Design Decisions

A major portion of the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of a modern high technology weapon system is determined by design decisions made very early in the development process. Many of these decisions are so fundamental that later changes become impractical. As a result, a usage-sensitive, interactive aircraft engine LCC model has been developed by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft to evaluate and prioritize potential technology candidates during conceptual/preliminary design. This paper discusses the development of the EAGLE (Engine/Airframe Generalized LCC Evaluator) model, its validation using results from the Advance Technology Engine Studies (ATES), and includes an example engine technology evaluation.

AbstractCustomer requirements and vision in aerospace dictate that the next generation of civil transport aircraft should have a strong emphasis on increased safety, reduced environmental impact and reduced cost without sacrificing performance. In this context, the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Queen’s University of Belfast and Bombardier have, in recent years, been conducting research into some of the key aerodynamic technologies for the next generation of aircraft engine nacelles. Investigations have been performed into anti-icing technology, efficient thrust reversal, engine fire zone safety, life cycle cost and integration of the foregoing with other considerations in engine and aircraft design. A unique correlation for heat transfer in an anti-icing system has been developed. The effect of normal vibration on heat transfer in such systems has been found to be negligible. It has been shown that carefully designed natural blockage thrust reversers without a cascade can reduce aircraft weight with only a small sacrifice in the reversed thrust. A good understanding of the pressure relief doors and techniques to improve the performance of such doors have been developed. Trade off studies between aerodynamics, manufacturing and assembly of engine nacelles have shown the potential for a significant reduction in life cycle cost.

This paper deals with applying Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and Design To Cost (DTC) principles to aircraft engine programs. The dynamic driving elements of LCC are identified with an example of direct application to a deterministic computer model. This model was used as the principal tool to project operating and support costs for the XT701 turboshaft engine in conjunction with the U.S. Army Heavy Lift Helicopter Development that featured a specific DTC-related award fee in the contract. The overall methodology of LCC and DTC supported by the math model earned a Superior evaluation with an unprecedented 100 percent award fee for this kind of application. The customer audit, in support of the performance award, supports the conclusion that computer models can be used to enhance the LCC aspects of propulsion system development programs.

The formation and development of the main areas of technical and economic research in the field of aircraft engine building have been considered. A typical structure of the life cycle cost of an aircraft engine has been presented and typical tasks in the field of technical and economic efficiency, solved at different stages of the cycle, have been described. Also the method used to solve these problems at the stage of development work on the creation of the engine has been considered. The purpose of the study is to develop a risk assessment methodology for the creation of an aircraft engine, as well as its software implementation with subsequent integration into an existing design product. At this stage, it is necessary to describe clearly the algorithm that will be the basis for the risk assessment of the aircraft engine development.
