Why Read This?

Maybe you get this magazine because you are one of the many partners in industry we have made over the years. You might get it because we feature an advertisement or other listing for your company, or perhaps you expressed an interest in our editorial, information, or product services. This publication could have been passed on to you by a colleague or friend, or maybe you just found it lying around - a case of dumb luck. Before you toss this paper in the recycling bin, use it for litter in a birdcage, or let it sop up an oil leak, here is why you should at least leaf through the pages of Aviation Aftermarket Defense and take a glance at what we have cooked up for you.

If you have even a passing interest in aviation history. . . Our aviation scholars pound the Internet, and, yes, dig up the dusty, old texts, to put together some of the more interesting facts, failures, successes, and downright quirks related to the development of aircraft through the years. Mark Twain wrote, "There is no such thing as a new idea.

It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn… but they are the same old pieces of colored glass . . ."

In every issue, we bring to light some of those bright-shining, scuffed with use, highly honed, or rough and jagged glimmers of ideas. We turn them over and discover where they led inventors, designers, aviators, tactical planners, and the guys who signed the checks. And we follow where those concepts have led—to dead ends or in promising new directions—on the long road to the incredibly high-tech aircraft of today and, of course, tomorrow.

If you have even the smallest amount of curiosity, even the slightest interest in what makes aircraft and the industry work… Then you are likely to find something of interest in the various nuts and bolts discussions by our team of industry experts.

In this issue, we consider the importance of the tooling used to make and sustain a legacy transport, and what happens to it when the production line stops. We discuss challenges faced by the master sleuths who discover and repair the most elusive of faults, ensuring electrical systems in aircraft remain reliable. In a related article, we look into a future where, as we are seeing in the auto industry, electrical motors in aircraft may supplant—and certainly will further enhance—traditional powerplants. And we delve into an unending quest for engineers, researchers, and airframe designers: to achieve the perhaps possible dream of managing an aircraft's boundary layer.

If you are paying attention to what is happening in the domestic and increasing volatile international circus… You likely will be interested in reading about major development and upgrade projects, international efforts, national investments, and related conflicts that will impact global airlift services into the mid-twenty-first century.

As we all know, the biggest steps ahead in capability can involve the greatest challenges. The Super Galaxy C-5M strategic lifter has been a poster child for an incredibly capable workhorse that has had an uneven, though invaluable, past, and promises an awesome future. On the international front, we reveal the latest chapters in the ongoing saga of the development of a long-awaited, all-terrain military transport crucial to European and other nations' key missions, the new Airbus Atlas A400M. If you are part of or interested in becoming part of this industry and its robust community . . . This includes all of the hardworking and dedicated individuals involved in military aviation: manufacturers, maintainers, and aftermarket players; the armed forces, from the big brass to fleet operators and flight crews, and all-important support staff; far-thinking dreamers and planners in government and commercial think tanks; and those who share in the information and business synergies that bind us all together.

If you are with us in looking ahead to a successful, sustainable future. . . Well, then, I am willing to bet that you are going to be glad that you opened this and forthcoming issues of Aviation Aftermarket Defense. Go ahead, turn the page.

Canada Awards Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules Support Contract Lockheed Martin has been awarded a 5-year contract extension worth approximately $504.3 million by the Government of Canada to provide In Service Support (ISS) for the Royal Canadian Air Force's (RCAF) fleet of seventeen C-130J Super Hercules aircraft, known in Canada as the CC-130J. The company has supported the RCAF CC-130J fleet since 2007; this most recent award is an extension of the original contract.

Per the contract, Lockheed Martin is the lead, providing all performance-based logistics supporting the operations, sustainment, and maintenance associated with the RCAF's Super Hercules fleet. Lockheed Martin partners with a number of Canada's aerospace companies, including CAE, Cascade, IMP Aerospace, Standard Aero, and Sonovision to support ISSrelated work.

"Lockheed Martin Canada takes great pride in witnessing the workhorse of the Royal Canadian Air Force operating in missions around the world—whether it is supporting humanitarian aid operations conducted by the Disaster Assistance Response Team or transporting troops and equipment to Canada's far north. We are committed to keeping the CC-130J fleet mission ready and maintained to the highest operational standards," said Charles Bouchard, Chief Executive, Lockheed Martin Canada. "We are equally committed to ensuring that a majority of maintenance work on RCAF's Hercules fleet is done here in Canada, ensuring that high-value jobs in Canada's aerospace industry are sustained."

Beyond the ISS contract, under Canada's Industrial and Technological Benefits Policy, investments equal to the value of the contract also will be made in Canada. This includes research and development and ensuring that work is performed by small and medium-sized enterprises from across Canadian industries.

Sikorsky to Provide Black Hawk Parts to Taiwan and Jordan Sikorsky Aircraft, a Lockheed Martin subsidiary, has received an $11 million firm-fixed-price, foreign military sales (FMS) contract to provide Taiwan and Jordan with UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter standard spare parts kits. The U.S. Army Contracting Command is in charge of the contracting activity. The work is expected to be completed by July 2017.

Among the Black Hawk's features are balistically tolerant rotor and drive systems, anti-plow keel beams, wire strike protection, and jettisonable cockpit doors. According to Sikorsky, twenty-seven countries use variants of this versatile, medium-lift helicopter.

Air Industries Receives Contract for KC-135 Landing Gear Components Air Industries Group has been contracted by Helicopter Tech to produce landing gear components for the KC-135 aircraft. The two contracts, totaling $2.3 million, will require Air Industries Group's subsidiary Nassau Tool Works to produce landing gear parts for the aircraft over a period of 24 months. The company has two facilities where it can produce these complex landing gear and flight safety critical parts. First production deliveries under the contract will begin in early 2018.

Air Industries currently supplies complete landing gear and/or landing gear parts for numerous platforms.

Helicopter Tech is one of four companies contracted under the U.S. Air Force Landing Gear Prime Vendor (LGPVC) contract worth $1.5 billion.

The 10-year contract covers the supply of landing gear components and assemblies for thirty-four different platforms.

Air Industries Group president and CEO Dan Godin stated, "This is the first time we are producing a landing gear part for the KC-135, and it is consistent with our strategy to expand our footprint into larger aircraft platforms."

Helicopter Tech CEO Rachel Carson said, "This contract is a welcome development in what has become a long and successful relationship between the two companies. The level of service, and the quality of the product are best in class. We look forward to similar collaborations in the future."

Astronics's Night Vision-Compatible Lighting to Upgrade Military F-16s Astronics won a foreign military sales (FMS) contract to design, develop, and produce night-vision-compatible lighting systems for an undisclosed country's fleet of F-16 aircraft. Work on the $5 million contract is expected to be completed over the next 24 months. Ninety percent of the contract's revenue is anticipated in 2017 and 2018.

Astronics engineers will develop a complete lighting system that will enable the aircraft to be piloted using night-vision goggles. The system includes exterior and cockpit lighting, as well as related products required to modify the aircraft wiring and control systems. Over the past 20 years, Astronics' lighting systems have been used to modify over 1,200 F-16 aircraft around the world.

"This award builds on our strong legacy of providing world-class lighting systems to the global aerospace market," says Astronics President and CEO Peter J. Gundermann. "In addition to our long history with the F-16, we provide lighting systems on virtually every major fighter, rotorcraft, and transport aircraft flown by militaries worldwide."

IMP Aerospace Delivers Re-Winged Orions to the Royal Norwegian Air Force IMP Aerospace announced the delivery of the final re-winged P-3 Orion aircraft to the Royal Norwegian Air Force, marking the successful completion of this multi-year program. These aircraft are similar to the Canadian CP140 Aurora aircraft, which also are receiving new wings, as well as mission system upgrades as part of a mid-life upgrade being undertaken at IMP Aerospace under a separate contract.

The wing replacement is part of the Aircraft Service Life Extension Program (ASLEP), which also includes the replacement of the center wing lower surface and horizontal stabilizer. Under this program, all life-limiting components are replaced with new materials incorporating advanced alloys, yielding a five-fold increase in corrosion resistance, and resulting in a significant reduction in future maintenance and operating costs.

Lockheed Martin assembled the replacement wings and other components— some of which were fabricated in Canada—for the Norwegian P-3s at its facility in Marietta, Georgia, USA. The completed assemblies were then shipped to IMP for installation.

IMP Aerospace, an operating unit of IMP Aerospace & Defence, is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. IMP Aerospace & Defence is a business unit of IMP Group Limited.

The SAAF is one of the world's oldest C-130 operators, having flown the Hercules since 1963, and it currently operates nine upgraded C-130BZs. Although these are expected to serve until around 2020, it is possible that their service lives could be extended to 2030. While there are no immediate plans for a successor, Lockheed Martin is offering its C-130J Super Hercules and Airbus its A400M to the South African Air Force.

U.S. Air Force Declares the F35 Ready for War The U.S. Air Force has declared the F-35 ready for service. "I am proud to announce this Photo courtesy of U.S. Air Force. Photo by Master Sgt. Donald R. Allen. powerful new weapons system has achieved initial combat capability," said General "Hawk" Carlisle, Commander of Air Combat Command. "The F-35A will be the most dominant aircraft in our inventory, because it can go where our legacy aircraft cannot and provide the capabilities our commanders need on the modern battlefield." While capable of conducting many different combat missions, the F-35 is particularly well-equipped for command and control functions, using its many sensors and advanced computing systems to pinpoint targets and threats and share that information with older aircraft.

