| Airfoil (9) |  |
This deciding factor comes from his unique, multiple airfoil design, which captures a high level of windflow."
AFRL researchers have recently transitioned the Sonic Infrared nondestructive evaluation inspection method for turbine engine airfoils.
and efficient alternative to FPI for whole-field, engine airfoil inspection. According to AFRL project engineer Siamack Mazdiyasni,
Most notably, the increased level of reliability of SIR inspections over FPI means aircraft maintainers can often return engine airfoils to service
The Air force Life cycle Management Center has expressed plans to merge the technology into their automated airfoil inspection and repair initiative.
Studying SIR inspection for engine airfoils is only the first step. Mazdiyasni says future plans include investigating the technology for other engine components including coated parts and fracture critical parts s
and don have to be cleaned as often. ome potential applications for anti-icing surfaces include protection of aerofoils, power transmission lines,
The potential applications for anti-icing surfaces involve protection of aerofoils, protection of aerofoils, pipes of air conditioners and refrigerators, radar or telecommunication antennas,
