AFRL research expected to lower aicraft fuel system repairs
Air Force Research Laboratory materials researchers are evaluating coatings to lower costly fuel tank repairs in military aircraft. Here a B-52 fuel strainer is pictured clogged with debris from the fuel tank coating. The strainer is part of the bomber's filter system that is affected by the cracking and peeling of the protective coating inside the fuel tank. (U.S. Air Force photo/Mike Spicer)

Studying human performance
Kassi Micak participates in the citrulline malate study conducted by Air Force Research Laboratory officials Aug. 19 at Brooks City-Base, Texas. Citrulline malate has shown to increase lactate threshold and VO2 Max in healthy humans and is being investigated, along with other nutritional supplements and training aids, by AFRL officials to improve cognitive and physical performance of battlefield Airmen. Ms. Micak, a competitive cyclist based in San Antonio, volunteered for the study. (U.S. Air Force photo/Steve Thurow)
