Book excerpt: The AIR FORCE ROCKET PROPULSION LABORATORY HISTORY, The Organization, the History and the People is Edited By Robert L. Geisler and Written in Three Parts by the AFRPL Alumni Group. In its four-plus decades of service, the AFRPL located at Edwards AFB California was the source and focal point for much of the advanced rocket propulsion technology for the United States Air Force and the propulsion community at-large. The lab produced over 5,000 proud rocket scientists and technicians. It was the only facility in the country whose exploratory development program spanned the spectrum of propulsion system applications including Tactical Rockets, Ballistic Missiles, Space Propulsion, and related multiple application technologies such as chemistry, materials, structures, combustion, plume phenomenology, and hazards. It has provided unique and valuable in-house capabilities and facilities, which have greatly altered the course of events of rocket propulsion. It has made the Air Force an intelligent buyer and user of rocket technology upon which the security of the nation has relied and the story is worth telling!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history documents a watershed event within the United States Air Force -- the creation of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). As the "high technology" service, the Air Force has always searched for ways to continuously improve its science and technology enterprise. In that context, the making of AFRL was not a bureaucratic accident. Rather, it was the product of a complex mixture of historical forces and pressures at work that convinced people at all levels that the time was ripe to bring about fundamental reform in how the Air Force conducts its business of science and technology. In terms of significance, a wealth of past studies has focused on almost every aspect of the "operational" side of the Air Force. But there has been a scarcity of available scholarly studies that address the far-reaching implications of science and technology. This book is a major contribution that helps fill that gap. Organization and infrastructure are critically important components of the total science and technology picture. Thus, the manner in which its laboratory system is organized is a critical factor in the Air Force's ability to assure that it is investing in and delivering the most relevant technologies possible. This book documents how the Air Force moved from 13 separate labs to one consolidated lab. The narrative is divided into two parts. Part one addresses the reasons why the Air Force decided to consolidate its far-flung science and technology enterprise into one lab. How the new lab was implemented is the focus of part two. This study is especially revealing because the reader is given access to the inner workings and struggles of a major Air Force organizational restructuring through interviews with key individuals who participated directly in the decision-making process to establish a single lab. A chronology of the lab's creation is included. (19 tables, 22 figures, 19 photographs).

Download or read book PROCEEDINGS OF THE AIR FORCE ROCKET PROPULSION LABORATORY TWO PHASE FLOW CONFERENCE 15 16 MARCH 1967 NORTON AIR FORCE BASE SAN BERNARDINO CALIFORNIA written by and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two-phase flow and related phenomena have received only limited treatment in other conferences. Furthermore, no concentrated effort has been put forth to clarify existing areas of contradiction, compare state-of-the-art data, or identify research efforts toward those areas where additional information is needed. Therefore, the purpose of this conference was to provide an opportunity for those directly concerned with two-phase flow and related phenomena to review current technology, and highlight points of controversy. The papers in this volume include topics of: Performance losses in two-phase nozzle flows; Two-phase plume phenomena (radiation, attenuation, impingement). The report also contains the questions, answers, and comments that were made during the conference.
