Air Force, NASA test launch environmentally friendly rocket fuel
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research and NASA successfully test launched the first-ever rocket powered with environmentally friendly Aluminum-Ice Propellant August 7 near Purdue University. The ALICE flight-vehicle pictured here assembled on its launch rail, consists of an all-carbon-fiber, minimum diameter high-power rocketry kit. (Credit: Dr. Steven F. Son, Purdue University)

Air Force Funds New Generation of Energy Efficient UAVs
With AFOSR funding, a team from the University of Michigan is working on a project to integrate solar power cheaply and easily into the base materials used to build UAVs. The team is pictured above posing around a customized reel-to-reel coating apparatus they developed for making large quantities of fiber-based energy conversion devices.
