Download or read book An Analysis of the Costs and Benefits in Improving F402 RR 406A High Pressure Turbine Second Stage Blades Under the Aircraft Engine Component Improvement Program CIP written by Donald Alan Walter and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is part of a continuing project at the Naval Postgraduate School attempting to validate the cost effectiveness of the Aircraft Engine Component Improvement Program. It focuses on the costs and benefits derived from Power Plant Change 159 which improved High Pressure Turbine, Second Stage blades on the Harrier (AV-8B) aircraft's Rolls-Royce Pegasus (F402-RR-F406A) engine. Because sufficient failure rate data for the improved blades was not available, the analysis considers a range of costs/benefits based on two different projected blade reliabilities. The improvement to the High Pressure Turbine, Second Stage blades was found to be cost-effective from both a financial break- even point, in that the cost to produce the improvement will be recovered by the end of 1996 for the full range of projected blade reliabilities and from a Net Present Value analysis which shows that this improvement will save the Department of the Navy between $17,192,827 and $38,639,494 (in 1992 dollars) over the projected life cycle of the engine.

Download or read book Pegasus The Heart of the Harrier written by Andrew Dow and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2009-08-20 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conception of the Pegasus engine in 1957 upset all the conventions of aircraft design. It was previously usual for aircraft designers to seek a suitable engine, but this was an engine that sought an aircraft. The aircraft that resulted was the famous Harrier that is still in front-line service with air forces around the world including the RAF and US Marine Corps. This book takes an in-depth look at the engine's original design concept, initial production and flight testing. It then goes on to explain how the developments and improvements have been made over the ensuing years and includes experiences of operational combat flying, both from land and sea. The book is written in a non technical style that makes comfortable reading for all enthusiasts and historians and is copiously illustrated with many previously unseen photographs and diagrams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stanley Hooker joined the Bristol Aeroplane Company in 1949 and tugged a rather reluctant company into the jet age, determined to give real competition to Rolls-Royce. So successful was he that in 1966 Rolls-Royce decided the best thing to do was to spend ?63.6 million and buy its rival. By this time there was scarcely a single modern British aero-engine for which Hooker had not been responsible.
