  • Large Model Wings Level Yaw capability to be available soon at AEDC

    Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) engineers are presently working on a multimillion dollar fast-track design and build effort for the 16-foot transonic wind tunnel called Large Model Wings Level Yaw (WLY).It's likely that the new WLY capability will be available to AEDC's test customers

  • AEDC adds Jet-A fuel to turbine engine testing fuel supply

    The Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) fuel farm is replacing JP-8 fuel, used by turbine engine testing customers in the Complex's aeropropulsion test facilities, with commercial grade Jet-A fuel.Jet-A is a kerosene-based aviation fuel that has a different freezing point

  • DebriSat: data from Destruction

    The space environment presents many hazards for satellites and spacecraft. One of the major hazards is hypervelocity impacts from uncontrolled man-made space debris.The recent Hollywood blockbuster movie Gravity dramatizes a series of catastrophic events that could follow just such an impact. While

  • New software assists with Next Generation of Advanced Aircraft
