Helicopter Drive System R and M Design Guide.

Abstract

This report covers the investigations conducted during the Helicopter Drive System R and M Design Guide program. The report discusses the present state of transmission reliability and how reliability and maintainability are dealt with during the design and development of a helicopter drive system. Other topics discussed include the effect of quality control on drive system reliability, drive system maintainability problems, diagnostics, and the likely effect of advanced design concepts on the reliability and maintainability of future drive systems. Two different types of reliability prediction techniques, hazard function analysis and probabilistic design, are discussed, and the strengths and weaknesses of each are outlined. Test planning and maintainability analysis are included as separate appendices. (Author)