The U.S. Marine's variant of the Lightning II, the F-35B with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, achieved Initial Operational Capability (IOC) last year.

A new weapons system reaches IOC when it is in its minimum deployable form. The means that the military will continue to refine the complex computing systems on the F-35 but are officially willing to send the advanced fighter jet into combat if necessary.

"The combat ready F-35A is the latest fifth generation fighter aircraft in the Air Force's inventory and provides our nation air dominance in any environment. The F-35A brings an unprecedented combination of lethality, survivability, and adaptability to joint and combined operations, and is ready to deploy and strike well-defended targets anywhere on Earth," said General David Goldfein, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, in a press release.

According to Colonel David Smith, 419th Fighter Wing Commander out of Hill Ai Force Base, "We're prepared to take this aircraft wherever it's needed in support of our national defense."

The 54H60-117 propeller system operates on the U.S. Coast Guard's fleet of C-130 Hercules heavy-lift, search, and rescue aircraft. The 5-year contract consists of a 1-year base, followed by four single-year options.

PPI is an Federal Aviation Administration-authorized repair station, certified under Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 145. For more than a half century, PPI has been recognized as an accomplished global repair and overhaul facility; the company has received several smaller, quantity-specific U.S. Coast Guard 54H60 propeller awards.

"This 5-year competitive award contract substantiates the USCG's confidence in PPI's commitment to support their fleet," stated Al Hayward, Vice President and Director of Sales and Marketing. "We have the facility, in-house capabilities and expertise to satisfy customers like the USCG, who require world-class repair and overhaul. We're honored to be of service."

With the recent implementation of a new motor test rig and workstation within its 64,00-square-foot facility, Pacific Propeller International (PPI) also has added electric motor testing, repair, and overhaul to its lineup of airframe service capabilities. The company is initially targeting auxiliary motors for military and civilian operators of C-130s and P-3s. It also offers test, repair, and overhaul services for motors up to 55 inch pounds of torque, speeds up to 25,000 revolutions per minute, and a maximum power rating of 3,400 watts.

Tim Gellerson, PPI's Vice President General Manager, commented, "PPI currently is repairing/overhauling/testing C-130 Hercules and P-3 Orion auxiliary motors, but welcomes the opportunity to not only work on these auxiliary motors, but to quote PPI's servicing of all motors that fall within the limitations of our newly established test equipment."

KC-46 Completes Flight Tests The KC-46 Pegasus has completed the flight tests required for the Milestone C production decision, the U.S. Air Force has announced. The tests were completed and involved offloading 1,500 pounds of fuel in-air to an A-10 Thunderbolt II.

he news that the ill-faring Airbus A400M Atlas military transport program will directly affect the Airbus Group's first half-year results was revealed by company Chief Financial Officer Harald Wilhelm on the third day of this year's Farnborough Airshow. At the show, held July 11 to 17, in the United Kingdom, Wilhelm stated that the most recent problems have been "fundamentally different" from earlier serious issues experienced with this new model—for instance, in 2009 and

The discovery of this problem led the German Air Force to temporarily ground two of its three A400M aircraft in June. Meanwhile, a U.K. Royal Air Force (RAF) aircraft needed to perform an in-flight shutdown of one of its engines. Airbus spokesperson Kieran Daly confirmed that both aircraft had "been discovered to have suffered the

Following a mandate for operators to conduct inspections every 20 hours and replace the affected part every 100 hours, Airbus worked closely with Avio Aero to address the problem. The interim result is a new PGB that has been certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Once installed, this should extend the component life to 650 hours.

TRAGIC DATA ERROR

Just before a planned international media event at A400M's home in Seville, the unthinkable happened on May 9, 2015. An A400M, the third destined for the Turkish Air Force, was making a predelivery test flight near the facility, when the aircrew reported a technical fault.

As Airbus investigators later stated, "engines one, two, and three experienced power frozen after lift-off and did not respond to the crew's attempts to control the power setting." During the emergency landing, the aircraft crashed, killing four of the six Airbus personnel onboard.

The cause of the crash was attributed by Airbus Chief Strategy Officer Marwan Lahoud to incorrectly installed engine control software, an installation that had taken place during the final assembly of the aircraft. On June, 9, 2015, a report by the Reuters news agency referred to software data that was "accidentally wiped on three engines as the engine software was being installed at Airbus facilities."

the replacement time to over 1,000 hours with another solution.

During Farnborough, Tom Enders, Chief Executive Officer of the Airbus Group confirmed that, despite what has turned out to be "a never-ending saga," he believes that the new platform is still going to be a "great asset" to those who have selected it.

There are currently eight customers who, between them, require 174 aircraft. The following is a list of national requirements (with deliveries at time of this writing in summer 2016): Germany 53 (4), France 50 (9), Spain 27 (0), United Kingdom 22 (9), Turkey 10 (3), Belgium 7 (0), Malaysia 4 (3), Luxembourg 1 (0). The delivery schedule should run to 2024, although at the current production rate, this may be a difficult milestone to reach on time.

OCCAR documentation states that a 1997 joint European Staff

Requirement from eight North Atlantic Trade Organization (NATO) nations found, after the assessment of a number of proposals, that they favored the Airbus A400M proposal for a cost-effective, all-terrain military transport aircraft. It was understood that such a large transport design, incorporating the latest technology, would lead to greater European interoperability, as well as the added benefits of multinational training and support agreements.

The problem regarding the slow arrival to market of the four-engine A400M Atlas turboprop military transport aircraft is that it was originally conceived to replace older turboprop transports much sooner and at a faster delivery rate. But delays occurred from the start of the program. The maiden flight, originally scheduled for 2008, did not actually happen until December 2009; it took place at the Airbus Defence and Space facility in Seville, Spain, where the aircraft is manufactured.

For the next 2 years, development delays led to cost overruns, and the prospect of cancellation loomed. Six of the aircraft's customers had to provide WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

Airbus with a $3.5 billion bailout (about $3.9 billion U.S.) in 2010. Finally, in March 2013, the EASA awarded the A400M its certification. In August of that year, the first aircraft was delivered to the French Air Force.

MAKING DO The A400M's acquisition was timed to replace the aging Transall C-160—a European two-engine transporter similar to the C-130 Hercules—which was first introduced into service in 1967 and is still operated by France and Germany and, to a lesser extent,

trials focused on paratrooper delivery capability. Airbus organized the beginning of a test campaign in the Tarbes (Pyrénées) region of southwest France with paratroopers jumping on a static line from the aircraft's lateral door. Jumps were performed at a low altitude (approximately 1,000 feet).

In this exercise, the French Air Force was joined by the French Armament Agency (Direction Générale de L'Armement, DGA), which provided parachutes and group installations.

Over sixty paratroopers took part in a combined total of fifteen flights. With parachutists dropping from both side exits, the ambition is to be able to quickly deploy more than 100 in a single pass. The campaign has continued over subsequent months, and it is expected to contribute to the development of the aerial delivery mission and its certification.

There is no doubt that the aircraft is a tremendous step ahead in capability. Customers who have already received some of their aircraft are reported to be very enthusiastic, but they also have been frustrated by the ongoing issues and groundings.

A

new future for aviation transport could soon take flight, with the June announcement that the all-electric propulsion X-57 will be airborne in a few years. Designed to be more efficient, quieter, and less polluting than conventional aircraft, the experimental plane will hold only the pilot and have a range of less than 100 miles.

Nevertheless, the X-57, a forwardthinking project of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), could blaze a path for transports to follow. As has been the case for ground vehicles, this may be,

at least initially, through the development of hybrid planes that use both electric power and either fossil fuel or an alternative fuel.

"There's a lot of potential for these technologies to influence aircraft design already," says Sean Clarke, X-57 co-principal investigator.

He's with NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center, which is located at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

Clarke notes that the X-57 illustrates a dual-electric hybrid approach. The technology demonstrator will have two propulsion systems. One will be in rotors at the wingtips, while the other

This artist's concept of NASA's X-57 Maxwell aircraft shows the plane's specially designed wing and fourteen electric motors.

NASA Aeronautics researchers will use the Maxwell to demonstrate that electric propulsion can make planes quieter, more efficient and more environmentally friendly.

will be found in a set of fans distributed along the wings. The first system will be used when cruising, while the second will only run during take-off and landing. In flight, the distributed system will be stored away to reduce drag on the wings.

Overall, the combination should improve performance, in part because each of the propulsion systems can be optimized for its part of the mission. For instance, mounting the cruise motors out at the wing tip will recover some of the energy that would otherwise be lost to the vortex that forms there.

Electric or hybrid electricconventional aircraft have been demonstrated by airframe makers Boeing and Airbus, as well as by Siemens. The industrial equipment manufacturer did so in July 2016 using a newly developed electric engine, one that reportedly delivers five times the power output per pound as compared to previous drive systems.

14 AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | FALL 2016

"This advance means that hybrid-electric aircraft with four or more seats will now be possible," Siemens stated in a release.

Siemens is reportedly working with Airbus, which could soon have an all-electric aircraft in production.

Chinese engineers also are working on plans for an electric-powered light aircraft.

Since electric motors are small, lightweight, efficient, and reliable, they can be used in ways that and places where it would not be practical to deploy a conventional fuel-powered engine. NASA has done some work on how this might be applied to transports.

One such concept of a potential transport model that benefits from such an application is the StarcABL, or single-aisle, turbo-electric aircraft with a boundary layer propulsor. The size of a Boeing 737, this concept vehicle has standard turbofans under the wings and an electric motor-powered, aft-fan propulsor located at the tail end of

the aircraft.

