Hydraulic and Pneumatic Retainers (Back-Up Rings), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Resin

2009-03-13
HISTORICAL
AS8791B
This specification and part standard covers polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin material and the dimensional requirements for retainers (back-up rings) previously covered by MIL-R-8791 and MIL-R-8791/1. The retainers are intended for use in hydraulic and pneumatic system components as anti-extrusion devices in conjunction with packings and O-rings.

Configuration Control for Maintaining Correlation of Gas Turbine Engine Test Cells

2009-03-13
HISTORICAL
ARP6028
The configuration of a test facility that exists at the time when a correlation is being carried out should be “base lined” as a condition of correlation approval acceptance, and, be maintained during the time period that the respective correlation approval lasts. This defines test facility configuration control. This is due to the fact that a change in configuration may have the potential to change the established correlation factors and measured engine performance. If such a change occurs then this should be judged by the respective OEM’s or designated correlation approval authorities Subject Matter Expert (SME). In some cases, this may involve consultation with the engine project customer or airworthiness authorities.

A Guideline for Application of High-Density Fiber Optic Interconnects to Aerospace Platforms

2009-03-03
HISTORICAL
AIR5271
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR5271) covers the basic attributes of a second-generation robust, reliable high-density fiber optic interconnect system for aerospace applications. The intent is to take advantage of recent commercial developments in materials, components and manufacturing methods to develop rugged high-density fiber optic interconnects optimized for aerospace and automotive applications, which can accommodate a variety of optical fiber waveguide types. These waveguide types include single mode and multi-mode glass/glass fibers and waveguides, plastic clad silica fibers and waveguides, and all polymer fibers and waveguides. This second generation interconnect system should represent a dramatic improvement over first generation. The cable should be extremely robust eliminating any concerns over cable damage or fiber breakage in an aerospace environment.
