Looking Where We Want to Go It had been a while since I had taken a day to roam the back roads on my motorcycle. I was once again pleased to discover there are some core lessons that, once well learned and long practiced, stay with us. My body remembered what to do in shifting, braking, balancing, and counter-steering. And when it came to the more challenging turns of New England's winding back roads, my mind remembered the most important lesson: look where you want to go.

In a recent conversation with a pilot friend, he confirmed what I already suspected.

Flying a plane takes the same kind of ingrained knowledge, skill, and mindset. He shared an anecdote about a particularly hairy flight (the flight crew facing challenges far greater than my decreasing radius turns), which could have gone terribly wrong.

In this context, he explained that the most important thing about flying, no matter how challenging it gets, is to stay calm and focused on your objective: get in the air, perform your mission, and, most important, get everyone safely back on the ground.

Again, you need to look where you want to go.

Regardless of the level of international conflict, U.S. foreign policy, and disagreement among our ranks, certain truths are indeed self-evident. Whether it is keeping helicopters ready for airlift in remote locales, transports on call to carry personnel and key resources, in-flight refuelers capable of supporting extended missions, UAVs at the ready to provide tactical support, or next-generation fighter jets and their pilots on the cutting edge, our directive is clear. We need to look to the future and invest in the technological development, manufacturing, and supply and support services that will keep us strong, capable, and ready.

The core of this investment in the future is based on the collaborative relationship between science, government, industry, and the all-important aftermarket. The articles in this issue examine some older, some ongoing, and several exciting, new technologies, all the results of such collective efforts.

James Wynbrandt delivers the inside scoop on the U.S. Air Force's selection of its next jet fighter trainer. John Likakis delves into how the manufacturer and the aftermarket are keeping the ultimate utility air vehicle, the C-130, plying the skies.

Donna Kelly looks at new technologies and manufacturing techniques that promise an unprecedented future for vertical lift, both piloted and unpiloted. Tracy Martin examines how nanotube solutions are being used to address the challenge of de-icing aircraft. Hank Hogan also explores what sounds like science fiction: engineered metamaterials achieving virtual invisibility. And Patrick Walsh takes a look back in history and relates how the synergy of research and development spanning military and commercial aviation benefitted all—and launched the Jet Age. Speaking of history, I suggest that while things may appear to change, the important things remain the same. Opinions on direction and methodology always vary, sometimes radically. Yet to date, we, the people on the ground—from inventors and problem-solvers to industrial and military planners, investors, and facilitators, and those who make it all happen—along with those in the air who put their lives on the line, have ever been forward focused. Over and again, we have done what needs to be done. We just have to keep doing what we already know how to do: looking where we want to go.

Orbital ATK Gets $90M Contract to Supply Northrop Bomber Components Northrop Grumman has awarded Orbital ATK a potential 5-year, $90 million contract to manufacture aircraft composite parts in support of the U.S. Air Force's B-2 Spirit aircraft modernization effort. Orbital ATK announced that it will produce seventeen U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Bennie J. Davis III hot trailing-edge structures and provide non-recurring engineering services for B-2 bombers. The contract includes an option for follow-on orders.

The B-2 is designed to support the U.S. military's strike arsenal and help penetrate enemy defenses and heavily defended targets. Steve Earl, Vice President and General Manager of Orbital ATK's Aerospace Structures Division, stated that the partnership with Northrop seeks to help extend the lifespan of this model.

Production of the composite materials will commence later this year at an Orbital ATK facility in Dayton, Ohio. The company's aerospace composites business uses robotics automation to accelerate the manufacturing cycle for complex components.

U.S. Navy Completes C-130T Upgrade The U.S. Navy has completed an engine control and cockpit upgrade program for its fleet of Lockheed Martin C-130T transports. According to the Navy, the last of the C-130T Electronic Propeller Control System and Engine Instrument Display System (EPCS/EIDS) installations was completed this past spring, "at cost and ahead of schedule." All of the Navy's twenty C-130Ts and sixteen KC-130Ts flow by the U.S. Marine Corps. have been put through the EPCS/EIDS effort.

The EPCS upgrade replaced mechanical propeller control system components, reducing maintenance time and increasing the time on-wing of the four turboprop engines. The work involved replacing a propeller control housing and synchrophaser system, while maintaining the legacy four-bladed propeller rotating assembly. Other components included in the EPCS installation were an electronic valve housing, electronic prop control, annunciator panel, modified mechanical pump housing, and a propeller maintenance panel (PMP). Under the EIDS portion of the upgrade, forty-three obsolescent analogue cockpit gauges were replaced with two flat panel displays.

EPCS/EIDS follows an earlier initial cockpit upgrade process, conducted on nineteen of the Navy's C-130Ts, that was completed in September 2013. That work involved equipping the aircraft with a Garmin GNS 480 GPS system, an electronic flight bag, electronic horizontal situation indicator, and engine instrument display.

Pratt & Whitney and Honeywell to Provide Power System Support to U.S. Air Force Honeywell International and Pratt & Whitney have received requirements contracts totaling $27 million for engineering, research, and development of secondary power systems for multiple platforms of the U.S. Air Force. The twin contracts, announced by the U.S. Department of Defense, will cover much of the Air Force's existing air fleet.

Maintaining and upgrading the secondary power systems is vital to keeping older legacy aircraft viable toward the end of their service lives.

