Abstract:Airlines have consistently attempted to lower their operational costs and improve aircraft availability by applying various technologies. Engine maintenance expenses are one of the most substantial costs for aircraft operations, accounting for around 30% of overall aircraft operational costs. So, maximizing aircraft TBO is crucial to lowering the costs. This paper presents a novel method of rebalancing the thrust of engines of an aircraft to maximize the time between overhaul of the aircraft considering the pe… Show more
