First Lt. Sylvester Fernandez de Castro, 436th Aerial Port Squadron flight commander of the Passenger Service Flight and Fleet Flight, along with fleet service personnel demonstrate the use of the baggage conveyor to load bags containing blankets, pillows and supplies onto a C-5M Super Galaxy Feb. 8, 2017, on Dover Air Force Base, Del. Members of Air Mobility Command’s “Aerial Port of the Future” study team from Scott Air Force Base, Ill., observed the loading of the bags through the “7 Left” troop door that are loaded when carrying passengers in the troop compartment.

Researchers at the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, have developed a novel, lightweight artificial hair sensor that mimics those used by natural fliers—like bats and crickets—by using carbon nanotube forests grown inside glass fiber capillaries. The hairs are sensitive to air flow changes during flight, enabling quick analysis and response by agile fliers. (Air Force courtesy photo).
