Development of Navy Aircraft Baseline Reliability Predicition Models. Volume 2. User's Guide and Model Development

Abstract

Models were developed for prediction of baseline reliability characteristics of notional (conceptual) Navy fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. Each model consists of a set of mathematical equations relating two- digit Work Unit Code subsystem Mean Flight Hours Between Failures (MFHBF) to aircraft design/performance parameters. The prediction equations were derived using MFHBF data and aircraft design/performance from each of 43 representative historical Navy aircraft. Candidate predictor variables consisted of 101 design/ performance parameters for fixed wing aircraft and 89 design/performance parameters for rotary wing aircraft. This report contains two volumes: Volume I - Executive Summary and Volume II - User's Guide and Model Development. A summary of development of the baseline reliability prediction models is presented in Volume 1. The models and application procedure are contained in Part I of Volume 2. User's Guide, while data base development, technical approach, and model validation in Part 2.
