AEDC engineer Andrew Redmon gives a presentation at an innovation meeting held March 21 at the AEDC Model and Machine Shop. He presented ways that software improvements for the AEDC National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex at Ames Research Center in California are making test data analysis more user-friendly and efficient.

Cindy Dixon, pictured right, a small business advocate at AEDC, speaks with a vendor at the 6th Annual Small Business Industry Day March 15 at Tennessee State University. Dixon represented one of more than 200 businesses to participate in the event. The industry day was organized by Roy Rossignol, chief of Small Business with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District, and this year’s theme was Service Disabled Veteran-Owned.

AEDC craftsman Michael Money works on rake hardware at the AEDC Model and Machine Shop prior to the item being shipped to the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex at the Ames Research Facility, California. The rake, which was fully fabricated at the machine shop at Arnold AFB, will be used this summer in the Phase II Flow Calibration of the 40-by-80 foot test section. The goal of the Phase II Flow Calibration is to characterize the 40-by-80 test section flow quality throughout the tunnel operational envelope and report the results.

The rake hardware that will be used this summer in the Phase II Flow Calibration of the 40-by-80 foot test section at the AEDC National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex at the Ames Research Facility, California, was fabricated at the AEDC Model and Machine Shop. Fabrication of the flow characterization rake was kept “in house” due to tight tolerance requirements, the ability to have local oversight of the fabrication efforts, and to keep the flexibility to adjust design constraints on the fly, all the while maintaining schedule for a summer 2017 test entry. The rake is designed to support 27 probes distributed in an array so that flow quality measurements can be made across a representative cross section of the wind tunnel test section. The probes will measure flow static and dynamic pressure as well as flow angles and turbulence over the survey area. Additional sensors on the array will measure tunnel total temperature. The goal of the Phase II Flow Calibration is to characterize the 40-by-80 test section flow quality throughout the tunnel operational envelope and report the results.

This prescribed fire shown at Arnold Air Force Base is a necessary process that promotes new growth by removing dead vegetation and suppressing woody species that would eventually grow into a forest in the absence of fire. (AEDC photo)
AEDC engineers test the Towed Airborne Plume Simulator (TAPS), a missile simulator that can be towed 500 to 1000 meters behind an aircraft to test early warning sensors on military aircraft and allow for either evasive or defensive action. The TAPS system is tested at the AEDC High Speed Fan Facility prior to a flight mission. There TAPS plume is controlled to mimic the behavior of a surface-to-air missile plume. In February, the AEDC TAPS team was named the recipient of the Outstanding Scientist Team Award, one of the AEDC Science, Engineering and Technical Management Awards presented for outstanding performance in management.
