Wright-Patt employee lives each day as a blessing
Retired Master Sgt. and financial management specialist Daryl McFadden, flexes with one of his fitness partners, Christina Millard, after a workout. McFadden, who has survived cancer twice and undergone a triple bypass surgery, makes his health his number one priority by continuing to exercise and changing his eating habits. (Courtesy photo)

Jackie Bryant, left and Monique Todd, right, sisters of retired Master Sgt. and financial management specialist Daryl McFadden, Center, pose with McFadden after his triple bypass surgery. McFadden underwent heart surgery in January 2018 for obstruction of three vessel coronary arteries. After visiting his doctor for shortness of breath, test results showed his heart had 70-90 percent blockage. (Courtesy photo)

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

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.
