The Engineering Services group, located at Wright-Patterson AFB, provides other groups and organizations with engineering support in the areas of electrical, mechanical, and fluidic design and control. We also provide instrumentation selection and acquisition, CAD design, and facility upgrade support as required.

The groups' expertise lies in the design, development, construction, and operation of simulators and test apparatus for evaluating fuels, additives, and system components over a wide range of test conditions. Using these systems, the group conducts research on additized and specialty fuels in the areas of thermal stability, suppression of deposition by surface coatings, combustion, cold-flow characteristics, fuel temperature effects on aircraft component performance, and the assessment of advanced thermal management techniques.