Secondary power systems serve two main purposes: starting the aircraft's engines with the aid of a start cart, and then, once the engine's operation is self-sustaining, transmitting power to the aircraft's other systems.

Honeywell and Pratt & Whitney have been tasked with the development of improved safety, reliability, and lower operating costs on the secondary powers systems of F-15, F-14, and A-10 fighters, B-1 and B-2 bombers, C-130 and C-5 cargo planes, and KC-135 tankers. The two companies will conduct the work at East Hartford, Connecticut, and Phoenix, Arizona, with completion of the project expected by July 2025.

NEWS BRIEFS First JapaneseAssembled F-35A Rolls Out Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) rolled out the first Japaneseassembled F-35A fighter in a ceremony at Komaki.

The stealth jet is one of thirty-eight for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) that will emerge from MHI's Final Assembly and Checkout Facility (FACO) for the F-35. Four more have been completed and delivered from Lockheed Martin's assembly line in Fort Worth, Texas.

"Seeing the first Japanese built F-35A is a testament to the global nature of this program," said Vice Admiral Mat Winter, Executive Officer of the U.S. government's new F-35 program. "The F-35 will enhance the strength of our security alliances and reinforce long-established bonds with our allies through training opportunities, exercises, and military-tomilitary events," he continued. Separately, MHI's Komaki facility has been designated by the F-35 Joint Program Office as the North Asia-Pacific regional heavy airframe maintenance, repair, overhaul, and upgrade (MROU) facility.

The JASDF is replacing aging F-4s with the F-35, but it also eventually will replace its F-15s. Therefore, Japan might order additional F-35s. Another option would be for the country to proceed with a production version of its own stealth fighter, the X-2.

Coulson to Convert 737s into Air Tankers Coulson Aviation is adding not only more air tankers to their fleet, but also is branching out into a different model of aircraft. The company has purchased six 737-300s and intends to convert them into 4,000-gallon Fireliner air tankers.

According to company Vice President Britt Coulson, the company recognized an opportunity when Southwest Airlines made a decision to replace its 737-300s with the new 737-Max. Since the Federal Aviation Administration only allows Southwest pilots to fly two of the 737s with the same rating, the airline opted to sell its 737-300s, even though these aircraft have accumulated a relatively low number of flight hours.

While the company was satisfied with the three C-130s that it previously converted to air tankers, finding additional C-130s for the civilian market can be difficult. In addition, due to its shorter wingspan, a 737 potentially could utilize some air tanker bases too small for larger aircraft.

The Fireliner air tankers are being designed as multi-use aircraft with the ability to haul passengers. Coulson said, "With a full retardant load and 4.5 hours of fuel, we are so far under max gross weight [that] we are going to leave the full interior and galleys in, even when just in air tanker mode."

Metro Aerospace Brings Proven Drag-Reducing Technology to Hercules Fleet Metro Aerospace announced the commercial availability of its Microvanes, a drag-reduction and performance enhancement technology developed for the C-130/L-100 aircraft. Adhesively fastened on both sides of the fuselage, Microvanes can be added and removed without permanent alterations to both legacy and J-model aircraft.

The additive manufactured parts reduce total drag on the aircraft by approximately 15 points by reshaping air flow around the aft cargo door. The result is a reduction of more than 3 percent (approximately 25.5 gallons per hour) in fuel consumption, as well as notable reduction on inboard engine wear. Priced at only $125,000 per shipset, Microvanes are said to be one of the more cost-effective fuel reduction improvements for large cargo aircraft, due to their rapid return-oninvestment, ease of installation, minimal aircraft downtime, and lack of adverse impact on airdrop operations.

"Obtaining the exclusive, global license to manufacture this patented technology has enabled Metro Aerospace to rapidly bring the Microvanes to market, providing operators with significant fuel savings and increased time on mission," stated Leslie Peters, Courtesy of U.S. Air Force.

Metro Aerospace President and CEO. Lockheed Gets $59 Million U.S. Air Force Contract for KC-130J Trainer Mods Lockheed Martin has received a $59 million modification contract from the U.S. Air Force for the delivery of four customized KC-130J fuselage trainers. The U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center obligated the full amount of the modification from the service branch's fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2016 procurement funds.

According to the U.S. Defense Department (DOD), Lockheed's rotary and mission systems unit will modify C-130 airframe trainer systems to replicate the appearance, functions, and performance of the KC-130J aircraft. The DOD also noted that modified trainers will support load training and pre- and post-flight inspections on the aircraft's interior and exterior settings.

Work will occur in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Marietta, Georgia, through the end of 2021.

Lockheed Martin provides C-130J training devices, as well as aircrew instruction, operations, engineering services, and logistics support via the company's C-130J Maintenance and Aircrew Training System.

He most recently served as Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Product and Portfolio Management at Jeppesen, where he oversaw the creation and installation of analytics, flight optimization, and maintenance technologies within the digital aviation portfolio. Before that, Sain was Director of Strategy and Business Development with Boeing's fleet services unit. He also held principal and managerial roles at A.T. Kearney.

L-3 Communications Selects Rockwell Collins for KC-10 Repair Chain Management L-3 Communications recently awarded Rockwell Collins a repair chain management contract to support the repair of over 500 parts for the U.S. Air Force on fifty-nine KC-10s. Rockwell Collins will manage an estimated 4,000 repairs annually in partnership with Intertrade, a Rockwell Collins company. This program, with a required quick repair turnaround time, is imperative to sustain mission-critical operations of the aircraft.

