Col. Andrew Roberts, CW5 Scott Brusuelas, and CDR Jay Kiser 8 ONWARD TO HIGHER PRECISION: COVART 7.0 by Rodney Stewart The last 45 years have brought great advances in the realms of computing and aircraft design. In terms of computing, we have seen the advent of desktop computing, the Internet, smartphones, cyber security, and a host of other advances that previous generations had hardly anticipated. Likewise, we have seen development and deployment of increasingly complex and technologically advanced aircraft, starting with systems such as the A-10 and F-16 in the 1970s and progressing up to the recently developed F-35 and KC-46 aircraft. The pace of progress has JAS Program Office been rapid since 1973; and, amazingly, COVART has remained a viable tool for performing ballistic 735 S.

SYSTEMS: THE NEXT STEP IN FUEL TANK SURVIVABILITY by Harry R. Luzetsky While aircraft survivability technology has made significant advances over the years, the United States still relies on self-sealing fuel tank technology that was developed and imple- mented in the early 20th century. Without a self-sealing fuel cell, a penetration event (e.g., ballistic impact) yielding a hole in the tank can result in fuel leakage, which can decrease the vehicle range and result in an in-air fire. The first successful demonstration of a self-sealing fuel tank reportedly occurred in May of 1927 by the Navy Bureau of Standards. The layered-wall tank consisted of galvanized iron walls with felt, gum rubber, and Ivory soap whitening paste sand- wiched in between. By World War II, a more advanced, lighter design was developed and implemented on U.S. military aircraft. This design, which remains largely unaltered on today’s military aircraft, consists of a layer of unvulcanized rubber sandwiched between two layers of vulcanized rubber. Upon penetration by a projectile, fuel flows through the hole, causing the unvulcanized layer to swell and seal the puncture. 3 jasp-online.org AS Journal 18 / FALL By Dale NEWS NOTES Atkinson event was renamed “JMUM” in 2003.

A Date: 12/8/06 WING SPAR UPGRADE The wing spars of most early Thrush models are the subject of FAA Airworthiness Directives (most recently FAA AD 2006-07-15) which require periodic inspection of the lower wing spar caps at the splice block attach holes for fatigue cracks. This Custom Kit is an acceptable way to replace the lower spar caps, but it does more than this for the aircraft owner. It brings the spars up to the best fatigue capability that is compatible with the existing wings. This upgrade includes not only the lower spar caps that have the first two splice holes cold expanded, but it also includes new inboard webs and doublers as well as the “big butterfly” and lower splice plate. When a set of wings is rebuilt according to this Custom Kit, it will gain the initial inspection interval of a “Group 4” airplane while retaining the spar fatigue life of its current group. The inspection intervals between initial inspection and spar fatigue life limit will be the larger inspection intervals currently used for Group 4 and 5 airplanes. The upgraded wing will be as strong as or, in many cases, stronger than the original. Note that this upgrade is for both wings. If the airplane has one relatively young spar cap and it is not replaced, the inspection intervals will be based on that spar, not the new one.

    Structural Certification of the F-16 Block 52+ Aircraft 29 November 2005 2005 USAF Aircraft Structural Integrity Program Conference Robert J. Burt Director and Deputy F-35 Structural Development and Integrity Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Fort Worth © 2005 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Structural Certification of the F-16 Block 52+ Aircraft Abstract This presentation will describe in some detail the process followed by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics – Fort Worth for the structural certification of the new production F-16 Block 52+ aircraft for foreign military sales (FMS). The F-16 Block 52+ aircraft are structurally upgraded from the USAF Block 50/52 aircraft due to carriage of the fuselage shoulder mounted conformal fuel tanks and due to the addition of numerous advanced systems. The structural requirements and their methods of verification are set forth in the program contract and subsequent program documents such as the weapon system specification and air vehicle specification. Every USAF and FMS F-16 has an Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) based upon program contractual requirement and tailored to MIL-STD-1530B Aircraft Structural Integrity Program. An ASIP Master Plan has been written for the Block 52+ aircraft which has been coordinated with and approved by the USAF F-16 System Group. This ASIP Master Plan states in specific terms how all the tasking outlined in the “five pillars” is accomplished. An overall design process will be discussed in depth pointing out how all historical structural analysis, structural test and field information has been used in the structural design of the Block 52+ aircraft.

  • Bombardier Global Express - Fuel System
    Bombardier Global Express - Fuel System INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the fuel system for the Global Express aircraft. Fuel is contained in a wet wing box structure, which is sealed to form the three main separate wing tanks, and a smaller quantity of fuel is carried in a separate aft fuselage tank. The tanks are vented to atmosphere and slightly pressurized by an air scoop located on the lower surface of each wing. A scavenge pump purges fuel from the vent lines and a climb vent, located in each main wing tank, provides ventilation when the airplane is in a nose up attitude. Each engine is supplied with fuel from its respective feed tank which contains two alternating current or AC primary pumps, and one Direct Current (DC) backup (or Aux) electrical boost pump. The transfer system maintains the feed tanks full during all attitudes, and provides automatic transfer of fuel from the center tank and aft tank to the main wing tanks. Lateral balance between left and right main tanks is controlled automatically by the Fuel Management and Quantity Gauging Computer (FMQGC), or manually through switch selections in the flight compartment.

  • Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-3B) Chapter 2
    Chapter 2 Ground Operations Introduction All pilots must ensure that they place a strong emphasis on ground operations as this is where safe flight begins and ends. At no time should a pilot hastily consider ground operations without proper and effective thoroughness. This phase of flight provides the first opportunity for a pilot to safely assess the various factors of flight operations including the regulatory requirements, an evaluation of the airplane’s condition, and the pilot’s readiness for their pilot in command (PIC) responsibilities. 2-1 Flying an airplane presents many new responsibilities that are not required for other forms of transportation. Focus is often overly placed on the flying portion itself with less emphasis placed on ground operations; it must be stressed that a pilot should allow themselves adequate time to properly prepare for flight and maintain effective situational awareness at all times until the airplane is safely and securely returned to its tie-down or hangar. This chapter covers the essential elements for the regulatory basis of flight including an airplane’s airworthiness requirements, important inspection items when conducting a Figure 2-2. A visual inspection of the aircraft before flight is an preflight visual inspection, managing risk and resources, and important step in mitigating airplane flight hazards. proper and effective airplane surface movements including the use of the Airplane Flight Manual/Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) and airplane checklists. be kept accurate and secure but available for inspection.
