Investigation of Lubricant Concepts Applicable to Future Navy Aircraft Propulsion Systems

Abstract

Future lubrication requirements for Navy aircraft engines were estimated. Viable areas were evaluated to determine relative strengths and weaknesses of several systems. Among those areas investigated were ester lubricants, inserted ester lubricant systems, polyphenyl ethers and gas lubricated compliant bearings.