"Rockwell Collins and Intertrade encompass a trusted source of components and repair chain solutions, and an established track record as key service providers for repair chain management," said Thierry Tosi, Vice President and General Manager, Service Solutions, at Rockwell Collins. As part of the contract, Rockwell Collins and Intertrade will leverage current vendor networks and provide logistics support through a distribution center in Memphis, Tennessee.

Rockwell Collins acquired Intertrade in 1999. With this acquisition, Intertrade leveraged its affiliation with major original equipment manufacturers, while being able to provide other enhanced services due to Rockwell Collins' strong customer relationships, product knowledge, financial position, and global presence.

METAMATERIALS

WORKING TOWARD AN INVISIBILITY CLOAK

By Hank Hogan

tealth technology makes aircraft small enough on radar to effectively disappear. Now, the emerging technology of metamaterials promises to make things vanish—not just to radar, but to the naked eye as well. While this sounds like science fiction, there have been laboratory demonstrations of metamaterial invisibility cloaks. This is possible because metamaterials are designed and made so that they have optical

and other properties unlike anything found in nature.

While this cloaking technology may never make it out of the laboratory, there are other uses of metamaterials in aerospace. This has led Airbus, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, the U.S. Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA), and others to invest in metamaterial research and applications.

One potential application is in the

radome, the structure that protects an aircraft's radar antenna. Existing materials are not perfectly clear to radar, so some portion of the incoming signals and those reflected off nearby objects are absorbed by the radome.

That would not be the case if the radome were made with virtually invisible metamaterials.

"The material will be transparent. It will not attenuate or absorb the electromagnetic signal. And that's very

This rendering of metamaterial shows that it is constructed of other materials and structures. A metamaterial has optical and magnetic properties unlike any known natural material, such as the ability to bend light around a space.

exciting for RF (radio-frequency) engineers who design radome structures," says Vincent Harris, a professor at Northeastern University in Boston and founder of Metamagnetics of Westborough, Massachusetts.

Just as important, it is also possible to make a metamaterial that rejects everything but a narrow band of a spectrum. When applied as an additional coating on the surface of a radar transparent material, the resulting construct could allow different radar antennas to sit next to but not interfere with one another.

Harris says that these properties arise because the metamaterial is composed of engineered particles with a highly magnetic core and insulating dielectric outer layer. The resulting array of microscopic particles looks like magnetic insulators that, over a fixed frequency, offer unique properties not found in any known natural materials.

For instance, supernatural properties of engineered metamaterials may include both negative permeability and negative permittivity. The first attribute is a measure of the ability of a material to support the formation of a magnetic field within itself, while the second is a measure of the resistance to forming an electric field. Because of this negative permeability and permittivity, the metamaterial can be fine-tuned so that, to a radar signal, it appears to be free space, devoid of any matter.

Besides composites, metamaterials also can be made up of structures, such as rings and rods.

Again, the interaction between the structures and the electromagnetic waves leads to optical and magnetic behavior that is not possible for known naturally occurring materials.

Invisibility arises because of the ability of metamaterials to bend light around an enclosure.

Therefore, whatever is inside that space cannot be seen.

Practical invisibility is not here 6

yet, but Metamaterials Technology, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, already makes metamaterial applications that benefit aviation. One such is an optical filter that protects pilots against laser strikes, something that the company's Chief Executive Officer George Palikaras says the Federal Aviation Administration, the U.K. Aviation Authority, and Transport Canada collectively documented as happening over 10,000 times in 2015. The application from Metamaterials Technology offers the advantage of narrow filtering. So, everything in the pilot's view, except for the specific laser wavelength being blocked, stays brighter, thereby yielding better contrast and improved visibility.

The company also is working on commercializing a new source of

power for aircraft: the Sun. "We print on this solar cell our unique metamaterial pattern, which allows the efficiency to increase but at a very thin thickness, which solves the problem that solar has today.

Otherwise, if you go thinner, that's an issue, because you basically lose solar cell efficiency," Palikaras says.

In aviation applications, weight matters. Hence, there is a need for very lightweight, highly efficient and rugged solar cells. The metamaterial improves photovoltaic performance by redirecting light so that it travels lengthwise through the absorber, instead of merely passing through its shortest dimension. The estimate is that a Boeing 737 equipped with this solar cell technology could generate an additional 100 kilowatts of power, according to Palikaras.

all-electric technology, this could substantially reduce the carbon footprint of air transport—a primary goal for twenty-first century aircraft.

With such capabilities and the possibility of breakthrough performance, it is little wonder that metamaterials are attracting attention from aerospace players and other industries looking for related benefits.

The global metamaterial market today is roughly $500 million, according to a study released by BIS Research in March 2017. By 2022, analysts predict the annual worldwide figure will reach $1.43 billion.

Such growth depends on proving that the materials actually perform as expected in the field. Tests are underway to do that, as are further WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

research and ongoing commercialization efforts.

Of particular focus is the investigation into how best to make metamaterials. The particles or microscopic structures must be no bigger, and often are much smaller, than the wavelengths of interest.

Radar wavelengths are measured in millimeters, and so the related structures for a metamaterial used in radar applications are about the same size. That is one reason why some of the earliest implementations of this technology have involved radar.

Visible light, on the other hand, has a wavelength of a few hundred nanometers, nearly a million times smaller. Fortunately, the lithographic printing technology developed for

making semiconductors with structures just tens of nanometers in size is now being used to engineer new metamaterials. Such advances are bringing the reality of true invisibility cloaking closer, due to the ability to create structures small enough to produce materials with unique optical properties.

