Nonflammable Hydraulic Power System for Tactical Aircraft. Volume 2. Equipment and Systems Test and Evaluation.

Abstract

The objective of the Nonflammable Hydraulic Power System for Tactical Aircraft program was to develop and demonstrate an advanced hydraulic system design operating at a maximum pressure of 8000 psi using an Air Force Developed, nonflammable fluid, chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE). It followed four previous programs directed at this technology at Boeing and MCAIR. It was further complemented by three other Air Force sponsored programs which embrace either 8000 psi, CTFE or both. These programs were conducted by Parker Bertea Aerospace (Seal Evaluation), by Vickers Incorporated (High Pressure Pump Development) and by Rockwell International (High Pressure Distribution System Evaluation).
