The Manufacturing Message Specification is an application layer Standard designed to support messaging communications to and from programmable devices in a Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment. This environment is referred to in this Standard as the manufacturing environment. This Standard does not specify a complete set of services for remote programming of devices, although provision of such a set of services may be the subject of future standardization efforts.

This technical paper collection features 15 papers covering electrification of the commercial vehicle, techniques for efficiency and reliability; developments in sensors; model based design and embedded software development; heavy duty electronic technology; autonomous vehicles; electronic control module development and test; and vehicle structure.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) describes procedures, required continuous sampling conditions, and instrumentation for the measurement of non-volatile particle number and mass concentrations from the exhaust of aircraft gas turbine engines. Procedures are included to calculate sampling loss performance. This AIR is not intended for in-flight testing, nor does it apply to engine operating in the afterburning mode.

This document establishes the minimum criteria for effective training of air carrier and contractor personnel to deice/anti-ice aircraft to ensure the safe operation of aircraft during ground icing conditions. Appendix D specifies guidelines for particular airplane models.

Abstract More than a decade ago, we proposed combined use of direct injection (DI) and jet ignition (JI) to produce high efficiency, high power-density, positive-ignition (PI), lean burn stratified, internal combustion engines (ICEs). Adopting this concept, the latest FIA F1 engines, which are electrically assisted, turbocharged, directly injected, jet ignited, gasoline engines and work lean stratified in a highly boosted environment, have delivered peak power fuel conversion efficiencies well above 46%, with specific power densities more than 340 kW/liter. The concept, further evolved, is here presented for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications. Results of simulations for a new DI JI ICE with rotary valve, being super-turbocharged and having gasoline or methanol as working fuel, show the opportunity to achieve even larger power densities, up to 430 kW/liter, while delivering a near-constant torque and, consequently, a nearly linear power curve over a wide range of speeds.

Abstract The preliminary gas turbine combustor design process uses a huge amount of empirical correlations to achieve more optimized designs. Combustion efficiency, in relation to the basic dimensions of the combustor, is one of the most critical performance parameters. In this study, semi-empirical correlations for combustion efficiencies are examined and correlation coefficients have been revised using an experimental air-blasted tubular combustor that uses JP8 kerosene aviation fuel. Besides, droplet diameter and effective evaporation constant parameters have been investigated for different operating conditions. In the study, it is observed that increased air velocity significantly improves the atomization process and decreases droplet diameters, while increasing the mass flow rate has a positive effect on the atomization—the relative air velocity in the air-blast atomizer increases and the fuel droplets become finer.

Over the past several years the FZG A/8.3/90 test method has been used to evaluate current qualified aviation lubricants. The results of the effort have been summarized in this document as a historical reference to document the findings made from the committee.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides technical information regarding Engine Control Systems Interdependencies strategies and/or functions. This concerns aircraft with multiple power sources: at least two engines, whatever the nature of the power source is (electrical motor or gas turbine engine). Within this document the aircraft stands for fixed-wing aircraft as well as rotorcraft. The term EECS or FADEC is used for the engine electronic control system, whereas the term EEC is used for the electronic unit itself. The scope includes civilian aircraft powered by turbofan, turboprop, turboshaft and electrical engines equipped with electronic engine controls. Military aircraft is taken into consideration, however restricted topics that change the operational behaviors are not discussed.

The E-36 committee is requested to develop a standard or recommended practice for Control System Fault Accommodation to provide guidance on the fault detection and accommodation strategies and robust validation toward certification to FAA Control System regulation 33.28. FAA has written an issue paper on this outlining the risks and vulnerabilities in fault detection/ accommodation based on industry/agency experience over many years; and suggested means of compliance in terms of tests, analyses, simulations. The E-36 is requested to factor in the issue paper and build on the guidance content into an SAE document for reference by the industry. In this endeavor, it is recommended that the SAE standard/ARP consider conventional gas turbine controls as well as emerging architectures such Hybrid and Electric Propulsion Systems.

This test method describes a standardized process to evaluate the an aviation lubricant’s resistance to oxidation and corrosion-based degradation and to evaluate the fluid’s tendency to corrode various metals. Fluids are evaluated under a low-moisture atmosphere at a variety of times and temperatures.

This SAE Metric Aerospace Standard (MA) defines the requirements for heavy-duty polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) lined, para-aramid reinforced, hose assembly suitable for use in 135 °C, 34,500 kPa, aircraft and missile hydraulic fluid systems.

The purpose of this SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is to provide information that would be useful to potential users/operators and decision makers for evaluating and quantifying the benefits of an Engine Monitoring Systems (EMS) versus its cost of implementation. This document presents excerpts from reports developed to analyze “actual aircraft cost/benefits results”. These are presented as follows: a First, to outline the benefits and cost elements pertaining to EMS that may be used in performing a cost versus benefits analysis. b Second, to present considerations for use in conducting the analysis. c Third, to provide examples of analyses and results as they relate to the user/operator and decision-maker community. The document encompasses helicopters and fixed wing aircraft and distinguishes between civilian and military considerations.