"What has happened in the last 5 years, people have started using stateof-the-art lithography to make much smaller structures, which can operate at higher frequencies and also have a lower profile," says Metamagnetics's Harris. "People are now making lithographic structures that are in the optical or quasi-optical region."

rom a single voice in a corporate boardroom to the screech of jet engines powering a huge airframe into the western sky, Boeing's early 1950s development of the 367-80 prototype created a distinctive soundtrack for one of the great industrial success stories in American history.

BOEING'S DASH 80

As the launch customer for the Boeing 707 airliner, Pan American World Airways became the first U.S. carrier to routinely offer passenger jet service for transcontinental and intercontinental air travel. Pan Am made its first scheduled jet flight on October 26, 1958, from New York's Idlewild Airport to Le Bourget Airport in Paris - "connecting New York and Paris in seven hours."

MILITARY EXPERTISE Boeing had secured a lofty reputation as the producer of large bombers before and during World War II. The company's B-17 Flying Fortress and B-29 Superfortress played a legendary role in winning the war.

The design expertise at the heart of these capable warfighters was a key asset in the firm's attempts to adapt to the changing priorities of the peacetime military establishment. Boeing's early successes of the post-World War II era included the jet-powered B-47 Stratojet and B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers, as well as the KC-97 Stratofreighter tanker.

Although the KC-97 was itself powered by four piston engines (World War II-era Pratt & Whitney R-4360s), it was able to perform aerial refueling of jet aircraft. This made it an important part of the U.S. Air Force inventory from 1950, until it was supplanted by the KC-135, beginning in 1957.

The executive leadership of each of its primary competitors—including Douglas, Lockheed, and Convair— was convinced that any transition to a pure jet airliner would be preceded by a more gradual transformation from piston to propjet.

The Boeing 367-80 "Dash 80" prototype is shown on the flight line at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona. Boeing donated the Dash 80 to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in May 1972, and the historic aircraft was stored at the Davis-Monthan Boneyard until 1990, when it was restored for Boeing's 75th anniversary celebration the following year. It is currently on display at the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles International Airport in Virginia.

President of Boeing, met with the company's board of directors.

During the course of his presentation, Allen convinced the board to commit $15 million (of an eventual $16 million total) to the development of a prototype aircraft that would demonstrate the viability of both a jet-powered military transport, which could be outfitted as a replacement for the KC-97 tanker, and a commercially viable pure jet airliner.

The project enabled Boeing to take advantage of a federal tax rule that allowed large corporations to reinvest a portion of revenues in research and development efforts. This was in lieu of a steep tax on excess profit that had been enacted in the postwar period. (In large part due to the success of its B-47 and B-52

bombers, Boeing's effective tax rate at the time was 82 percent.)

Positioning the project as the prototype for a military aircraft, as well as a civilian airliner, also allowed the sharing of tooling and

BOEING'S DASH 80

Although airline executives and most aircraft manufacturers foresaw little market demand for a civilian jet airliner at the time of Boeing's May 1952 decision to build the $16 million prototype, the iconic, swept-wing, four-engine Dash 80 became the aircraft most commonly associated with the advent of the Jet Age in the United States.

VINDICATION Fortunately for Boeing, the Dash 80 had an early start in developing what would become the KC-135. While waiting for the Lockheed design to reach production, the U.S. Air Force placed an order for the Boeing tanker as a stopgap. Ultimately, the Air Force canceled its arrangements with Lockheed and adopted the KC-135 for the long term.

The military contract enabled Boeing to thoroughly test its prototype as part of its development. This also ensured that the civilian version, the 707, would be production-ready as soon as commercial carriers were ready to buy.

During its maiden flight, on July 15, 1954, in Seattle, Boeing test pilot Alvin "Tex" Johnston put the large aircraft through several barrel rolls.

This demonstration left the large crowd of onlookers, including many prospective 707 buyers, with an astonishing and enduring first WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

impression of the Dash 80's power and maneuverability.

Boeing received its first order for the civilian version of its new jet on October 13, 1955, when Pan American World Airways agreed to purchase twenty 707s. (The airline also committed to the purchase of twenty-five Douglas DC-8s, ensuring a fierce competition between the manufacturers for years to come.)

By the end of the year, five other major carriers had placed orders for the 707.

The iconic airliner quickly became synonymous with depictions of jet air travel in popular culture, and led to Boeing being acclaimed as the company most responsible for launching the Jet Age of passenger air travel in the United States. At the same time, the KC-135 furthered Boeing's hegemony in the market for military aircraft. The model remains in service with its original operator, the U.S. Air Force, 60 years after its introduction. During its

production run, from 1955 to 1965, Boeing built 803 Stratotankers.

The Dash 80 prototype that was at the center of each of these historic aircraft was ultimately recognized by the Smithsonian Institute as "one of the 12 most significant aircraft of all time." It has been restored as an exhibit of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.

NANOTUBES The Latest in Deicing Techniques

By Tracy Martin

n-flight airframe icing has been a problem since the 1930s, when planes could fly fast enough and high enough for ice to form on the leading edges of wings and other surfaces. Even when there was no noticeable ice on an aircraft before takeoff, airmen discovered how quickly icing could occur in flight, with potentially dangerous effects.

Although the nominal freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Centigrade), water in the atmosphere does not always freeze and condense at that temperature. It often remains

ability of such solvents to prevent ice from forming once in flight is limited.

