The Air Force and engine builder Pratt & Whitney, East Hartford, Conn., completed a $21 million, fleet-wide retrofit effort for the F-22 Raptor’s dual F119 engines, after identifying a fatigue issue with turbine blades that led to seven class A mishaps, nearly $23 million in damages, but no operational interruption.
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Md., developed a laser-based method that uses high-intensity laser to blast microscale projectiles into a small sample at velocities close to the speed of sound to analyze the energy exchange and predict the puncture resistance of materials against larger projectiles encountered in real-world situations.
For the first time, scientists at Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, N.M. and Texas A&M University, have witnessed pieces of metal crack, then fuse back together without any human intervention, overturning fundamental scientific theories in the process.
