Abstract:Projection of realistic engine usage is essential for advanced tactical fighter aircraft to avoid significant durability problems and associated high weapon system costs. Previous engines such as the TF41 and F100 experienced durability deficiencies because actual field usage was more severe than initial projections. Thus, MCAIR developed systematic prediction procedures to provide improved usage estimates for preliminary design. These procedures based on digital flight simulation models were used to investiga… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
