Four Steps For <strong>Intelligent</strong> <strong>Incorporation</strong> <strong>Of</strong> <strong>Technology</strong>1. Identify Stakeholders, Common Goals AndCritical Metrics– Example: USAF, P&W, Maintainers, Etc.Integrating The “Puzzle”OperationalLimitsStabilityMargin2. Review And Understand Engine Data– Performance, Safety, Affordability &Reliability3. Select Proven Technologies Ready ForInsertion <strong>Into</strong> A <strong>Legacy</strong> Engine4. Balance <strong>Technology</strong> Selections WithCustomer RequirementsGoal ManagementCustomizedControlActuatorManagementAutomaticControlDirectedMaintenance“Pieces of the Puzzle”3
Step 1: Identify Stakeholders & GoalsExample: USAF F100-PW-229• USAF Goals– Centralized Intermediate Repair– Reduced Maintenance Man-Hours– Increase Safety & Time On Wing;Reduce Maintenance Cost• P&W Goal– Improve The F100-PW-229 PositionFor The Future• USAF/P&W Common Goals– Focus On Safety & ReliabilityThrough 2035+4
Step 2: Review And Understand Engine DataExample: F100-PW-229Understand Fleet5
Step 3: Select Proven Technologies Ready For InsertionExample: P&W <strong>Technology</strong> Development & Engineering Standard WorkElementsP&W Engineering Standard WorkRigorous, Comprehensive and Continuously Improving<strong>Technology</strong> Review StepsEstablished Processes Used To Assess And Advance <strong>Technology</strong> MaturityAnd Facilitate Transition To P&W Engineering Standard Work6
Example: P&W <strong>Technology</strong> Pull Process• Technologies Are Selected Based On Proven Track Records– Commercial Engines Technologies» Output <strong>Of</strong> Development Engine Certification Process–5 th Generation Fighter Technologies» F119/F135 Development And Field Exposed Technologies• Technologies Must Meet Goals <strong>Of</strong> All Stakeholders To Be CostEffective7
P&W Example <strong>Of</strong> Technologies Evaluated For <strong>Incorporation</strong>• Turbine Airfoils– <strong>Advanced</strong> Cooling Configurations– Thermal Barrier Coatings– TMF / Oxidation Lifing Systems• Disks– Life Extension– Residual Stress Effects• Fan / Compressor Airfoils– Foreign Object Damage– Surface Treatments– Probabilistic Assessments– Erosion– Repair (IBR’s)– Mistuning (Field Effects)– HCF, Damping, etc.• Bearings– Monitoring / Trending– Hybrid Bearings• System– Usage-Based FleetManagement– Integrated Prognostics & HealthMonitoringTechnologies Selected Based On Best Fit With Desired Outcome8
