Abstract
The major emphasis of airline engine performance testing can be summarized by three precepts:
-
1.
Avoid release of engines which will be maintenance problems.
-
2.
Prevent rejection of engines which will operate satisfactorily until the next scheduled removal.
-
3.
Reduce testing costs.
This paper will present the methods used by United Air Lines to most profitably assign relative weights to the three guidelines. Further, in a related but somewhat diverse section, progress with an automated test cell data acquisition system will be presented.
