AFM stands for various terms. Discover the full forms, meanings, and possible interpretations of AFM across different fields and industries.
An aircraft flight manual (AFM) is a book containing the information required to safely operate the aircraft. Each AFM is tailored for a specific aircraft, though aircraft of the same make and model will naturally have very similar AFMs.
AerospaceAircraftAviationTechnologyAn instrument that uses atomic forces between a sample and a sharp scanning needle tip to image surfaces to molecular accuracy by mechanically probing their surface contours; the AFM measures the tiny upward and downward motions of the tip as the tip is dragged over the surface, producing an atomic-resolution topographic map of the surface. The AFM has also been used to physically manipulate individual molecules.