Ice buildup on an aircraft's wing causes a disruption in airflow over the wing's surface, and a smooth wing surface is critical for maintaining aerodynamic lift and control. Even a very thin layer of ice (as little as .04 inches or 1mm) can be enough to destabilize aircraft in flight.

To reduce the effects of ice buildup, inflatable "boots" were developed and mounted to the leading edges of wings and vertical

When ice develops, the boots are inflated with compressed air and remove ice by changing the shape of the leading edge. Once the ice breaks up, the boots are deflated, and the wing resumes its normal

shape. Use of this type of deicing system generally can be identified by black leading edges on both vintage propeller airliners and modern turboprop aircraft.

Another method of removing wing ice is the use of porous leading edges made from wood.

The leading edges are saturated with pressurized alcohol. As the alcohol weeps through the wood, it keeps ice from forming on the surface. Over time, the woods originally used for this purpose have been replaced by porous

metals, which are more durable and efficient in distributing the alcohol. The British, who invented this de-icing system, continue its use on Hawker business jets. A similar system also has been fitted to small, American-built, pistonpowered and turboprop aircraft.

The process of heating wings was developed along with jet aircraft to deal with in-flight icing.

Early examples of this system were used on Boeing's 707 and the Douglas DC-8. Compressed, heated "bleed" air from the jet

OTHER WAYS TO MELT THE ICE While these traditional methods do work, new technology for deicing aircraft has been developed that uses electricity as the energy source. One example is Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, which utilizes an electrothermal ice protection scheme. Several heating blankets are bonded to the interior of the protected wing slat's leading edges. The heating blankets can be energized simultaneously for anti-icing protection during takeoff or sequentially for deicing in-flight.

This method is significantly more efficient than the traditional pneumatic or engine air bleed systems as it requires less energy NASA has patented a method for growing carbon nanotubes and nanofibers in various patterns. This computer graphic shows a single-walled carbon nanotube. Commercial applications include heat exchangers in electrical circuits, thermal protection/cooling systems, and many others. This technology is available for licensing from NASA's space program to benefit U.S. industry.

Amy Heintz, a senior research scientist at Battelle and inventor of the HeatCoat anti-icing technology, is shown inspecting an installation of the coating applied to a mockup of a wing section.

Heintz's research focuses on such heady phenomenon as dissimilar interfaces; organizing materials to tune adhesion; and electron, phonon, or gas transport.

to operate. At high altitudes, engine air bleed is a relatively expensive source of energy. The engine's core has to be made slightly larger to accommodate the increased airflow for bleed air, and such systems require many air ducts, all taking up space and adding weight. When compared to pneumatic de-icing systems, electro-thermal systems use approximately half the energy.

Moreover, because there are no bleed air exhaust holes, airplane drag and in-cabin noise are reduced.

One disadvantage of Boeing's electro-thermal heating blanket system is that it still requires a significant amount of electrical energy to operate. This is not an issue with the 787 Dreamliner as it has two, 500-kilowatt-rated starters/generators that provide WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

significantly more electrical power generation than the preceding Boeing models.

WHAT IS NEWEST? In desert-type locations, ice protection for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is usually not a deterrent to flying. However, as UAVs fly at higher altitudes and in more varying conditions, ice buildup on leading surfaces adds extra weight, disrupts airflow, and reduces lift, potentially limiting or even ending missions.

Researchers from the Battelle Memorial Institute, a technology research and development organization based in Columbus, Ohio, have successfully tested a new in-flight ice protection system for UAVs. Battelle's HeatCoat

technology, which utilizes carbon nanotubes (CNTs), has been successfully tested on engine inlet cowlings and wing components for its de-icing capabilities.

An aero-icing wind tunnel chamber that simulates temperatures as low as -22 degrees Fahrenheit and air speeds of up to 182 knots was used to test the HeatCoat system. According to the institute, the coating successfully performed anti-icing and de-icing functions over a 4-day demonstration and testing period.

What are carbon nanotubes? In material terms, they are allotropes of carbon—think diamonds or graphite.

With a diameter of approximately 1/50,000th of a human hair and a length of several millimeters, nanotubes have a nanostructure with

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | FALL/WINTER 2017

a length-to-diameter ratio that exceeds 1 million.

Carbon nanotubes are made of graphene sheets that are obtained from closely attached carbon atoms, also known as graphite.

The thickness of a graphene sheet is equivalent to one carbon atom.

When rolled into a tube-like structure, it becomes a singlewalled carbon nanotube. (There also are multi-walled nanotubes.)

With a mechanical strength 200 times greater than steel, graphene is currently the hardest known material.

These cylindrical carbon molecules have novel properties that make them useful in many nanotechnology applications that include electronics, optics, and structural materials. The CNT structures exhibit extraordinary strength, have unique electrical properties, and are efficient conductors of heat. They also can be used as additives to various structural materials. For example, CNTs make up a small portion of the materials used in carbon fiber sports equipment and automobile parts.

The applied coatings conform to 16

complex curves and thus maintain the wing's or other component's aerodynamic performance. A laminate version of the system is also available that uses premanufactured carbon nanotube heater panels.

When the UAV is in flight, a ground control station turns on the system, after which it can operate automatically. Electrical power is applied as needed to cause the coating to heat up, much like an electrical resister. An intelligent controller on the aircraft monitors the performance of the heated layer. The power level and the heat being generated is altered dynamically to ensure the minimum power use for the current flight conditions.

