A Method for Estimating the Cost of Aircraft Structural Modification
Author: J. L. Birkler
Publisher: RAND Corporation
ISBN: 9780833002808
Category : Airplanes, Military
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Describes research into the cost of aircraft structural modifications. Detailed cost and man hour data supplied by the airframe industry permitted derivation of estimating tools for major aircraft components. Separate equations were derived for engineering, tooling, manufacturing, and material cost. The major explanatory variable was always weight. It was hypothesized that structural modification cost could be estimated on the basis of the weight of material added. Estimates of the cost of modification for the B-52, C-141, C-5, and EF-111 were compared with cost data from industry. Considerable informed judgment is required as is a knowledge of such program-specific facts as whether the original production tooling still exists. Rather than a mathematical model, the study describes the kinds of information needed, suggests guidelines, and presents estimating equations for airframe systems and subassemblies. These contribute to an understanding of the estimating problem but do not constitute a general solution. (Author).

Improving the Efficiency of Engines for Large Nonfighter Aircraft
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309179130
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Because of the important national defense contribution of large, non-fighter aircraft, rapidly increasing fuel costs and increasing dependence on imported oil have triggered significant interest in increased aircraft engine efficiency by the U.S. Air Force. To help address this need, the Air Force asked the National Research Council (NRC) to examine and assess technical options for improving engine efficiency of all large non-fighter aircraft under Air Force command. This report presents a review of current Air Force fuel consumption patterns; an analysis of previous programs designed to replace aircraft engines; an examination of proposed engine modifications; an assessment of the potential impact of alternative fuels and engine science and technology programs, and an analysis of costs and funding requirements.
