The maiden flight of the first of five T-7A Red Hawk was completed in June 2023, signifying the commencement of the engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) phase of the programme. The flight allowed the USAF to confirm critical attributes of the aircraft. Ground-based training system det...
The Reaper UCAV will play a significant role in the future USAF, even though its capability set makes the MQ-9 considerably more expensive than MQ-1 Predators. Given these high-end capabilities and expenses, one may not have expected the MQ-9 to enjoy bet...
KipAero crew will be demonstrating engine runs of the new production Gnome Monosoupape Rotary engine – a site not too miss! Free admission; for more information go to www.nationalmuseum.af.mil.KipAero HQ and Gnome rotary engine demonstration unit at Dawn Patrol Rendezvous, NMUSAF, Dayton, ...
1. The Turbine Section of the Engine is responsible for more USAF Class A Mishaps than any other component in the engine 2. Engine Usage is trending to greater levels of high hot time use 3. Future Missions are likely to require greater high hot time capabilit 4. New Sensing capabilities...
The USAF’s Project Genetrix released spy balloons disguised as weather balloons over the Soviet Union in 1956, their downward-pointing cameras intending to photograph top-secret installations. This was the only way to see inside the country before satellites, but as the unpowered balloons could ...

5.5 Adaptive filtering approach for re-entry prediction It was found to be adequate to obtain P0 based on the difference between the assumed initial conditions of the states (a, e) with those from the first TLE set. For state B, the deviation of initially assumed B0 with that of the deri...
Years earlier, however, we found that education had no effect on improving the combat performance of USAF fighter pilots (reviewed in Lawless, 2022b). We concluded that these two skills—one necessarily cognitive to be able to innovate and apply successfully for patents, the other necessarily ...
The proposed change from deterministic to PDTA allows the ADT model to predict when the damage-tolerant aircraft structure is likely to reach its critical failure point with a predefined confidence level based on the currently known health state, thus accounting for uncertainties in the prediction ...
a near linear relationship between ln(a) and N, was also one of the primary findings reported by Potter and Yee [15] in an early USAF/General Dynamics study into small crack growth undertaken as part of the F-16 research and development program. The observation that da/dN was often ...
