Aircraft Transparency Failure and Logistical Cost Analysis. Volume II. Design Data and Maintenance Procedures.
Abstract
The aircraft transparency and logistical cost analysis program is aimed at reducing the logistical costs associated with transparency systems for 20 of the current Air Force inventory aircraft. The approach for achieving this goal was to collect all information relating to the physical and performance characteristics, and maintenance historical data of the selected study aircraft. These data provide the means of initiating search for design improvement and cost reduction studies. In order to assess the maintenance and logistical support activity as currently being practical at the Air Logistics Centers and Air Force Operational Bases, both maintenance and installation procedures, as well as qualification and testing procedures, for transparency components and support systems were collected. These data were assembled to determine the support structure level of effort and costs to identify those procedures and practices where cost reduction may be achieved. These data plus the failure analysis conducted in the transparency analysis phases provided the basis for implementing the design improvement and cost reduction studies shown in volume III.
