AEDC commander helps Hands-On Science Center celebrate new mural

Arnold Engineering Development Complex Commander Col. Randel Gordon, joined by local artists Joy Snead, center, and Avery Wert, cuts the ribbon on the new space mural at the Hands-On Science Center in Tullahoma, Tenn., May 5, 2023. The mural depicting planets, stars and comets was made possible through a grant HOSC received from the Tennessee Arts Commission. With it, HOSC partnered with the Tullahoma Fine Arts Center, with which Snead and Wert are affiliated, to complete the mural. The ribbon cutting ceremony coincided with National Space Day.

AEDC supports hypersonic structures experimentation

A wedge test article with a wavy surface representative of deformations that may occur in an aerospace vehicle fuselage in hypersonic flight is installed on a sting in the von Kármán Gas Dynamics Facility at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn., May 2, 2023. The wedge was subjected to hypersonic airflows to observe and measure the effects of the heating which occurs under those conditions. (U.S. Air Force photo by Jill Pickett)

AEDC supports hypersonic structures experimentation

A panel constructed to be representative of an aerospace vehicle fuselage in material type, weight, thickness and support sits on a table in the von Kármán Gas Dynamics Facility at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn., May 2, 2023. The panel was subjected to hypersonic airflows to observe and measure the effects of the heating which occurs under those conditions. The dot pattern is specifically designed to enable cameras to measure deformation in the panel. Researchers were also able to visibly observe the deformation occurring, including a “snap-through” moment when a section went from concave to convex. (U.S. Air Force photo by Jill Pickett)

Dr. Theodore von Kármán, left, is joined by Air Force and NASA officials while inspecting two of the models used in the high velocity, high altitude wind tunnels at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn. Von Kármán was able to get an up-close look at the models during the Oct. 30, 1959, dedication of the Gas Dynamics Facility at Arnold AFB in his honor. The site, now the headquarters of Arnold Engineering Development Complex, is the result of recommendations von Kármán made in 1945 to the late Gen. Hap Arnold, then-commander of the American Air Forces. Pictured with von Kármán are, from left, then-Lt. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever, then-commander of the Air Research and Development Command; Dr. Hugh Dryden, then-deputy administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; Dr. J.V. Charyk, then-assistant secretary of the Air Force for research and development; and then-Maj. Gen. Troup Miller Jr., then-commander of the AEDC. (U.S. Air Force photo)
