Abstract
THE engine analyzer described here utilizes the cathode ray tube and specially adapted circuits in a graphical indicator located at the flight engineer's station. It is designed as a permanently installed instrument for aircraft carrying a flight engineer or as plug-in test equipment for smaller planes. The analyzer is claimed to:
-
1.
Increase aircraft utilization through the reduction of service time and expense.
-
2.
Increase safety through knowing the conditions of engine operation, so that imminent failures can be anticipated during flight.
-
3.
Increase knowledge about actual engine behavior during flight, so that more efficient operating methods can be used.
