Air Force research leading the way
Adrian DeNardo explains how the Air Force investing in research, development and certification of advanced renewable biofuel blends to reduce demand for traditional petroleum-based JP-8 jet fuel. Mr. DeNardo was among Air Force Research Laboratory experts on hand during a reception Oct. 2, 2010 at Rickenbacker International Airport, following a reenactment of the world’s first cargo flight nearly 100 years earlier. While the original flight in a Wright “B” Flyer carried silk cloth, AFRL provided cargo for the reenactment, including concept micro aerial vehicle models and an advanced ceramic matrix composite fabric. Mr. DeNardo works for AFRL’s Propulsion Directorate. (U.S. Air Force photo/Derek Kaufman)

Air Force researchers model engine stress on B-2 bomber
Air Force Research Laboratory engineers, working with the 780th Test Squadron Aerospace Survivability and Safety Flight at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, have identified an effective method for measuring deformation in the aft deck of the B-2 bomber using a series of special engine tests. The engine test run configuration including manlift with mounted camera bar and test specimen is circled. Photo inset is a three-dimensional map on the test specimen showing out-of-plane deformation due to thermal expansion. (U. S. Air Force photos/Mindy Cooper)
