Helicopter Drive System R and M Design Guide

Abstract

This report is a reliability and maintainability design guide for helicopter drive systems. While not containing 'how to' design information, the guide points out those areas of design which can be troublesome in the reliability and maintainability of helciopter drive systems. Besides containing information on the various drive system components, a management section is included that outlines some practices which design managers may employ to insure that reliability and maintainability are given proper emphasis during a design program. The final section is devoted to a step-by-step procedure for hazard function analysis, which may be used to predict the reliability of a gearbox during the design stage.
