Boilermakers have never been afraid to go first. In 1930, Purdue became the first U.S. university to offer college credit for flight training. We opened the nation’s first university-owned airport in 1934.
Watch this video and learn about the Purdue pilots, engineers and scientists whose small steps led to the university’s giant leaps. Legends, like Amelia Earhart and Sully Sullenberger (MS industrial psychology ’73), and pioneers, like Cliff Turpin (BS engineering 1908), the first Purdue graduate to become a pilot.
Previous generations of Boilermaker aviators and innovators have charted the course. See where the university takes its next steps.