"Battelle has made a long-term investment in this technology, because we think it is so promising," says Ron Gorenflo, HeatCoat Systems Product Manager. "Our recent tests validated improvements we've made and prove that we are ready to go from a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 on to a TRL 7, once we identify a key partner to help complete the next step of this process." (A TRL of 6 means that the prototype tested is near the desired final configuration in terms of

performance, weight, and volume.)

Battelle describes its system as being lighter than traditional ice protection systems, having lower power requirements, and being less complex to maintain. While such attributes are necessities for use on UAVs, in which payload and

power capabilities are limited, they also mean that this technology holds promise for manned aircraft.

THE FUTURE OF CARBON NANOTUBE TECHNOLOGY IN LARGER AIRCRAFT UTC Aerospace Systems, a United Technologies Corporation company, has licensed carbon nanotube, heater-based technology from Metis Design, a technical consulting firm that focuses on structural health monitoring and multifunctional materials. Metis Design codeveloped the technology with the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

According to Mauro Atalla, WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

CARBON NANOTUBES

The UTC Aerospace Systems Advanced Icing Wind Tunnel, located in Burnsville, Minnesota, is capable of simulating air speeds up to Mach 0.9, air temperature down to -76 degrees Fahrenheit, and altitudes up to 47,000 feet. UTC's Carbon nanotube electrothermal ice protection systems are tested in this harsh environment before installation on aircraft.

Vice President, Engineering and Technology, Sensors, and Integrated Systems at UTC Aerospace Systems, the aerospace industry has an increasing need for more durable, lightweight, damage-tolerant, and low-power ice protection systems: "Thin layers of carbon nanotubes have several emerging and exciting aerospace applications. This technology strengthens UTC Aerospace Systems capability to deliver the most innovative solutions for aircraft ice protection systems.

CNT technology is ideally suited for our ice-protection product line, and we have already seen positive customer feedback from testing conducted at our icing wind tunnel.

WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

Metis Design has developed this technology over several years and has demonstrated its feasibility in several projects."

Others agree that the use of carbon nanotube electrothermal ice protection systems is likely to grow as new aircraft become "more electric," resulting in a shift away from the energy-inefficient bleed air systems. For example, The Boeing 787 reflects a completely new approach to onboard systems, as virtually everything that has traditionally been powered by bleed-air from the engines has been transitioned to an electric architecture, including auxiliary power unit (APU) and engine start,

hydraulic pumps, and even cabin pressurization. The only remaining air bleed system on the 787 is the anti-ice system for the engine inlets.

In both manned and unmanned aircraft, the use of CNT technology undoubtedly will enable the application of lightweight aircraft surface heaters that feature improved thermal inertia and increased damage tolerance. As more electrically-based systems replace traditional air bleed systems on military aircraft, they will benefit from overall weight reduction, more efficient engine configurations, an increase in operating ranges, and improved mission times.

potential payoff for the selected T-X contractor, demand from U.S. partner nations for next-generation trainers could push overall T-X purchases to 1,000 units, according to estimates.

Though the concept of a competition conjures images of flyoffs performed before reviewing stands, packed with military brass and government personnel, the selection will be based on accounting data as much as aircraft performance specs. In fact, the U.S. Air Force has remained mum about

what, if any, flight demonstrations will be performed. "Because the T-X is currently in source selection, we cannot comment on specific requirements," a spokesperson told Aviation Aftermarket Defense.

"We're also restricted from commenting on any topic that may affect source selection."

Since it was announced more than a dozen years ago, the replacement plan has drawn strong interest from aircraft manufacturers and contractors, which intensified with the release of the formal

y year's end, the U.S. Air Force is expected to select the winner of its Advanced Pilot Training (T-X) competition. This selection will end the long and delayed search for a replacement for the venerable Northrop T-38 Talon, the Air Force's primary jet trainer of more than half a century.

The U.S. Air Force plans to order 350 of the new trainers, intended to prepare pilots to fly fifth-generation aircraft like the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II, with entry into service (EIS) slated for 2024. Sweetening the

THE TALON AND THE T-X The T-X quest has been underway officially since 2003, when the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) began drafting requirements for the successor to the Northrop T-38 Talon. The U.S. Air Force later targeted 2017 for EIS, after a fatal T-38 accident caused by airframe fatigue underscored the urgent need for a replacement.

In the ensuing years, the U.S. Air Force issued several draft proposals and held numerous discussions with suppliers. Meanwhile, the envisioned platform evolved from a low-cost, advanced jet trainer to a high-performance, fly-by-wire trainer.

"Every time we went out with a draft, we got back from [manufacturers], as intended, an idea of what they have to deliver, and what they feel is a reasonable capability," says Air Force Chief of Staff General David Goldfein.

Discussions heated up late last year, with the official request for proposals released on December 30.

Whatever replacement platform is selected, the U.S. Air Force will sustain the T-38C until the new aircraft are operational. In the interim, not much more can be done to enhance the C model: the avionics and engine have been upgraded, the wings replaced, and service life extension programs have been implemented.

The T-38's current mission capability rate is under 60 percent, according to a U.S. Air Force spokesperson. The AETC targets an aircraft operational availability of 80 percent for the new platform.

request for proposal (RFP) on December 30, 2016. Noteworthy, in the wake of the RFP, are not only the platforms now officially in contention, but also those withdrawn from consideration, as the service implements a new paradigm for acquisition programs, and suppliers grapple with tightened procurement budgets.

