The world’s most advanced centrifuge is scheduled to launch operations late this year, an event that promises to stamp Wright-Patterson Air Force Base as the center of gravity for aerospace medical research in the military.
“This is definitely the most state-of-the-art, advanced centrifuge in the world,” said Scott Fleming, centrifuge program manager for the 711th Human Performance Wing at the Air Force Research Laboratory.
Years behind schedule, the $34.4 million centrifuge will test the limits of thousands of military pilots over the next several decades.
This news organization was given an exclusive look at the project, which is the only one set to operate within the Department of Defense.
