An F-35 sits under a sun shade on the flightline at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. The Air Force Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer program office and a small business partner have developed high-temperature, abrasion-resistant coating to improve reliability and maintainability. The F-35 is but one of the weapon systems to benefit from this technology. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Mikaley Towle)
