Build 2 of an Accelerated Mission Test of a TF-41 with Block 76 Hardware.
Abstract
An accelerated mission test (AMT) of a TF41 (S/N 142163) was conducted in the Air Force Aero Propulsion Laboratory's D Bay Sea-Level Engine Test Facility between 2 August 1978 and 20 September 1978. The primary objective of the test was to evaluate the structural reliability of a series of parts changes known as Block 76 hardware. A two-hundred-sixty-three hour test program was initially planned but only one-hundred-eighty-nine hours were actually completed due to the failure of a first stage high pressure turbine blade. Post-test teardown showed all of the Block 76 hardware to be in good condition. Engine performance deterioration was tracked and an exhaust gas temperature survey was performed and the data analyzed. This report describes the details of the test, including test objectives, approach, instrumentation, facility and results. (Author)