Setting an "affordability gate" limit of $16.3 billion for 350 aircraft and an associated "live, virtual, and constructive" ground-based training program, minimum T-X performance benchmarks include a 6.5G maneuvering envelope and 20-degree angle of attack (AOA) maneuverability. The aircraft and simulation system will be tasked with both basic and advanced training roles.

Basic training consists of instrumentation and navigation; aircraft control; airmanship; formation flight; air-to-air combat; air-to-ground combat; and crew/cockpit resource management. Advanced training includes sustained high-G operations (6.5 to 7.5Gs); aerial refueling; air-to-air intercepts; night vision imaging systems operations; and data link operations.

Under the new acquisitions approach, the evaluation criteria weigh technical performance and program risk equally with price.

The U.S. Air Force will give bidders

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | FALL/WINTER 2017

credit for aircraft performance that exceeds minimum standards, which will effectively lower the total evaluated price of the platform. Bidders also will receive credit for delivering hardware below cost limits, as well as for establishing lower turnaround times.

U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff General David Goldfein says that the new evaluation process holds "great promise" for future acquisition programs. Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James calls the T-X "one of our beta cases" for a new emphasis on cost capability analysis as a means of reducing program budgets.

THE CONTENDERS The two favorite contenders for the trainer contract are Boeing's T-X, a design developed with Saab, and Lockheed Martin's and Korea Aerospace Industry's (KAI's) T-50A, a derivative of the FA-50 Golden Eagle that the companies co-developed. Also in contention is the T-100 from Italy's Leonardo and its U.S. subsidiary DRS. At least one other dark horse, the Freedom Trainer from Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), developed in partnership with Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), will reportedly formally enter the competition as well.

The glass cockpit is similar to the F-35 Lightning II's, including a single large area avionics display (LAAD) in place of the five small monitors used in the Golden Eagle. The T-50A also will be equipped with the FA-50's integrated electronic warfare (EW) suite and avionics upgrades.

Embedded ground training systems will be part of the package.

Lockheed also builds the F-22 and F-35, and this potentially means that its custom trainer design could provide significant advantages in preparing pilots for those platforms. The partners are considering building a brand-new assembly line in the United States for manufacturing the T-50A for the U.S. Air Force if they win the contract.

But after studying the RFP, Northrop Grumman announced in February that it would not be submitting a proposal for the competition, reportedly because the cost per platform that the U.S. Air Force proposes does not provide sufficient return on investment per the company's calculations. The same reasoning was cited for Raytheon's exit from the contest.

These dropouts do not faze the U.S. Air Force. "I'd be concerned if we only had one competitor," says Goldfein. "But as long as we've got a competition—and a really informed competition—I think we're in a pretty good place."

than ever before possible. As you read this, major defense contractors, including Bell, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Sikorsky, along with hundreds of other manufacturers and suppliers, are building demonstrators

of these vastly superior aircraft.

The FVL program has set new standards that could only be reached by accessing new technologies and manufacturing techniques. These methods have enabled original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to build modernized vertical lift aircraft that can meet the tough demands of the FVL initiatives, including faster speed and longer range. Reliability, serviceability, and reduced logistical support are other key factors of the FVL initiative.

Another concern is scalability, meaning that basic design is easily scaled up or down to produce lighter or heavier versions as needed for varying special applications.

Airframes, propeller systems, engines, sensors, support systems, and more are all being radically improved to enable air superiority in any airspace or landing zone where U.S. military forces might operate.

It is interesting to note that while Sikorsky is now owned by Lockheed Martin, Lockheed Martin also has partnered with Bell in the FVL competition, which, at the time of this writing, was preparing to debut its new model. Boeing and Sikorsky also have been working together to demonstrate a full-scale prototype in early 2018.

The Bell V-280 Valor provides warfighters strategic options, operational reach, tactical agility, and overmatch at the point of decision.

MISSIONS MADE MORE POSSIBLE Mike Hirschberg, Executive Director of AHS International, explains that the U.S. Army ran several notational scenarios for the FVL initiative.

Hirschberg shares one study in which 130 soldiers were to be transported in a 121 nautical mile (about 139 mile) air assault.

Under high/hot conditions, ten Black Hawks, escorted by two Apaches, could only carry five passengers at a time with the T700 engine. The twelve aircraft would have to make three trips each, stopping along the way at a Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARPS) in each direction to gas up, for a total mission time of 480 minutes (8 hours).

Hirschberg stated that "Once upgraded with ITEP-powered powerplants, the same aircraft could conduct the mission in one trip without FARPS, carrying thirteen troops in each UH-60M, for a total mission time of 68 minutes. The ITEP-powered mission would use only one-quarter of the fuel and oneeighth of the time—not including the time, fuel, risk, and cost of establishing and holding FARPS. Today, CH-47 Chinooks must be used for such high/hot air assault missions."

BELL'S VALOR Bell aircraft has been using a "digital thread" concept to streamline the entire process of building the Bell V-280 Valor, including the entire fuselage, the tiltrotor, and various parts and accessories.

Bell Aircraft's Director of Global Business Development for Advanced Tiltrotor Systems, Chris Gehler, explains, "We have been able to design the aircraft [and] collaborate with suppliers, engineers, and information technology teams in order to understand where interference might be and where changes need to be made. Pieces are snapping together, wires are going where they need to be, [and] the rework is significantly reduced."