This configuration takes advantage of the boundary layer, a sheet of air right next to the skin of the aircraft. This layer travels at a slower speed along the aircraft than does the air freely flowing past some distance away. In smaller aircraft, the boundary layer is thin.

That's not the case for large aircraft, such as transports.

"By the time you get to the aft end of the fuselage, you'll have a fairly thick layer of air that's moving much slower than the free stream.

So if you could put a fan—a ducted fan or an open rotor—there at the back of the fuselage, it would be seeing much slower airflow that it could accelerate. And so it would be much more efficient than putting that fan somewhere else," Clarke explains.

According to NASA studies, exploiting the boundary layer translates to as much as a 12 percent fuel savings over the conventional approach. As Clark WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

points out, the compactness and other features of electric propulsion make the concept feasible.

However, electric-powered flight does have a significant drawback: the need to carry one or more batteries, which with current technology must be of a substantial size. The amount of power that can be stored in the batteries limits the vehicle's range and maximum speed. That is why the X-57 will only be able to carry a single passenger, the pilot.

Energy storage density has historically doubled about every 10 years and that interval may have recently dropped almost to 7, thanks to efforts by industry and organizations like the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research at Argonne National Laboratories. Possible future WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

advances include new battery chemistries, such as one using lithium, either with sulfur or oxygen, for potentially a 50 or a 300+ percent storage density improvement, respectively, over today's best lithium-ion technologies. Though the gains might be greater, the lithium oxygen approach would be challenging if not impossible, as adding oxygen to lithium without exacting control makes for a fiery combination.

Even without a major breakthrough in battery makeup, steady improvement in the existing storage cell technology should continue to yield greater energy storage than is possible now. Today's batteries, for instance, are six times as energy dense as what were

considered state-of-the-art versions 25 years ago.

At the same time, transitioning radically different designs into successful commercial and military applications will not happen overnight. Such major shifts away from proven technology take time.

That explains why the X-57 is being developed now.

As Clarke predicts, "Battery technology is improving fast enough that, in say 10 years, we expect architectures like this will make a lot of sense. That's why we want to get this research done now."

odern military transports sure look sleek and slippery. And designers do their utmost to reduce drag wherever possible and practical.

Drag, after all, cuts airspeed, while increasing fuel burn. But one source of drag has been the special target of engineers, researchers, and airframe designers: the aircraft's boundary layer.

The boundary layer is the layer of air that lies right against the skin of an aircraft. It can vary in thickness, depending on a number of factors, including airspeed and surface finish; it generally will be thicker on relatively rough surfaces and much thinner on highly polished areas.

In flight, this layer of air experiences so much friction with the surface of the aircraft, that, in WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

effect, it "sticks" to the skin. This effectively slows the air enough that the close-lying layer of air molecules can remain almost stationary in relation to the moving aircraft. Those almost stationary molecules dramatically slow down the next layer of air molecules as well. This effect continues for some distance from the exterior of the aircraft, diminishing as you move farther away, until you finally have air moving freely past at whatever speed the aircraft is flying.

The presence of the boundary layer prevents what is called "laminar flow," which is air flowing smoothly as a continuous sheet across a wing or other airframe structure. Without getting into too much technical detail, laminar flow is highly desirable, because it

translates directly into low drag and high efficiency—two qualities that are of paramount importance, particularly for large aircraft, such as transports.

The boundary layer also causes undesirable secondary effects.

Because the boundary layer gets thicker as air flows toward the trailing edge of a wing, a design that does not control the boundary layer can result in poor flight control response. This may include phenomena such as aileron "deadbanding" (where the aileron becomes unresponsive until it deflects beyond a certain point) or even, in extreme instances, aileron "snatching" (when it moves out of control).

Given the importance of the boundary layer, engineers have

Even in supersonic flight, boundary layer control is critical to reducing drag and aerodynamic heating. This shadowgraph of a pointed spike at Mach 3 clearly shows the transition between laminar flow and turbulent flow.

This wind-tunnel photo shows streamlines of smoke flowing over an airfoil at three different angles of attack.

spent decades pondering various ways to reduce it, control it, and compensate for it. Some methods have worked well, while others had potential but proved impractical.

Today's modern transports use a combination of the tried-and-true and more recently developed methods. At the same time, manufacturers are looking at some truly amazing technologies that may more effectively control the boundary layer.

STICK TO IT Controlling the boundary layer on wings not only pays the biggest dividends, it also can solve a host of control and performance problems. So it is not surprising 18

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | FALL 2016

that so much effort has been focused on this area.

Some of the earliest efforts concentrated on preserving laminar flow over as much of the wing as possible. The physics of the boundary layer typically causes the airflow over a wing to separate and become turbulent just past the thickest part of the airfoil. So the goal was keeping the airflow contiguous and moving together smoothly along the surface right to the trailing edge of the wing.

Back in the 1940s, at the outset of World War II, the first efforts to streamline military aircraft began with trying to make the wing skin as smooth as possible. Flush rivets, extra-slick paint polished to a high

shine, lapped wing skins with almost nonexistent joining lines, and other tricks were used to try to keep the unbroken airflow moving along.

Some 70 years later, much theoretical progress has been made in developing airfoils that have natural laminar flow. (There is actually a series of airfoil shapes carrying the designation NLF.) However, there are still no production aircraft featuring full natural laminar flow wings.

Other schemes to achieve laminar flow have included sucking the boundary layer into the wing interior through thousands of tiny holes in the wing's upper surface.

That works, but the weight and complexity of such systems currently makes them impractical.

The opposite also has been tried—blowing high-speed compressed air across the top of the wing from specially designed slits or ports along the upper surface. Again, the equipment involved in this "active blowing" is too heavy and complex for practical use.

Yet another scheme involves specially designed "gloves" to tailor the wing surface shape and smoothness. By carefully selecting the wing surface-finish WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

characteristics, engineers can determine where and how the boundary layer breaks into turbulent flow. As envisioned, this could solve two aerodynamic problems at once: providing precise control of the boundary layer, and limiting the spanwise airflow found on sweptback wings. (The common way to control spanwise airflow is with winglets at the wing tips.)

Laminar-flow gloves have been tried on a number of aircraft, but success has been limited, and adaptability to existing aircraft also is, at best, limited. So, as promising as the concept is, researchers have yet to design a practical laminar flow wing.

FUTURE SHOCK

Reducing or eliminating the shock wave produced during hypersonic flight could make possible aircraft that are more like spacecraft.

Twenty years ago, engineers working on a laser-propulsion system also came up with a concept known as a directed energy air spike (DEAS).

They hypothesized that adding enough energy to break air down into an ionized plasma at a certain point just ahead of a hypersonic vehicle would cause a dramatic reduction in drag, as well as reducing the shock-wave heating effects of the vehicle's speed. This added energy could take any form—a focused laser beam, microwave radiation, hydrogen injection (burning in air), or even a conventional plasma torch—as long as it produced a plasma ahead of the vehicle at the proper point. In subsequent hypersonic wind-tunnel tests, the DEAS has worked as theoretically predicted.

Dr. Leik Myrabo of Lightcraft Technologies, one of the developers of DEAS, told us, "Coupling DEAS to electromagnetic acceleration of air plasma makes it possible to annihilate the hypersonic bow shock wave. Doing so makes overland supersonic flights feasible (if not practical) and totally silent."

Myrabo says that his caution regarding the practicality of DEAS for conventional aircraft is due to the formidable energy required to produce such a continuous plasma. He notes that DEAS was originally conceived for use with beamed-energy propulsion (BEP) vehicles that could tap into vast amounts of energy being transmitted from the ground— with near zero mass penalty added onboard.

Still, given advances in highpower, millimeter-wave and laser technology (the U.S. Air Force is getting ready to flight test a 150-kilowatt laser weapon), practical DEAS applications may not be too far off.

Sucking the boundary layer into the wing has been a favorite method for producing laminar flow. While very effective, the weight and complexity of such systems currently renders them impractical.

wing, and control surfaces, such as ailerons and flaps, work much better.

As a bonus, vortex generators lower the aircraft's stall speed by keeping the airflow energized and smooth at higher angles of attack, which, in turn, means that it can land at a lower speed and thus can use shorter runways—a particularly desirable trait for transports.

NOT JUST WINGS Boundary layer problems are not limited to the wings of an aircraft.

Poor boundary layer conditions anywhere on the airframe can be a significant contributor to overall drag. This can reduce control, potentially requiring larger tail surfaces, with all the extra weight and drag those bring.

The aft-most part of an aircraft fuselage is where boundary layer problems are typically the most intense—particularly where the fuselage narrows to the tail cone or where it turns abruptly for an aft cargo ramp and door area.

The Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules is a prime example of an aircraft design that

experienced this kind of problem.

Lockheed Martin's engineers were able to tame the boundary layer in this area by adding microvanes along the sides of the aft fuselage. These vanes change the airflow around the aft cargo doors to reduce overall airframe drag, helping the Hercules fly farther on less fuel.

The aft end of Boeing's C-17 also has received attention in adjusting the boundary layer. As delivered in conventional configuration, the C-17 features a pair of specially designed strakes (long metal strips) attached to the aft fuselage to improve stability. The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has been conducting flight testing of a number of different devices to further improve airflow around the aft fuselage under the vertical stabilizer.

The first set of tests used "finlets" (small fins) produced by Vortex Control Technologies (VCT), of Kennesaw, Georgia.

doubled the number. Another set of tests has used Lockheed Martin's microvanes, arranged in the same area.

