Requirements for Advancement of Technology Gas Turbine Engine Monitoring Instrumentation.
Abstract
The report presents the requirements for advancement of technology in the state-of-the-art of aircraft gas turbine engine monitoring instrumentation. The report discusses data on causes of engine removal for overhaul for aircraft gas turbine engines used by the Navy. It is seen that engine monitoring may result in a substantial increase in average time between overhauls. Advancement of technology requires realization of the benefits available through engine monitoring. It also requires a scientific determination of the parameters necessary to accurately define engine conditions and studies to define the extent of inflight computation and monitoring. Also required is accurate turbine inlet gas temperature measurement up to 3500F, and a hot section analysis system which evaluates material fatigue, thermal shock, and creep. (Author)
