This program will produce prototypes of aircraft wingtip treatments to reduce induced drag without increasing span of aircraft wings, and to reduce wind dynamic responses for improved ride. The advantages of conventional winglets have been demonstrated ontransport aircraft and business jets. Phase I of this effort demonstrated that even greater results can be obtained by modified winglets of new ...

THE HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT EXISTING AT THE BORE SURFACE OF GUN BARRELS USED IN HIGH RATE OF FIRE AIRCRAFT CANNONS PRESENTS A FORMIDABLE DESIGN CHALLENGE TO THE GUN DESIGNER. HEAT, FRICTION, CORROSION AND WEAR AT THE BORE SURFACE ACT IN UNISON TO RAPIDLY DETERIORATE THE BORE. CHROME PLATING IS PRESENTLY THE ONLY COST EFFECTIVE METHOD OF IMPROVING BORE SURFACE LIFE. PLASMA SURFACE ALLOYING IS AN EMERGI ...

The goal of this project is to develop an XML-driven platform that will rapidly determine the hazards associated with a collection of chemicals at a given location. Beginning with a query consisting of location, date, and time, the CHAIN (Chemical HazardAssessment Information Network) system will prioritize the materials at the location to provide a ranked list by hazard along with recommended pro ...

Propose to demonstrate how a white label of Dynepics commercial playPORTAL platform could be used by the USAF to enable AFCreate - a platform for USAF personnel to securely create, distribute, and manage applications.

The goal of the Phase I program is to demonstrate the feasibility of our technical approach to grow AlInN lattice Matched Barrier HEMTs on low defect Bulk and quasi-bulk III-Nitride Substrates (GaN). This will be accomplished using our pulsed MOCVD growth technique to deposit AlInN films at a higher growth temperature than conventional MOCVD deposition methods, resulting in better material qualit ...

The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility and performance of compact, efficient, radiation hardened laser technology for LADAR detection, ranging and range-gated imaging applications. Traditional laser designs exhibit modest wall plug efficiencies. They are limited in scalability, tough to miniaturize and often intolerant of space radiation. Conventional diode pumped lase ...

Most of the 6 billion pounds of adhesives used in the United States each year are derived from petrochemicals; many still contain volatile organic compounds. Montana Biotech SE, Inc., has developed a process for producing a natural polymer with excellent adhesive properties. Tensile strength on bare aluminum is up to 10.3 MPa (1,500 psi). Made from a renewable resource, biodegradable, and safe ...

The detection and quantification of corrosion in aircraft structures has primarily been a visual, thus subjective, technique. We propose to develop the algorithms, hardware and software needed to deploy a field-portable corrosion detection andquantification system resulting in an objective tool to evaluate the level of corrosion. The task requires: 1) determination of useable wavelengths, with m ...
