A Guide for the Damaging Effects of Tire and Wheel Failures

2022-07-06
CURRENT
AIR5699A
Consideration for the damaging effects to aircraft from the failure of wheels and tires should be evaluated. This document discusses the types of problems in-service aircraft have experienced and methodology in place to assist the designers when evaluating threats for new aircraft design. The purpose of this document is to provide a history of in-service problems, provide a historical summary of the design improvements made to wheels and tires during the past 40 years, and to offer methodology which has been used to help designers assess the threat to ensure the functionality of systems and equipment located in and around the landing gear and in wheel wells.

A Methodology for Quantifying the Performance of an Engine Monitoring System

2017-10-13
HISTORICAL
AIR4985
The purpose of this SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is to present a quantitative approach for evaluating the performance and capabilities of an Engine Monitoring System (EMS). The value of such a methodology is in providing a systematic means to accomplish the following: 1 Determine the impact of an EMS on key engine supportability indices such as Fault Detection Rate, Fault Isolation Rate, Mean Time to Diagnose, In-flight Shutdowns (IFSD), Mission Aborts, and Unscheduled Engine Removals (UERs). 2 Facilitate trade studies during the design process in order to compare performance versus cost for various EMS design strategies, and 3 Define a “common language” for specifying EMS requirements and the design features of an EMS in order to reduce ambiguity and, therefore, enhance consistency between specification and implementation.

A Review of Literature on the Relationship Between Gas Turbine Engine Lubricants and Aircraft Cabin Air Quality

2016-09-12
CURRENT
AIR5784
There has been a recent upsurge in interest from the media concerning the quality of the environment within aircraft cabins and cockpits especially in the commercial world1-4. This has included (although by no means been limited to) the air quality, with particular reference to the alleged effects of contamination from the aircraft turbine lubricant. Possible exposure to ‘organophosphates’ (OPs) from the oil has raised special concerns from cabin crew. Such is the concern that government organisations around the world, including Australia, USA and UK, have set up committees to investigate the cabin air quality issue. Concern was also voiced in the aviation lubricants world at the way in which OP additives in turbine lubricants were being blamed in some reports for the symptoms being experienced by air crew and passengers. SAE Committee E-34 therefore decided that it should gather as much available information on the subject as possible.

AEROSPACE STANDARD, GLAND DESIGN, O-RING AND OTHER ELASTOMERIC SEALS

1993-06-11
HISTORICAL
AS4716
This SAE Aerospace Standard provides standardized gland (groove) design criteria and dimensions for elastomeric seal glands for static and dynamic applications. The glands have been specifically designed for applications using SAE AS568 size O-rings at pressures exceeding 1500 psi utilizing one or two anti-extrusion (backup) rings and applications at pressures under 1500 psi without backup rings. The glands have been sized to provide sufficient squeeze for effective sealing while at the same time limiting squeeze to allow satisfactory operation in dynamic applications. While specifically designed for standard size O-rings, these glands are also to be used with other elastomeric seals.

AGE CONTROL OF AGE SENSITIVE ELASTOMERIC MATERIALS

1975-05-01
HISTORICAL
AIR1364
This report summarizes data and background relative to age control of specific classes of those nitrile type synthetic elastomers used in sealing devices which are resistant to petroleum base hydraulic fluids, lubricating oils and aircraft fuels. This includes, but is not limited to, those nitrile (NBR or BUNA-N) elastomers specifically covered by Section I of MIL-STD-1523.

AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR TEST CODE (OECD) EQUIVALENT TO ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT C(87)53

1993-04-01
HISTORICAL
J2708_199304
The purpose of this SAE Standard is to define test conditions, describe tests to be made, specify data to be obtained, show formulas and calculations, define terms, and establish a uniform method of reporting so that performance data obtained on various makes and models of tractors, tested in accordance with this document, will be comparable regardless of where the tests are made. Because of the availability of many tractor models and types that can be equipped with a variety of special or optional equipment, the scope of this document must be limited to obtaining and reporting only the most significant of widely used performance data. Tests performed to either the Standard Code as outlined in Section 5 or the Restricted Code as outlined in Section 6 will satisfy requirements of this Agricultural Tractor Test Code. This document is technically equivalent to the OECD Tractor Test Code C(87)53, Annex I and Annex II.
