Investigation and Analysis of Reliability and Maintainability Problems Associated with Army Aircraft Engines

Abstract

The reliability and maintainability problems associated with gas turbine engines currently operational with the U.S. military services were examined in the report. A broad spectrum of turboshaft and turboprop engines in U.S. Army, Navy and Marine helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft was examined. The study concentrated on the detailed R and M experience of the T53, T55, T58, T64, T73 and T74, although quantitative R+M data is provided on other gas turbine engines in military and commercial service.
