AFRL tests NASA communications system
Technician Paul Schley of General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems (GDAIS) installs miniature microphones in the ears of test subject Beth Greschner, also of GDAIS. The microphones record sound equivalent to what an astronaut would hear at liftoff of the space shuttle. (Photo by Chris Gulliford, AFRL/HE)

AFRL/HE chief scientist retires
"...I approached each problem with a passion and a sense that time was critical because I was leaving soon..." Dr. Kenneth R. Boff, AFRL/HE chief scientist, whose first position out of New York's Columbia University evolved into a 30-year career with the Air Force Research Laboratory. (Photo by Chris Gulliford, AFRL/HE)
AFRL/HE chief scientist retires
“I don’t view this a retirement, I view it as form of graduation. I’m not ready to slow down." Dr. Kenneth R. Boff, AFRL/HE chief scientist who retired March 16 and is considering a staff position at the Georgia Institute of Technology. (Photo by Chris Gulliford, AFRL/HE)
AFRL/HE chief scientist retires
“I started that project when I was in my 20s ... That was the springboard to getting higher-level positions.” Dr. Kenneth R. Boff, AFRL/HE chief scientist, on an early project that became a human factors benchmark. Dr. Boff retired March 16 after a 30-year career at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Inspired flight
Air Force Office of Scientific Research program managers recently participated in a workshop entitled, "Biologically Inspired Flight for Micro Air Vehicles" in Denver, Colorado. One of the topics was "Flow Physics of Flapping Flight" in which attendees discussed flight control options and the flow physics of biology-inspired mechanisms that simultaneously lift, thrust, and hover.
