Thomas Tredici’s dual oaths, extensive service make him fitting USAFSAM exemplar
Col. (Dr.) Thomas J. Tredici -- pictured at his retirement on August 27, 1987 -- was the last World War II pilot to retire from Air Force active duty. He served as a bomber pilot, flying 20 combat missions over Germany, before he went to medical school and started a nearly five-decade career with the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine.

Unique chamber brings real-world corrosion test capabilities to AFRL
Air Force Research Laboratory contractor David Borth of the University of Dayton Research Institute demonstrates the computer-controlled adjustment of test parameters for the newly-installed Accelerated Combined-Effects Simulation test chamber. The ACES chamber enhances corrosion test capabilities by allowing AFRL researchers to recreate the broad range of environmental conditions under which military assets operate.

Unique chamber brings real-world corrosion test capabilities to AFRL
The one-of-a-kind Accelerated Combined-Effects Simulation test chamber enhances Air Force Research Laboratory corrosion test capabilities, by enabling researchers to recreate the broad range of environmental conditions under which military assets operate, including UV radiation, temperature, humidity, and various gaseous environments.

Unique chamber brings real-world corrosion test capabilities to AFRL
The scribed test sample on the left represents the traditional method of corrosion testing, in which researchers etch through both topcoat and primer layers to simulate damage and resulting corrosion. The new Accelerated Combined-Effects Simulation test chamber enables more realistic full-scale testing of specimens similar to the one on the right, by simultaneously subjecting samples to realistic fatigue testing and environmental conditions.

AFRL helps extend serviceability of hydraulic aircraft components
AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate engineer Brian Shivers helps develop and test a new visual inspection procedure to determine the difference between acceptable chafing into cold spray-applied protective coating and wear into underlying B-1 hydraulic tubing. AFRL helped develop, test, and validate the cold spray coating process for the life extension of B-1 aircraft hydraulic lines. (U.S. Air Force photo/John McClure).

Laboratory-produced examples of chafing into a titanium tube, one of many tests conducted by AFRL researchers to replicate wear through cold-spray applied coating into tubing material beneath. AFRL helped develop, test, and validate the cold spray coating process for the life extension of B-1 aircraft hydraulic lines. (U.S. Air Force photo/John McClure).
AFRL engineer reflects on career, family legacy in aerospace

“School of Air Evacuation” celebrates 75th anniversary
A model of a Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny” hangs above the atrium in USAFSAM. The “Jenny” -- deemed as the first air ambulance -- was developed at the end of World War I when the U.S. Army recognized the need to air transport wounded soldiers. The “Jenny” was dedicated as part of the School of Air Evacuation’s 75th anniversary celebration. (U.S. Air Force photo/Rick Eldridge)
Only DOD human-rated centrifuge gains full operational capability
Col. Alden Hilton, United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine commander, Lt. Gen. Dorothy Hogg, Air Force Surgeon General, Maj. Gen. William Cooley, Air Force Research Laboratory commander, and Brig. Gen. Mark Koeniger, 711th Human Performance Wing commander, pose just before cutting the ribbon during a ceremony Aug. 2 in USAFSAM to mark the full operational capability of the Department of Defense’s only human-rated centrifuge.

AFRL, NASA partner on aerospace physiology to spin into next era of space travel
During the two-day testing with NASA and Boeing astronauts Nov. 1 and 2, the centrifuge spins with one of the astronauts inside. This new centrifuge is the Department of Defense’s only human-rated centrifuge with interchangeable cockpits, a capability that enabled NASA and AFRL engineers to create the astronauts' cockpit.

AFRL branch builds a LEGACY in mentoring
Madisen Millender was one of five LEGACY (Leadership Experience Growing Apprenticeships Committed to Youth) students who worked in the AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate Materials Integrity Branch during the summer of 2018. The branch received the LEGACY Mentor of the Year award for their support of the student internship program. (U.S. Air Force Photo/David Dixon)
