Arnold Air Force Base PRSRT STD US POSTAGE PAID TULLAHOMA TN Vol. 64, No. 17 Arnold AFB, Tenn. PERMIT NO. 29 September 5, 2017 Joint partnership leads to successful swirl distortion testing By Deidre Ortiz AEDC Public Affairs An AEDC test team and mem- bers of the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) initiated a project in 2011 at the Academy’s F109 turbofan test facility applying swirl distortion to the determination of engine response in terms of aeromechanics, operabil- ity and performance. In June of this year, the AEDC test team returned to the F109 test facility and conducted a test using a fully functional and automatic swirl generator prototype to determine the response of the F109 engine to swirl with and without pressure distortion. A set of pre-test predications were also computed that aided in test plan- ning and provided guidance in the test process to determine the best ex- penditure of test resources. Dr. Milt Davis, Technology Tran- sition Manager with the AEDC Test and Analysis Branch, explained that the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) S-16 Committee, also known as the Turbine Engine Inlet Flow Dis- tortion Committee, has been provid- ing methodologies and standards for the aircraft and engine community to An AEDC test team and members of the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) partnered together recently at the Academy’s F109 use in testing and analyzing inlet dis- turbofan test facility to apply swirl distortion to determine engine response in terms of aeromechanics, operability and per- formance.

  • Air Force Sexual Assault Court-Martial Summaries 2010 March 2015
    Air Force Sexual Assault Court-Martial Summaries 2010 March 2015 – The Air Force is committed to preventing, deterring, and prosecuting sexual assault in its ranks. This report contains a synopsis of sexual assault cases taken to trial by court-martial. The information contained herein is a matter of public record. This is the final report of this nature the Air Force will produce. All results of general and special courts-martial for trials occurring after 1 April 2015 will be available on the Air Force’s Court-Martial Docket Website (www.afjag.af.mil/docket/index.asp). SIGNIFICANT AIR FORCE SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE SUMMARIES 2010 – March 2015 Note: This report lists cases involving a conviction for a sexual assault offense committed against an adult and also includes cases where a sexual assault offense against an adult was charged and the member was either acquitted of a sexual assault offense or the sexual assault offense was dismissed, but the member was convicted of another offense involving a victim. The Air Force publishes these cases for deterrence purposes. Sex offender registration requirements are governed by Department of Defense policy in compliance with federal and state sex offender registration requirements. Not all convictions included in this report require sex offender registration. Beginning with July 2014 cases, this report also indicates when a victim was represented by a Special Victims’ Counsel. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, sexual assaults against those 16 years of age and older are charged as crimes against adults. The appropriate disposition of sexual assault allegations and investigations may not always include referral to trial by court-martial.

These challenges system, with sustainment costs alone are largely the result of sustainment plans that do not fully include key estimated at more than $1 trillion over requirements or aligned (timely and sufficient) funding. DOD is taking steps to a 60-year life cycle. As the F-35 address some challenges, but without more comprehensive plans and aligned program approaches full-rate funding, DOD risks being unable to fully leverage the F-35’s capabilities and production, DOD is working to deliver sustain a rapidly expanding fleet. an affordable sustainment strategy that is able to meet the needs of the military Table: Key Department of Defense (DOD) Challenges for F-35 Aircraft Sustainment services. This strategy is being tested Key challenge Description as DOD stands up military depots, Limited repair capacity DOD’s capabilities to repair F-35 parts at military depots are 6 years trains personnel, and supports its first at depots behind schedule, which has resulted in average part repair times of 172 operational squadrons—with plans to days—twice the program’s objective (see figure 1).

  • Special Delivery / Vietnam-Era Helicopter Joins Ranks at Hill Aerospace Museum
    Special Delivery / Vietnam-era helicopter joins ranks at Hill Aerospace Museum (MATTHEW HATFIELD/Standard-Examiner) Jim "Pappy" Walters, a civilian contractor test pilot, smiles Thursday after landing at Hill Air Force Base the last MH-53M still flying in the U.S. Air Force Friday, September 19, 2008 HILL AIR FORCE BASE -- The Hill Aerospace Museum added a new member to its family of historic aircraft Thursday afternoon. A Vietnam-era MH-53M Pave Low helicopter, tail number 68-10367, was flown into Hill from Hurlburt Field in Florida and will be put on permanent display at the base museum. "This is going to be a beautiful addition to our collection," said Hill Museum Director Scott Wirz as the helicopter became visible on the horizon over the Wasatch Mountains. The 37-year-old aircraft was flown in by a crew of seven. It had actually been on the base before. The helicopter was first used by the 1550th Aircrew Training and Test Wing at Hill. "That was the last flight for this bird in the Air Force," retired flight engineer Rick Simmon said of his travels to the base. "She served us well." Simmon, who now works at the Hurlburt Field Air Force Installation, was stationed at Hill from 1974-75 and served on the aircraft during Vietnam. "We did a lot of combat rescue missions with it in the southern part of Vietnam," Simmon said. "We were shot at and hit a bunch of times, but we never went down. It's just kind of a sad day to know I won't ever fly it again." The chopper was also used at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii to recover fill canisters ejected by Project Corona, a U.S.

  • WRP Utah Military Asset List (MAL)
    WRP Utah Military Asset List (MAL) Within the Western Regional Partnership (WRP) region, there are significant military testing and training installations and ranges. WRP developed summaries from all of the Services and the National Guard, describing the history, missions, and importance of these assets. These summaries use only publicly available information and are written for the policy maker new to military issues and the military savvy person needing specific military information. It is our hope that WRP Partners use these summaries as a tool for land use planning efforts to encourage compatible growth and ensure future mission viability. Incompatible development (encroachment) comes in many forms but for the military, it means those issues that affect their ability to fulfill their mission on land, in the sea, or in the air. These military summaries are for general planning purposes.

Beyond providing for our national security, the military installations in Oklahoma (Altus AFB, Fort Sill, McAlester Army Ammu- nition Plant, Tinker AFB, and Vance AFB) have a tremendous economic impact in the state. They are economic engines that employ Oklahomans. Illustrating the importance of these installations: • Over 69,100 military personnel, federal civilian personnel and contractors were employed at Oklahoma’s military installations in FY 2010. • These jobs, and the operations at the installations, supported an additional 64,700 jobs in Oklahoma’s economy for a total employment impact of more than 133,800 jobs in the state. • Impacts on Oklahoma’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is value-added economic activity, totaled more than $9.6 billion in FY 2010, which was more than 7% of the size of the state’s entire economy.
