This is a Call against USAFA-BAA-2009-1 requesing potential recipients to submit white papers for the US Air Force Academy's Aeronatics Research Center.
Please follow the instructions listed within the attachments prior to submitting white papers.
Vendors are asked not to submit formal proposals for this requirement at this time.The Aeronautics Research Center performs a range of aeronautical research tasks in support of Air Force, DoD, NASA, other government and commercial sponsors.
Making use of the extensive experimental facilities housed in the USAFA Department of Aeronautics, the Center pursues a range of aeronautic and propulsion research efforts, with equal emphasis on basic and applied research.
The research program in this center is geared toward providing all undergraduates with a rich, relevant research experience while answering critical research needs of our highly varied customer base.
Researchers may expect extensive access to premier facilities, tremendous latitude of pursuits and single-minded focus on research tasks, but must seek to incorporate student participation in their projects, typically two to four students per semester.
Substantial effort in this center is directed toward the solution of multi-disciplinary problems may require skills beyond classical aeronautics disciplines, including plasma and laser physics, automatic controls and applied mathematics.
The ARC, in partnership with the USAFA Modeling and Simulation Center, is a leader in the complementary employment of experiment and simulation to solve complex fluid, aerodynamic and control problems.Current research strengths include several complementary thrusts.
Closed loop flow control efforts focus on aero-optic and energy extraction, with extensive effort in the development of automatic control algorithms and techniques, experimental flow control methodologies and CFD simulations.
Plasma actuator development continues in collaboration with the USAFA Physics Department, investigating basic phenomenology while investigating high-leverage applications for the devices.
Heat pipe investigations seek improved performance of high power lasers.
Well-developed force and moment measurement capabilities are employed in the investigation of numerous air vehicle modifications as well as development of new designs.
Operating engines, including an F-109 turbofan and several internal combustion engines are used for fuels and flow quality investigations.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