In each case, the objective was to re-energize the boundary layer, thus cutting drag and decreasing fuel consumption. At the time of this writing, flight test results from the program were expected to be released before the end of the year.

THE ACTIVE FUTURE Vortex generators are considered a form of passive boundary layer control. Active boundary layer control includes the approaches mentioned above, sucking the layer into the wing skin or blowing compressed air across its surface.

For the most part, these approaches have added too much weight and complexity to the airframe, thus rendering them impractical.

But Boeing and the National Aeronautics and Space WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

Administration (NASA) have been looking at other applications of actively blown boundary layer control. Working together, they have conducted wind tunnel and flight experiments investigating an actively blown rudder for the Boeing 757.

drag, while maintaining control authority and stability.

Another approach to actively controlling the boundary layer that has been accumulating wind-tunnel data is the use of synthetic jet actuators. These use piezoelectric devices to oscillate a patch on top of

the wing. As the wing skin flexes up and down, it alternately pulls down a small amount of air and then expels the air upward. The first part also pulls the boundary layer down, moving more energetic air closer to the wing skin. When the skin flexes back, the little puff of expelled air disrupts the boundary layer, causing a tiny vortex to form that energizes the boundary layer downstream from the actuator.

Wind-tunnel testing has shown that synthetic jet actuators can enable aircraft to fly at much higher angles of attack and fly more slowly without danger of stalling. At this point, such synthetic jet systems have not progressed beyond the laboratory.

As with some other active approaches, it may turn out that the additional weight and complexity of dozens or hundreds of piezoactuators on each wing will render the system impractical 22

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | FALL 2016

for most aircraft.

Another system being tried uses plasma to control the boundary layer. These systems are known as di-electric barrier discharge (DBD), and they work by creating an intense electric field that ionizes the air passing over the wing. Depending on the configuration and operating mode, a DBD system either can be used to maintain laminar flow much farther back on the wing (operating in a steady state), or it can be used to create micro disturbances in the boundary layer that turn into vortices to energize the boundary layer.

Of all the future-tech systems under investigation, the DBD/plasma system shows the greatest promise for active control of the boundary layer. Researchers in Germany have used DBD systems to replace the conventional flight controls on a small flying model. The 6-inch

span flying wing has proven quite maneuverable, even though it lacks movable control surfaces.

Researchers in China also have been conducting wind-tunnel tests of advanced di-electric systems.

Reportedly, these systems are aimed at controlling boundary layer flow in the trans-sonic and supersonic region.

THE QUEST CONTINUES Precise control of the boundary layer has been a top priority for engineers for decades. For most of this time, the dynamics of boundary layers have been very well understood. But controlling the boundary layer with any kind of precision has proven to be much more difficult. Nevertheless, given the benefits such exacting control would produce, engineers continue the quest undaunted.

e all think we understand the basics of electricity.

But its use and diagnosing and repairing problems caused by electrical faults— particularly when talking about the ever more complex systems involved in aircraft—can be a major

challenge. To start with, to be able to diagnosis electrical problems, you have to understand six concepts: charge, current, energy, power, voltage, and resistance; which are measured, respectively, in coulombs, amps, joules, watts, volts, and ohms.

As if that is not enough, it is also

Even those with knowledge of electrical engineering have a difficult time applying their education to real-world electrical problems and applications. An example occurred at the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s, when layoffs of electrical engineers and other highly-skilled workers was rampant in the defense sector within California's aerospace industry.

Many laid-off workers enrolled in a California state-sponsored retraining program. This program was designed to utilize their vast electrical system design skills and knowledge and re-train them to be skilled automotive technicians.

At that time, there was a shortage of "electrical" talent in the automotive industry. New cars came equipped with electronic fuel injection (EFI) systems that used onboard computers, sensors, and actuators that were, in many ways, similar to modern aircraft electrical systems. There was need for technicians who could diagnose and repair EFI systems, and the laid-off aerospace workers seemed a good fit for these jobs.

However, many of these individuals, when presented with a 12-volt direct current circuit (components mounted onto a piece of plywood) and a voltmeter were unable to explain various voltage readings at points within the circuit.

Did they not have a grasp of the theory of electricity? That hardly seems the case, since many of them helped design Maverick missile guidance systems and aircraft radar components.

The problem with real-world electrical applications and electricity is that it is not enough for a technician to learn theories in a book, or to even design highly complex electrical circuits. To become a competent aircraft electrical technician, you have to be able to apply theoretical concepts to wires, connectors, and other physical components located throughout an aircraft.

impossible to observe these interrelated concepts in operation.

For instance, you cannot see electrons flowing through a wire at the speed of light. About the only thing most of us will ever notice is the end result of a working electrical circuit—the flip of a switch in a darkened room causes a light to come on, or turning on a main battery switch in an aircraft turns on the lights in its instrument panel.

Aircraft electronic technicians do not receive enough credit for the knowledge and skills they must possess to successfully diagnose and repair the myriad complex electrical systems found in modern military aircraft. In addition, highly specialized skills often are required.

For example, the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force both design their training programs according to types of aircraft and/or the areas of avionics that trainee aircraft electricians will become experts in.

field of aircraft electrical and environmental systems are encouraged to earn 2-year associates degrees in aviation maintenance technology, as well as a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airframe and Power Plant (A&P) Certificate, before they work on transport and fighter aircraft.

The Army requires 24 weeks of avionics training in the classroom and in field operations. In addition, the Army also requires that all technicians who specialize in attack helicopter avionics and armament systems, in addition to learning basic maintenance and repair of aircraft electrical systems, receive advanced training in weapons' systems maintenance.

Troubleshooting aircraft electrical systems can be difficult but can be made easier if the task at hand is broken down into basic steps. An experienced technician will: (1) take appropriate preventative safety measures; (2) review the related system's

operation in the appropriate maintenance instructional manual (MIM) and analyze the symptoms; (3) detect and isolate the problem(s); (4) make the necessary repairs; and (5) upon completion of the repairs, test the system for proper operation.

ENSURING SAFETY In addition to receiving specialized training, electrical technicians working on aircraft have to be prepared to handle a wide range of problems that might be encountered. In the course of a day's work, they might have to deal with disconnected and unprotected power cables, hydraulic oil draining from disconnected lines, leaks in high-pressure gas or air lines, and issues related to handling heavy components.

To try to reduce the potential danger of such scenarios, technicians take preventive measures. These include using temporary insulation shielding to protect exposed power cables, draining oil lines into labeled containers, bleeding off gas or air lines so there is no pressure contained in systems being worked on, and using special equipment for lifting heavy objects—or, at least, enlisting help in lifting.

Warning signs are placed near main power switches, and some jobs even require that the aircraft's batteries be disconnected.

ELECTRICAL FAULTS

Corporals James Majors and Joshua Drummond, both avionics technicians with the U.S. Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 465, inspect the wiring connected to the clutch bottle on a CH-53E in Iraq. The avionics division is the first shop called to troubleshoot most malfunctions with the aircraft.

When dealing with ongoing repairs, technicians also may have to take extra steps to pull and tag protective circuit devices (circuit breakers and other fail-safe items) and notify maintenance control.

Imagine what could happen if another technician unknowingly turned on a fuel pump when fuel lines were open, or switched on power to loosened or disconnected electrical cables.

ANALYZING It is difficult, if not impossible, to effectively analyze an electrically related problem without a complete understanding of how a system is supposed to work under various conditions. Even experienced techs often refer to the MIM, whether a printed manual or, more frequently these days, a digital file on a laptop or other accessible system.

Analysis of symptoms includes a visual inspection of all components, looking for open circuit breakers, improperly installed switches, lose mountings, disconnected components, and burnt, dented, or WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

otherwise damaged equipment. A key step involves checking all circuit breakers that turn on power to the system. It is surprising how many electrical system problems are purportedly fixed by the partial or complete replacement of components and/or wiring, when the actual root cause of many issues is a faulty circuit breaker.

DETECTING AND ISOLATING The next logical step for technicians is to detect and isolate the actual problem. In many cases, the detection of a fault takes more time than is required to correct the fault.

Collaboration among team members who have addressed similar issues and performed comparable tasks can make a big difference in discovering and carrying out a repair.

Experienced technicians study each job before taking action, thinking through each step, formulating a plan, and making a list of tools they will need to perform the job safely. Setup for the repair may include the use of extension lighting to illuminate dark access spaces or

temporarily installing cooling blowers to lower the temperature within aircraft. The MIMs almost always lists tools required for specific activities and describes where components are located, as well as how to gain access to them.

The first step in any diagnostic repair process is to trace electrical power to the component that is not operating. Using an applicable MIM helps technicians identify which pin in a connector provides power to which component(s). Voltage readings can be taken at checkpoints illustrated in the MIM. Some of the more commonly encountered faults that interrupt power to a circuit include bad circuit breakers, broken wiring, loose terminals or plug connectors, and faulty relays and switches. Further continuity and resistance checks can identify the type of fault involved, whether opens, shorts, unintentional grounds, or incorrect resistance values at various points within the circuit.

ELECTRICAL MEASURING TOOLS

A discussion of aircraft maintenance is not complete without some mention of necessary tools of the trade. Working on electrical systems with a digital multimeter is the equivalent of using a ratchet and socket set for mechanical maintenance. A digital multimeter is an accurate, reliable measuring instrument used at the organizational, intermediate, and depot levels of maintenance. This instrument is easy to use and read, and some digital multimeters have a battery pack for portable operation.

