Great discussions at #AIAAaviation on BWB tech & operational energy resiliency. Thanks to @JetZeroAero, @Delta, @united, Scaled Composites, @NorthropGrumman & U of I Urbana-Champaign. Proud to drive innovation together!
Boosting capability through aerodynamic upgrades = more options for the warfighter. Check out the latest on Finlet drag reduction tech here: https://t.co/Os7xci36T7
Our team recently sat down with Advanced Study of Air Mobility students for presentations on innovative research in airlift optimization & battlefield fuel resilience. Their work advances mission agility & readiness across the force – we’re in good hands with our future leaders!
Today the @usairforce announced a major project milestone to develop a microreactor @EielsonAirForce, piloting advanced nuclear energy technology, with the first deployment of a commercial microreactor for the @DeptofDefense.

Small changes can lead to maximum warfighter impact! Maintainers at Bangor ANGB re-installed wiper blades on two KC-135 aircraft in a vertical position - this shift from horizontal is projected to reduce drag by 1% & over $6.6 million per year in fuel cost avoidance.
Big news! @Delta Airlines announces formal partnership with @JetZeroAero, the startup bringing the Blended Wing Body aircraft to full-scale demonstration by 2027. Read more: https://t.co/Dg3X2lslwL
Exciting News! We’re entering the final phase of evaluation for Microvane drag reduction technology on the C-17 Globemaster III. Read more ➡️https://t.co/s9zNVxh3As
Through the Operational Energy Savings Account (OESA), we reinvest cost savings from OE initiatives into cutting-edge projects that enhance operational energy resilience, efficiencies, mission assurance, energy conservation, or energy security. https://t.co/7T58eT1sgf
We honored the top performing teams in the Mission Execution Excellence Program (MEEP) on the main stage at this year’s Airlift/Tanker Association Symposium! Read more 👉https://t.co/UfV3CBmnoV
Efforts like the Mission Execution Excellence Program (MEEP) prepare for the next fight in a fuel-contested environment & produce a 20-30% increase in best practice utilization across participating squadrons. #EnergyActionMonth#PowerDAFPossibility
The BWB could significantly improve efficiency, providing increased capability & range, reducing our reliance on forward air bases and alleviating pressure on fuel logistics supply chains. #EnergyActionMonth#PowerDAFPossibility
