like a fish’s pectoral fin rays.”

A video on USAToday.com covered the spacecraft that UB’s CRASH lab, led by Javid Bayandor, is working with NASA to design and which would “sail over the dark side of Venus like a stingray."

Fox News included a story on UB’s CRASH lab, which is working with NASA to design a new spacecraft that would fly around Venus and take measurements of its harsh atmosphere that includes incredibly hot temperatures, thick clouds of sulfuric acid and volcanoes.