The Fluke model 8808A 5.5 Digital Bench Multimeter is representative portable unit currently used by the U.S. Navy. This compact tool (3.5” x 8.5” x 11.5” and 4.6 pounds) can measure both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) Image courtesy of Fluke Corporation. voltage, resistance, and both AC and DC amperage. It features a dual, fluorescent display that allows two input signal properties to be viewed simultaneously at measurement rates of 2.5, 20, and 100 samples per second.

Saved meter setups can be accessed with a single, front panel set-up key. There is also a "Compare" mode that enables the user to determine if a measurement is within a defined limit.

It is smaller in size (1.7” x 3.5” x 7.3” and 0.93 pounds), allowing it to be carried clipped to a technician's belt and used in tight spaces. Model 179 provides the operator with voltage and current measurements, manual and automatic ranging, frequency, capacitance, resistance, Image courtesy of Fluke Corporation. continuity, and diode measurements.

While both the Fluke 8808A and 179 multimeters can measure resistance or Ohms, they are not sensitive enough to measure resistance of electrical insulation surrounding wires or cables. For this type of test, a "megohmmeter" (aka "Megger") that can measure very high resistance values is required.

Electrical wires or cables running through an aircraft all have insulation surrounding them, and maintaining the insulation's integrity is a performance and safety issue. Much like a leak in a water pipe, an imperfection or deterioration of electrical insulation allows electricity to escape.

The U.S. Navy uses the Fluke 1550C Insulation Tester for testing high-voltage equipment. The 1550C sends voltage through a wire and measures how much electricity "leaks" from the conducting wire through the insulation. Testing is accomplished by measuring resistance to Image courtesy of Fluke Corporation. current flow; high resistance means little current is escaping, and conversely, low resistance indicates insulation is breaking down and a significant amount of current is leaking through and along the wire's protective insulation.

Keeping records of test results can produce a picture over time of the overall "health" of electrical insulation so that it can be replaced before it becomes a serious issue.

values, both found in the MIM, technicians can trace circuit wiring and components, part by part, wire by wire, until the fault is isolated. Once the fault is discovered, the solution often is a straightforward repair, though this can depend on how extensive and accessible the damage is, whether the damage can be repaired, and, if not, whether replacement components are immediately available.

Speaking of components, a lot of interrelated, non-electric components can be found in aircraft electrical systems: mechanical instruments, direct reading gauges, mechanical linkages, and the various hardware that is typically part of an electrical system. Even though this equipment cannot be checked using tools such as digital multimeters and oscilloscopes, the same basic rules and steps for troubleshooting problems apply: (1) take safety precautions; (2) review component operation and analyze; (3) detect; (4) repair; and (5) test.

Once any faulty component and/or wiring are discovered, the faulty parts generally must be removed and repaired or replaced. Removal can be tricky, as it is important to remove equipment so that it is not damaged further. In addition to increasing the likelihood of repairing or salvaging some or all parts, this also makes it easier to figure out what went wrong with the faulty component and potentially preventing it from happening again.

To complicate matters, working in incredibly tight spaces, it can be difficult to remove one part without damaging nearby components or wiring. A related challenge involves the potential of misplacing or losing small parts, even if they can be easily replaced. Small parts lost in an aircraft are a very real foreign object damage hazard, which can cause serious damage to aircraft systems during operation.

INSTALLING THE REPAIRED OR REPLACEMENT PART For the most part, installation procedures are usually the reversal of removal.

However, there are a few rules that apply to the installation of new aircraft equipment. Certain new equipment is WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

ELECTRICAL FAULTS

DID THE REPAIR WORK? The final step when performing any electrical repair job is to test the system and all related equipment to confirm that it is fully operational. At a minimum, a technician will simply operate the new component or system to verify that it is working as described in the MIM. Following a successful test of the repair work, however, there usually are a few remaining steps: inspection by qualified personnel, notification to maintenance or production control, and completion of work orders or maintenance action forms. Not until all of the appropriate personnel are notified and the requisite paperwork is completed is the aircraft considered "officially" operable.

DOING IT BY-THE-BOOK Personnel in charge of maintaining military aircraft are often no different from those who work on other types of vehicles, especially when shortcuts exist to complete jobs faster.

However, taking shortcuts with aircraft maintenance and repair is frowned upon as this practice can increase costs of aircraft operations.

packaged with sealing plugs, locking devices, and other measures, all of which has to be removed before installation.

When a component requires adjustments, those adjustments may need to be completed before installation. (Again, the MIM is the best source of information.) For example, often when matching a position transmitter to its corresponding position indicator, a process known as calibration, it is easier to perform this task with the wiring connected to the uninstalled actuator, than calibrating the unit after mechanically mounting it.

Finally, before mounting any unit, technicians must ensure all mounting hardware is in place and properly tightened. All cables and lines must be routed correctly and all connections made secure.

time can lead to further, potentially dangerous, failures that could have been avoided.

Unnecessary component replacement is problematic in avionics repair. Each year, countless dollars' worth of instruments and electronic components are returned to overhaul facilities with labels stating that they are faulty. Upon completion of testing by overhaul personnel, many of these components are found to be without defects. A classic example of this is replacing an entire compass amplifier, when the root cause of the problem is a faulty circuit breaker.

Another example of unnecessary equipment replacement could occur if a technician replaces a "black box" piece of equipment without performing analysis or diagnostics to determine the real cause of the failure. The new replacement might seem to fix the problem, until it fails as well, and further analysis reveals

that faulty wiring caused the unit to fail twice.

When troubleshooting, aircraft technicians have to deal with the fact components often are expensive and, in some instances, scarce. The practice of using parts replacement as a way to troubleshoot/diagnose an electrical fault is wasteful, expensive, and reflects poor maintenance practices.

Thus, trained military electrical technicians, like master sleuths, spend the time needed to find the true fault. They make decisions to replace equipment only after thoroughly analyzing system operation and testing components.

After all, they know that a lot falls on their shoulders. Not only can a wrong decision cost money, ultimately it could cause a system failure with far more serious consequences.

rom the moment the first scant details of its design began to take shape in the early 1960s, the Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin) C-5 Galaxy took on a defining characteristic that has marked every aspect of its long history: everything about the C-5 is big. At its introduction in March 1968, the Galaxy was larger than all of its predecessors. To this day, it provides a massive airlift capability that is greater than successive generations of competitors.

Along the way, the C-5 also presented a series of difficult design and maintenance issues for its manufacturer. These difficulties have been, at least in part, due to the sheer audacity of the capability it represents.

The C-5 has played a huge role in a decades-long debate about U.S. military spending, and how the nation goes about the business of procuring, maintaining, and deploying its military assets.

THE C-5: ICONIC MOMENTS

With a wingspan of more than 222 feet and a total length of just over 247 feet, the Lockheed Martin C-5 Galaxy provides the U.S. Air Force with an airlift capability that has proven indispensable for nearly 5 decades, despite early concerns by members of the U.S. Congress about the aircraft's reliability and cost. Here, a C-5 Galaxy arrives at Mildenhall Royal Air Force Base in England.

Questions of reliability have dogged the Lockheed Martin C-5 Galaxy throughout the big aircraft's long service life. Over the years, two of the C-5's most high-profile deployments have come to symbolize the contrast between its difficult early years and the progress in making the C-5 more reliable and productive.

INCIDENT AT TAN SON NHUT In April, 1975, as American involvement in the Vietnam War neared its end, the administration of U.S. President Gerald Ford launched Operation Babylift—the humanitarian evacuation of South Vietnamese orphans. In addition to its stated mission of transporting children orphaned by the war to the United States, the initiative also was intended to In the aftermath of the crash of the first evacuate U.S. personnel as conditions in "Operation Babylift" flight, the Ford South Vietnam deteriorated.

Remarkably, the crew was able to return the crippled C-5 to the airbase, but the huge plane ultimately skipped past its intended landing site, broke into several pieces, and came to rest in a rice paddy near the Saigon River. The accident resulted in 155 fatalities, including 78 children; there were 173 survivors.

IN SUPPORT OF DESERT STORM By the time of Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm in the early 1990s, the C-5 Galaxy had solidified its role as an integral part of the U.S. Air Force's strategic airlift capability.

Although its crews typically struggled to maintain a mission-capable rate of 65 percent for the big aircraft, the C-5 was The C-5 Galaxy played an important role in considered a vital component in the supporting U.S. and coalition operations build-up of coalition personnel and during the 1990-1991 Gulf War.

U.S. Air Force officials would later note that the cargo delivered by C-5 crews during Desert Storm, from mid-January to the end of February 1991, exceeded the entire amount of cargo that U.S. forces had delivered during the 15 months of the Berlin Airlift, from June 1948 to September 1949.

preeminent outsize cargo transport, the C-5 was designed to deliver a maximum cargo of 270,000 pounds at intercontinental distances. This combined payload and reach was a key characteristic for its initial deployment, beginning in July 1970, when it was first used to transport and supply U.S. troops during the Vietnam War. The C-5 was embroiled in controversy even before it made its first flights in Southeast Asia.

Beginning in November 1968, a series of high-profile congressional hearings were led

by Senator William Proxmire (Democrat-Wisconsin), an outspoken critic of U.S. conduct of the war in Vietnam. The investigations produced troubling revelations about the development of the C-5.

Design trade-offs intended to reduce the overall weight of the aircraft had resulted in cracks in its wings during fatigue tests.

