Engineering and Development Program Plan Propulsion Safety,
Abstract
Assessment of technology advances relative to existing civil aviation regulations indicates that near- and far-term research and development is necessary to resolve potential problems areas and to improve the data base required for proper rule-making. Milestone schedules and recommended funding requirements are included for each task. The five areas of investigation are ingestion, durability, stability, fuels, and materials. The overall scope of work in safety and reliability involves investigations and evaluations in three major propulsion program subdivisions and one propulsion functional systems program area. These are: aircraft gas turbine engines, aircraft piston engines, helicopter propulsion systems, and propulsion functional systems and components. (Author)
