This paper is of two parts: a review of the experience of the T58 in an erosive environment, and a review of the design considerations, development testing and field experience in the T64 program relative to operation in a sand environment. Combat operation of various T58-powered helicopters showed erosion to be the major cause of engine premature removals. A description is given of problems encountered and of the design improvements and maintenance procedures implemented to minimize erosion effects. Field experience and redesign effort established general guidelines applicable to future turbine engine design and installations for helicopter and V/STOL aircraft. Mechanical and aerodynamic design requirements for sand environment operation are discussed as applicable to the T64, including the test experience obtained during the development program. Results are presented of the flight test program to evaluate the effectiveness of the inertial separator installed on the Sikorsky CH-53. Relative engine conditions are reviewed and compared to SEA field experience.

As manufacturers shift their focus from selling products to providing services, designers must therefore increasingly consider the life-cycle requirements in addition to conventional design parameters. To identify possible areas of concern, engineers must consider knowledge gained through the life cycle of a related product. However, because of the size and distributed nature of a company’s operation, engineers often do not have access to front-line maintenance data. Additionally, the large number of documents generated during the design and operation of a product makes it impractical to manually review all documents thoroughly during a design task. This paper presents a prototype knowledge-based document repository for an aeroengine manufacturer. The developed system searches and analyzes distributed document resources, and provides engineers with a summary view of the underlying knowledge. The aim is to aid engineers in creating design requirements that incorporate maintenance issues. Unlike existing document repositories and digital libraries, our approach is knowledge based, where users browse summary reports instead of following suggested links. To test the validity of our architecture, we have developed and deployed a prototype of our knowledge-based document repository. The repository has been demonstrated to and validated by the engine design community.

Abstract FROSTLINE is a fine-grain, columbium-treated carbon steel designed to be an economical solution to structural design requirements at cold temperatures. Available in plate thicknesses up to 6 inches, it offers high levels of toughness at temperatures to 80 F and higher strength levels than conventional carbon steels. Frostline also offers excellent welding characteristics, because of its low carbon equivalent. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: CS-67. Producer or source: Lukens Steel Company.
