The National Aviation Research and Technology Park is\ndedicated to facilitating the advancement of aviation research, technologies\nand innovation. The NARTP has collaboration agreements with Embry Riddle\nAeronautical University, Rowan University, Stockton University and the National\nInstitute of Aerospace. It is located in an Aviation Innovation Hub that\nincludes the adjoining FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center and Atlantic City\nInternational Airport, which serves as a Smart Airport Research Test Bed\nFacility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