Plus, its innovative landing gear—designed to make driveon loading possible by lowering the aircraft when parked on a runway—had malfunctioned during testing of the first two completed airframes.

The biggest headlines emanating from the congressional investigation, however, dealt with the extensive cost overruns the aircraft had incurred in the 3 years since Lockheed had been awarded the initial contract for the program in September 1965. Procured under the parameters of the DOD's "Total Package Procurement" initiative, which sought to combine the projected costs of the design, development, production, and support of major weapons systems in a single (that is, "packaged") contract, the total cost of the C-5 program was revealed during the hearings to be nearly $2 billion more than initially estimated.

DEPLOYMENT AND MODERNIZATION Whatever difficulties it might represent in development and production, the basic idea embodied by the C-5 ultimately proved too valuable to discard. Although the technical problems had a direct impact on the aircraft's overall effectiveness (it became necessary to reduce both its cargo capacity and maintenance intervals), the urgency of the U.S. Air Force's need for a large transport trumped congressional concerns about the Galaxy's technical drawbacks and cost.

Even as the C-5 began its operational life with the U.S. Air Force in 1970, Lockheed continued to explore ways to address the limitations imposed by the flaws in the wings and landing gear. In the years since, a series of upgrades have seen the airframe retrofitted with fixes for its initial problems. It also has received modern avionics and a new engine capable of keeping it in service for several more decades.

Although the C-5 Galaxy's reputation for being difficult to maintain was initially linked to difficulties with its development in the 1960s, the sheer size of the transport has contributed to maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) challenges over the years.

This image of a C-5 maintenance stand, at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware in 1995, gives some idea of the scope and complexity that MRO personnel face when servicing the Galaxy.

or almost half a century, the U.S. military has relied on the lifting power of the C-5 Galaxy to support warfighting and humanitarian missions around the globe. With the conversion of the C-5 Galaxy fleet into C-5M Super Galaxys near complete, the platform can now be counted on to fulfill its missions for decades to come. "The life of the aircraft is expected to extend beyond 2040," says Lockheed Martin C-5 Program Senior Manager David Hale.

The C-5's importance is difficult to overstate. The largest aircraft in the U.S. Air Force inventory and its only strategic lifter—that is, one capable of rapidly projecting and sustaining U.S. military force worldwide—the Galaxy can carry any air-transportable combat equipment in the U.S. Army's inventory. That includes two 80-ton M1 tanks, with room to spare.

Since early in the last decade, the U.S. Air Force and prime contractor Lockheed Martin have been working on what has turned out to be a remarkably smooth and successful plan to bring the C-5 into the twentyfirst century. What makes the C5-M (M for "Modernization") program all the more noteworthy is its contrast with the C-5's original development.

THE C-5: THEN AND NOW In the early 1960s, U.S. military

planners grew interested in a heavy jet transport to support the military's expanding rapid response capabilities. The U.S. Army's largest vehicles and equipment were too big for the U.S. Air Force's then-flagship hauler, the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter.

When the U.S. Air Force formally opened bidding, several contractors submitted cargo jet designs and budgets. Lockheed's lowest cost proposal won the contract, which was awarded in 1965. But the C-5 became a poster child for defense programs gone wrong. (See Patrick J. Walsh's article "The C-5 Galaxy: An Idea Too Big to Fail," also in this issue.)

Moreover, soon after its 1969 entry into service, cracks on the C-5's wings and other structural issues led the U.S. Air Force to restrict its payloads and ultimately necessitated installing a stronger wingbox in the entire fleet.

Among additional problems, the "kneeling" landing gear, designed to lower the fuselage and facilitate loading and unloading, often could not get off its knees once deployed.

Meanwhile, the overruns on the Galaxy and on Lockheed's indevelopment L-1011 civilian airliner put the company near financial ruin in the early 1970s, requiring a government loan guarantee to avoid bankruptcy. Yet despite its birthing and growing pains, the C-5 Galaxy AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | FALL 2016

has played the lead transport role in every major U.S. conflict since its introduction during the Vietnam War. Near the last century's end, as planners considered a next generation strategic lifter, a 1998 U.S. Air Force airframe study determined that the C-5 fleet had more than 60 percent of its service life left. However, neither the original engines nor the legacy avionics were compatible with continued operations.

In the cockpit, the analog equipment could not operate in the evolving regulated global airspace, which mandated digital communication, navigation, and surveillance (CNS) and air traffic management (ATM) systems.

Meanwhile, the four General Electric (GE) TF39 powerplants under the Galaxy's wings were no longer in production, and Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) issues threatened the ongoing procurement of 34

replacement parts.

THE PATH TO THE FUTURE: AMP AND RERP The U.S. Air Force and Lockheed Martin (the company created from Lockheed's merger with defense contractor Martin Marietta in 1995) launched a two-phase modernization initiative for the C-5: the Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) and the follow-on Reliability Enhancement and Reengining Program (RERP). When combined in one airframe, the upgrades create the C-5M Super Galaxy.

Launched in 1999, Phase I, the AMP avionics upgrade, was designed around a Honeywell avionics suite, adapted from "the flight control system (FCS) used in Boeing 767s and other airliners," says Hale, providing a significant reduction in development costs.

The digital, all-weather FCS incorporates flat-panel displays, enhanced navigation (such as an

advanced, embedded global position/inertial navigation system), and autopilot. Communication improvements include Satcom capability via high-frequency datalink. Predictive flight performance cues and situational awareness displays (such as the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System) on the glass panels ease crew workload and enhance safety.

Besides bringing the flight deck up to date, the AMP cockpit, which first flew in 2002, forms the digital backbone of RERP, Phase II of the C-5 modernization initiative. RERP's primary hardware upgrade is the GE CF6-80C2 engine (military designation F138-GE-100). The new powerplant generates 22 percent more thrust than the TF39, producing a 30 percent shorter takeoff roll and 58 percent faster climb rate, and allowing significant increases in payload and range.

The first re-engined C-5 flew in 2006.

The engine upgrade notwithstanding, "The 'RE' part of the acronym—Reliability Enhancement—makes up the majority of the changes," says Hale. RERP incorporates more than seventy major enhancements.

"Part of the enhancements replace out-of-production or historically unreliable components with updated ones, while others add structural strength," Hale, who heads the RERP program, explains.

These include changes or modifications to the airframe WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

The cargo area also has received substantial improvements under RERP, starting with enhanced

HEALTH MONITORING TODAY, PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE TOMORROW To ensure optimum availability and provide a path for predictive maintenance, the legacy diagnostic backbone of the C-5A/B/C—the

Malfunction Detection Analysis and Recording System (MADARS)—has been replaced and upgraded with an embedded diagnostics system (EDS).

The EDS enables the aircrew, engineers, and maintainers to view and monitor more than 7,000 test points, and it provides access to the main avionics and systems interface backbone (Mil-Std-1553B and ARINC429 data buses). Fault detection algorithms monitor the health of aircraft systems, via either the system controller or discrete/analog signals.

Any system "failed/recovered" fault status is recorded throughout the flight with supporting data relevant to the fault.

"The Flight Engineer can access the health data for system management during flight, and for defining failures for maintenance action after the flight," says Hale.

Post-flight, "Maintainers and engineers can use ground data analysis software tools, and review the sequence of events and aircraft flight conditions that led to the

system failure." This accelerates and improves the accuracy of troubleshooting and fault isolation; it also ensures that the proper line replaceable unit (LRU) parts are identified as failed and replaced.

A subset of about 200 to 300 of the EDS's 7,000-plus test points are recorded automatically at 1, 10, or 20 Hertz rates continuously throughout flight operations. The data is transferred off-aircraft via a PCMCIA card (a standard memory expansion card; originally from the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) for later troubleshooting and trend analysis.

U.S. Air Force and Lockheed Martin C-5 engineering teams "are now developing ground data analysis software tools to leverage the diagnostics/vehicle health data for fleet health monitoring, trending, troubleshooting, exceedance event analysis, condition-based maintenance, and predictive/prognostics analysis," Hale points out.

In deployed airlift operations, the M has achieved departure reliability rates higher than 90 percent, as well as a Wartime Surge missioncapable rate of more than 75 percent. At the same time, its payloads have increased 20 percent over legacy C-5s.

RERP results have been particularly impressive, with the new engines showing a ten-fold improvement in time on wing, a twenty-fold reduction of in-flight shutdowns, a more than doubled mean time between failures rate (MTBF), and a 300 percent reduction in maintenance manhours per flight hour.

According to the Air Mobility Command (AMC), which operates the Super Galaxy Fleet, White House airlift planners now rely on the C-5M to handle no-fail/highvisibility lift missions supporting the POTUS (President of the United States). Meanwhile, in the field, U.S. Army brigade commanders specifically request the C-5M for transport missions.

Though the M upgrade program is nearing completion, "sustainment of the C-5M fleet will be ongoing through the life of the

aircraft," says Hale. That includes "focused reliability and maintainability improvements."

As a current example, the weather radar is being replaced due to DMS issues with an enhanced version of a widely available commercial unit.

Concurrently, the core mission computer (CMC) is being upgraded to increase computer throughput to accommodate the new radar, as well as to support future planned and anticipated system and software upgrades.

Periodic software upgrades also are planned. "The fleet will need to meet the government-mandated CNS/ATM standards as those guidelines evolve; there are some obsolescence issues with the current VIA/AIU (versatile integrated avionics/avionics interface unit) that will lead to a future CMC replacement/ upgrade," says Hale. Studies are underway now, and any CMC replacement plan will likely be in the "2022 timeframe," he predicts.

