The State-of-the-Art in Oil Quantity Gaging on U.S. Military and Commercial Aircraft

Abstract

This report reviews the principal design techniques used in oil quantity gaging systems for U.S. military and commercial aircraft. The most pertinent design details of four oil quantity gaging systems are discussed and the author's opinion as to the merits of certain characteristics of each design is given based upon the potential of the basic design while operating in military environments. An attempt is made to rate each of the four designs in the following areas: adequacy of performance, vulnerability to military aircraft environments, simplicity of design and reproducibility, and maintainability.
