US senior research materials engineer wins international award
Dr. Adam Pilchak has emerged as the United States Air Force’s leading expert in microstructural fatigue and damage tolerance of titanium alloys, which are used worldwide in military and commercial aerospace systems. (U.S. Air Force photo/Donna Lindner)
AFRL achieves record-setting hypersonic ground test milestone
The AEDC Aerodynamic and Propulsion Test Unit at Arnold Air Force Base supports recent testing for the Air Force Research Laboratory Medium Scale Critical Components Scramjet program. The Northrop Grumman-produced engine was successfully operated at conditions above Mach 4 and has set the record for highest thrust produced by an air-breathing hypersonic engine in Air Force history.

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 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).

Comedian and ventriloquist entertainer, Ryan, gives commands to volunteers selected from the audience as he uses them as dummies during his comedy act of Ryan and Friends tour stop at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, June 7, 2018. Ryan assigned each of the participants on stage to perform a specific task, example, open mouth, scratch head while he added comical voices. (U.S. Air Force photo/Michelle Gigante)
AFRL unveils “one-stop” technology licensing
The Air Force Research Laboratory is launching Express Licensing, a one-stop shopping approach that allows entrepreneurs to discover available AFRL-developed technologies and quickly and easily determine if a licensing opportunity fits their capabilities. Pictured here are voxelated liquid crystal elastomers, a shape-changeable soft material technology available on the Express Licensing website. (Courtesy photo)