In total, the U.S. Air Force has ordered fifty-two C-5Ms, with the final delivery scheduled for April 2018. A ceremony will mark the WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

milestone, but "details have not been developed," Hale says.

Meanwhile, the 439th Airlift Wing at Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts is scheduled to receive its first C-5M in spring 2017.

When fully deployed, the C-5M fleet will operate from the 60th (active duty) and 349th (Reserve Associate) Air Mobility Wings at Travis Air Force Base in California, as well as from Dover (Delaware) Air Force Base's 436th (active duty) and 512th (Reserve Associate); Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland's 433rd; and Westover's 439th Airlift Wings (both Air Force Reserve Command).

Perhaps most impressive for a program whose initial development was plagued by cost overruns and unrealistic projections, the AMP and RERP conversions in tandem cut operating costs by 34 percent over the lifespan of the jet. Thus, "the C5-M is expected to save $15 billion in lifecycle costs during the life of the program," concludes Hale. After all, the largest and big-ticket airlifter is paying for itself.

ehind every great airplane is a complex and diverse set of aircraft production tooling, each piece especially designed and crafted to fulfill its own unique purpose. The building of production tooling paves the way toward the manufacture of the actual aircraft, because tooling is needed to facilitate the entire assembly process.

Even if the aircraft goes out of production, as the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III did in 2015, much, if WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

not all, of the tooling is maintained for the sustainment process.

Depending on the likelihood that production might be restarted, other

{

tooling may be put into storage.

Common types of production tools include jigs, fixtures, molds, stretch blocks, and so on. Jigs and fixtures are devices designed to hold production work, and can be designed to fabricate one part or many of the same parts accurately.

Use of fixtures and jigs reduces production costs, increases productivity, ensures accuracy of the component being built, and can increase and enhance the capabilities of other machining tools.

Production molds are the surfaces within or around which the aircraft components are formed. For example, compare the tail cone on the end of a C-17 with the mold used to construct it (see illustration above).

The master model for the C-17 tail cone was produced by Nova-Tech Engineering in Lynnwood, Washington. It is made of carbon foam covered with a carbon/bismaleimide compound.

Another common production tool type is known as a "stretch form." It enables the forming of aluminum and other malleable materials into a wide spectrum of shapes and sizes. For instance, stretch forms made by Shelton Industrial Pattern, of St. Louis, Missouri, are used to elongate a sheet of aluminum over a contoured block with a hydraulic stretch press. These processes are used to form many types of aircraft skins—wings, fuselage, flaps, tail, and so on—as well as any other metal parts that require compound contours within strictly defined tolerances.

When selecting materials for tooling, two fundamental questions must be addressed: Will the tooling and/or its part be exposed to heat, as in an autoclave? Will the tooling have to withstand repeated production cycles?

WHAT IS A PREPREG?

An example of prepreg after it has been in an autoclave.

Prepreg is a combination of a matrix (or resin) with a fiber reinforcement that is ready to use in the component manufacturing process. Unidirectional prepreg tapes have been the standard within the aerospace industry for many years, and the fiber is typically impregnated with thermosetting resins.

The most common method of manufacture is to draw collimated raw (dry) strands into the impregnation machine, where hot melted resins are combined with the strands, using heat and pressure. Tape products have high strength in the fiber direction but little strength across the fibers. The fibers are held in place by the resin, and have a higher strength than woven fabrics.

Hexcel of Dublin, California, manufactures HexPrepregs, which are specially formulated resin matrix systems, reinforced with man-made fibers, such as carbon, glass, and aramid. Hexcel has its own in-house supply of carbon fiber and weaving facilities for the development of reinforcement technologies to complement the prepreg resin formulations.

Nick Stanage, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hexcel, explains, "Prepreg is the ultimate composite material. The thermoset resin cures at elevated temperature, undergoing a chemical reaction that transforms the prepreg into a solid structural material that is highly durable, temperature resistant, exceptionally stiff, and extremely lightweight."

MATERIALS AND COSTS Many considerations go into the crafting of production tooling, and often the materials can be costly. Boeing reports that 53,910 production tools valued at $860 million were produced to build and sustain the C-17.

When selecting materials for tooling, two fundamental questions must be addressed: Will the tooling and/or its part be exposed to heat, as in an autoclave? Will the tooling have to withstand repeated production cycles?

Tooling to be used for production at ambient temperatures may be made of usually less expensive materials: fiberglass, hi-density foams, machinable epoxy boards, and other softer composites. Such tooling, which cannot withstand heat or heavy, repeated use is referred to as "soft tooling."

When production tooling will be used many times, and will be heated, only certain materials can be used for what is called "hard tooling." These materials include

carbon fiber/epoxy, monolithic granite, castable granite, various ceramics, harder composites, and metals such as aluminum and steel. Material costs vary, depending on the material, but expenditures for hard tooling tend to be higher than for soft tooling. At the same time, the more durable hard tooling usually can be used for making many more parts.

One example of this kind of tool is the HexTool, made by Hexcel of Dublin, California.

HexTool is an integral heating tool made of a machinable fiber/bismalemide (BMI) composite. Embedded within the material are randomly distributed "prepreg strips" (see sidebar); when heated, these release other materials to form a larger mat.

Once cured, the HexTool will survive up to 500 autoclave cycles, and it has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is roughly equivalent to that of carbon/epoxy parts. This means that the mold and the part being formed will geothermally expand WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

at a very close, if not exact, rate during the cure time. CTE is of critical importance in the manufacture of composite parts that require exact tolerances.

While some kinds of metals are unsuitable for molding parts made out of composites that do not exhibit thermal expansion, there are types of alloys that have particularly low expansion rates. For example, Invar 36 does not noticeably expand in heated conditions, rather it is relatively "invariable" (hence the name). This alloy was discovered in 1896 by Swiss metallurgist Charles Eduoard Guillaume who was looking for a metal that would not change in length when exposed to different temperatures. By experimenting with nickel-alloys, he discovered that with a nickel level of 36 percent and the WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

balance of the material made of iron, what was to become known as Invar 36 exhibited an extremely low expansion rate. Consequently, it is used for the formation of composite parts where a minimum expansion rate is required.

Kovar, Alloy 42, Alloy 46, Alloy 48, and Alloy 52. All of these materials vary in attributes, based on the quantity of nickel used, and each is used for unique purposes in aircraft production tooling.

As new materials are created, along with the tools to form them, production lines become more efficient and less expensive to operate.

Also available is Super Invar consisting of 32 percent nickel, 5 percent cobalt, and the balance iron.

At room temperature, it exhibits a CTE that is one half of Invar 36's.

Other alloys with low CTEs include

more efficient and less expensive to operate. In addition, as production becomes ever more automated, tooling can include highly sophisticated machinery.

The C-17 production line underwent such a development with the installation of the first of many giant machining tools.

According to Boeing spokesperson David Eastman, the "Torres Mill, a 5-axis computer, is a numerically controlled trimming and drilling machine capable of trimming and drilling skin panels as long as 40 feet, and as wide as 12 feet." In addition, "this machine accommodates a curvature of up to 3 feet, and trims panels at a rate of up to 400 inches a minute." The Torres Mill, manufactured by MTorres America of Bothell, Washington, also "will precisely drill tool coordinating holes for location of detail parts to occur in later assemblies." While the cost of the Torres Mill was $5.8 million, production cost savings have been estimated at $258,000 per aircraft.

Another behemoth machining tool added to the line as production continued was an automated ring riveter measuring 42

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | FALL 2016

33 feet tall, over 50 feet wide, and more than 200 feet long. This machine was used during C-17 production to combine several smaller skin panels into one large panel. It also added internal ribs by using automated drilling and fastening.

Improvements were needed in the production of the C-17's main landing gear pod, which by the way, is longer than an F-15 fighter jet. By redesigning large bulkheads to allow for high-speed machining, the detail parts could be produced

California, ceased operations in November 2015, decisions had to be made regarding the final disposition of the production tooling. First, everything was separated into two categories, tooling to be used for ongoing sustainment, and tooling that was only useful for actual production and could not be transformed into something else.

What happens in such cases to the production tooling is based on an evaluation of the possibility of restarting production of the

restart, the greater the desirability of retaining production-only tooling."

On the other hand, storage is not free. It may be less costly to reproduce certain tooling than to save it, especially when the long-term storage is factored into the equation.

At present, the C-17 productiononly tooling is stored at the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) storage and maintenance facility, also known as the "Boneyard," at DavisMonthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, as well as at its partner facility, the Toole Army Depot, in Toole, Utah. Representatives from the production tooling department at AMARG declined to discuss storage costs, but they did confirm that there currently is no time limit for storing such special tooling and related test equipment.

WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

INTO THE FUTURE When Boeing closed the C-17 production line, engineering students at California State University Northridge (CSUN) were happy to receive various pieces of tooling and equipment. Students who study at the Boeing Automation Engineering Laboratory investigate topics such as the finer points of precision drilling through layers of carbon fiber composites and titanium—work associated with the vital job of attaching wings to planes.

CSU College of Engineering Dean Forouzan Golshani reports, "Students get involved with their senior projects, and create a senior project around a problem that exemplifies what a typical problem within Boeing would be. If they're the right talent, they immediately have a channel to employment with Boeing."

