POWER PLANT RELIABILITY

Proceedings includes 18 papers which discuss aircraft engine reliability from the following four aspects: reliability of current civil and military engines as experienced by their users; civil and military authorities' plans to promote improved reliability in future engines; what manufacturers are doing to improve reliability through design and testing programs; and the role that engine monitoring and diagnostics is taking in minimizing the impact of engine unreliability for both civil and military users. The papers give insight into major causes for engine unreliability and show the need for comprehensive data feedback to manufacturers. Selected papers are indexed separately.