As the availability of new materials and techniques increase, need and inventiveness harness them for the production of the finest aircraft in the world. Without the aid of production tooling, creating the complex aircraft of today would be impossible. While some original tooling supports sustainment of legacy aircraft tooling, other tooling and equipment lies in wait for the potential resurrection of the C-17 and other out-of-production aircraft.

At the same time, it is good to know that not only are advances continually being made in materials and tooling, but the talent of the future will be stepping up to join in this important aspect of aircraft manufacturing.

HOLOGRAM PRODUCTS PROGRAM The Hologram Products Program was created to better serve the owners and operators of Lockheed Martin C-130 B-H aircraft. The core of the program is its commitment to quality manufacturing and customer satisfaction.

As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Lockheed Martin ensures that the parts used on C-130 B-H aircraft are manufactured in accordance to the appropriate specifications and the highest quality standards.

The Hologram Products Program has addressed this issue by qualifying manufacturers and supporting them with the correct and up-to-date technical data needed to produce OEM quality parts. Not only is each part made to the correct data, but each one has a Lockheed Martin source inspection to ensure conformance and certify the part before it ever reaches the customer’s hand. These parts may be identified by the distinctive “hologram” (holographic decal) that can be found on the part itself or the part packaging. Each hologram has a unique serial number that is recorded along with part information for quality checks and customer support.

Customers can have confidence that the parts identified with the hologram are manufactured to the appropriate specifications and the highest quality standards.

A Box Wing Transport?

Lockheed Martin's advanced-vehicleconcept aircraft seems inspired as much by modernist sculpture as by conventional aerodynamics. The graceful craft has wings that rake backward, their ends nearly reaching the tail assembly. From there, they go vertical, reaching well above the fuselage, and then reach to the rear again, where they join the tail vertical stabilizer near its top. This configuration is called a closed wing—in Lockheed Martin's version, a box wing.

Lockheed Martin's concept was created for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) Project. This program explores the feasibility, benefits, and technical risk of various vehicles and technologies to reduce aviation's impact on the environment.

The design provides two main efficiency elements: Much of the drag from a conventional wing arises from tip vortices; the box wing has no tips, so the design reduces drag, thereby decreasing fuel consumption. Its proposed use of two rear-mounted Rolls-Royce Liberty Works Ultra Fan Engines further reduces drag and fuel consumption.

The beautifully trim wing shape looks fragile. Looks are deceptive, however.

Advanced lightweight composite (nonmetallic) construction provides high strength with light weight. The materials are rugged enough that one of the chief uses envisioned by Lockheed Martin is in military transport. It is estimated that a full-sized model could carry 100,000 pounds of payloads for 6,500 nautical miles with substantial savings in costs, noise, and emissions.

Northern Carrier The grand introduction of Canadair's CL44 was classic. It could not be rolled out of its construction hangar, because the tail assembly was too tall to clear the door.

This embarrassment was compounded by many early problems in the construction of both the civilian CL-44 and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) CC-106 Yukon version. On one occasion, the engines became so loose that they threatened to fall off.

Rolls-Royce also had difficulties delivering the four Tyne 515/50 turboprops, designed to deliver a total of 17,080 kilowatts of power to drive four propellers.

The early military models sat silently outside awaiting engines. But once the initial problems were overcome, the aircraft performed well for the RCAF. When it first flew in 1959, its fuselage was of a standard design, a cigar-shape with two wide cargo doors on the port side, providing a useful cargo capacity of about 66,000 pounds. Performance was impressive for its period. In 1961, a Yukon set a world record, flying 6,750 miles from Tokyo to a base in Ontario at an average speed of 400 mph. A second record was achieved by staying airborne for 23 hours and 51 minutes.

Canadair made a modified version: the CL-44D4 was the first large aircraft with a hinged tail section. The rear portion of the fuselage could be swung to starboard for easy access. When loading, the plane resembled a giant beer stein lying on its side.

The U.S. Air Force considered this model, but the deal fell through. Although a considerable success, only thirty-nine CL-44s of any type were constructed. The RCAF retired its Yukons in 1971.

The Maxim Gorky The Soviet Union was possibly unwise to name the first of its heavy transport Tupolev ANT-20s after the author of The Lower Depths. The Maxim Gorky first flew in 1934, and that year set two records by lifting a weight of 10,000 kilograms (about 22,046 pounds) and 15,000 kilograms (33,069 pounds) to a height of 5,000 meters (16,404 feet). At 63 meters (nearly 207 feet), the ANT-20's wingspan has seldom been exceeded. The massive plane was powered by eight Mikulin AM-34 V-12 engines, producing a total of 5,368 kilowatts (7200 horsepower). It was the first Soviet aircraft to feature a functioning autopilot.

The ANT-20 was designed for cargo hauling, but the Maxim Gorky was converted to a propaganda machine to bring the Soviet message to remote areas. It was equipped with a powerful radio broadcast transmitter, a printing facility, a library, a photo lab, and a movie theater. Almost exactly one year after its first flight, the Maxim Gorky was struck by one of its escort fighters and plunged into a Moscow residential area, killing forty-five people.

A second aircraft, the ANT-20bis, was fitted out to carry up to sixty-four passengers. This may have been ill advised as well. In 1942, its pilot allowed one of the passengers to sit in the pilot's seat. The passenger turned off the autopilot, and the ANT-20bis took a nosedive into the ground. The crash killed all thirty-six on board.

FRAZIER AVIATION, INC.

Twin Otter Sometimes, it seems the versatile C-130 Hercules can do anything. But one job it cannot handle is midwinter medical rescue from the South Pole. This treacherous feat has been successfully undertaken only three times, by a popular but relatively lowly STOL utility plane, the Twin Otter.

In winter, South Pole temperatures routinely hover around -70° Fahrenheit with high winds and continuous darkness. The Twin Otter can fly in temperatures as low as -103° F, if fuel is warmed and special lubricants used. Jerry Macala, who oversaw a rescue in 2001, had instructed his crew to set up oil drums to be lit along the runway as a landing guide in the darkness. But temperatures were so cold that the gasoline would not ignite. "We had to use acetylene torches to light those things," he said. The most recent Twin Otter medical rescue was completed in June 2016.

The Twin Otter was originally developed as the de Havilland Canada DHC-6; it is currently produced by Viking Air as the DHC-6 Twin Otter. The twin-engine propeller driven plane is powered by two Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6. It has short-take-off-and-landing (STOL) capability, a fixed tricycle undercarriage, and achieves a fast rate of climb. Configured for cargo, the Twin Otter has a cabin capacity of 384 cubic feet and a range of over 980 nautical miles.

These capabilities have made the craft popular for bush plane use, utility cargo transportation, and even skydiving and parachute training. It also has been configured for regional passenger travel with seating for up to twenty.

Silent Delivery One of the most widely effective aircraft of World War II is rarely mentioned today. That's not surprising. It was made of plywood; it was ugly; and it didn't even have an engine-silent, it produced no exiting, powerful roar. Yet the Waco CG-4 transport glider (known as the "Hadrian" in England) played a major role in invasions of Sicily and Normandy and for crossing the Rhine at Arnhem. It also supplied troops in Burma and China.

Nearly 14,000 of the ungainly craft were built from 1942 to 1945. The CG-4 was designed by and named for the Waco Aircraft Company of Troy, Ohio, formerly best known for its biplane production. Fifteen other companies also had production contracts. Notably, the Ford Motor Company devoted its entire Kingsford plant to making the gliders. At one point, some 4,500 workers were turning out eight of them per day.

The gliders, made of wooden structures with a light metal frame, were 48 feet 8 inches long, 15 feet 4 inches high, and had a wingspan of 83 feet 8 inches. They were usually towed by Douglas C-47 Skytrains, attached with a 350-foot nylon rope. The CG-4 could take off under tow power like conventional gliders do today, but it also had a separate looped pickup cable that could be snatched from above by a tow plane.

Pre-release normal flight speed was typically 110 to 130 mph. A descent speed of 72 mph was ideal, as was a final landing speed about 60 mph. These speeds were critical, because the glider stalled at 49 mph and, without an engine, could not recover.

A crew of two piloted a CG-4. Cargo loads might include thirteen equipped troops; a Jeep with a crew of four, plus equipment; a 75mm Howitzer with its gun crew of three, ammunition, and supplies; a small bulldozer with operator; or six stretcher patients with medical personnel.

Straight Up Innovative aircraft designers and users both have long yearned for a craft that can take off straight up, orient to level flight, and land straight down. A helicopter can do that, but earlier models could not match transport users' demand for large cargo payloads, high cruising speeds, and extended flight ranges. In the early 1960s, the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Air Force established the Tri-Service Assault Transport Program. Its goal was to provide designs and prototypes to achieve cargo, range, and speed goals in a vertical-take-off-and-landing (VTOL) aircraft to be used by all three forces.

Vought Aircraft won the contract. By 1961, when it was purchased by the conglomerate Ling-Temco-Vought, the company was on its way toward creating the rotating-wing LTV XC-142. Connected to a relatively standard medium transport fuselage was a high-mounted wing capable of rotating to 100 degrees, past vertical, enabling it to hover in a tailwind. The tilt-wing held four General Electric T64 turboshaft engines turning out 3,080 horsepower each, cross-linked on a common drive-shaft. The plane had a cargo capacity of 8,000 pounds.

Despite numerous early-test mishaps, especially hard landings, the plane was successfully tested in a total of 488 flights in a wide range of operational situations.

It achieved a forward top speed of 400 mph. One daring and unnamed test pilot even achieved a backward speed of 35 mph. But the model was never funded. The last one was flown to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, where it remains today.