Using a digital design process also keeps costs low.

Bell relates that it took 700 to 800 work hours to create the design drawings for the BellBoeing V-22 Osprey, but it took only 40 hours to design the V-280 Valor.

Specifications for the V-280 include a top speed of 280 knots (322 miles per hour, more

than twice the speed of current helicopters), a range of 500 to 800 nautical miles (575 to 921 miles, also twice the range currently available), and a cargo load of up to 13,000 pounds. A team of four crew members can transport fourteen fully equipped troops, medical evacuees, equipment, or whatever is needed.

Features include cabin armor, fly-by-wire component redundancy, and state-of-theart countermeasures. The taildragger landing configuration consists of two forward main landing gears and a large wheel on the aft fuselage—all of which are retractable. An internal bay holds four laserguided bombs, and the outboard pylons are fitted with 19-shot laser-guided rockets.

Bell predicts that the advanced tiltrotor speed and range will provide operators with access to more places, as well as better in-flight control once the objective is reached.

The V-280's powerplant configuration offers situational advantages, because only the proprotor airflow is directed WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

The Sikorsky/Boeing SB>1 Defiant is one of the contenders for the U.S. Military's Joint Multi-Role program.

downward. The engines remain fixed in place horizontally, eliminating the hot exhaust problem that has led in the past—in the case of the V-22 Osprey, for example—to fires in the landing area. This change also "improves the pilot's field of view, because much less machinery is blocking the view along the wings," explains V-280 Build Team Manager Scott Allen.

SB>1 DEFIANT Boeing and Sikorsky have teamed together to produce the SB>1 Defiant medium-size demonstrator.

This new model features offset coaxial rotors that spin in opposite directions, eliminating the need for anti-torque systems and providing a significant weight savings. Co-axial systems also reduce the phenomenon of lift dissymmetry, because equal lift is generated on both sides. When one blade is advancing, the other is retreating.

The Defiant features an advanced drive with a rigid rotor system, a pusher prop with a clutch, and active WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

vibration control. The pusher prop contributes forward thrust, effectively enabling higher speeds. Defiant's top speed is anticipated to be over 250 knots, or 287 miles per hour. (By comparison, the UH-60 Black Hawk tops out at 183 miles per hour.)

While the new model's range was unspecified at the time of this writing, the aircraft is expected to perform well at high altitudes, one of the main deficiencies of today's helicopters.

"The only reason that we're not meeting the range requirement at this time is that we are using a pair of T-55 engines from Honeywell, and their fuel consumption is bigger than the projected fuel consumption for FVL," explains Pat Donnelly, Defiant Program Manager at Boeing. A new engine in development will be coming online soon.

Defiant is a fly-by-wire aircraft with retractable landing gear. It will carry a crew of four, with a passenger complement of twelve combatequipped troops or eight casualty evacuation stretchers. A gun mounted on the nose and winglet

launcher racks for missiles and rockets make the aircraft combatready. The developing team also states that the SB>1 boasts a "dramatically reduced acoustical signature," allowing for stealthier entrances and exits—a key advantage in certain missions.

IMPROVED ENGINES TO GIVE EXTENDED LIFE Billed as the U.S. Army aviation's "top modernization priority program," the Improved Turbine Engine Program (ITEP) forms the second major component of FVL. ITEP will provide new powerplants to improve the performance and capabilities of the Army's existing fleet of Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawks and Boeing 64E Apaches.

Operations in the hot temperatures and high altitudes of Afghanistan and Iraq have revealed significant shortfalls in the capabilities of the GE Aviation T700 engine currently installed on both types of aircraft. In addition, extra weight and drag have been added to the

ADVANCED VERTICAL LIFT REQUIRES ADVANCED SENSORS...

As in other areas of military aviation, sensor usage has become a paramount feature of vertical lift aircraft. Sensors can assist pilots with navigation, enable them to see more clearly when operating in degraded visual environments (DVE), aid in detecting threats, and otherwise serve as a collecting point for imagery.

According to Steve "Elroy" Colby, Business Development Analyst Principal at Sikorsky Aircraft in Owego, New York, this kind of intelligence can be "overlaid on a synthetic vision 3D terrain backbone and/or electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) imagery," enabling crew members to literally see around things that block their direct view. He predicts, "Active terrain-following/terrain-avoidance radars and flight directors will be a thing of the past, replaced by obstacle sensors that plot obstructions in a 3D evidence grid or with realtime (no latency) imagers that allow crews to see through all obscurants, including self-induced brownout."

Weight is always a critical factor in aviation, and multi-task sensors are being designed to accomplish more with less. For example, an advanced distributed aperture system mounted on the skin of the aircraft could incorporate EO/IR, image intensifying, millimeter wave (MMV), illuminated terahertz, and a Femto camera. ...AND ADVANCED THREAT DETECTION In April 2017, BAE Systems of Arlington, Virginia, unveiled its 3D Advanced Warning System (3DAWS), a suite of products designed to increase survivability from shoulder-fired missiles and other types of advanced threats. 3DAWS is built to maximize the effectiveness of current flare and directed infrared countermeasure systems. It also will provide tracking capabilities to aid in damaging or destroying incoming threats.

Cheryl Paradis, Director of Threat Management Solutions at BAE, revealed, "At the heart of 3DAWS is BAE Systems' passivelycued, semi-active, radio frequency 3D Tracker technology. Serving as an adjunct to the company's Common Missile Warning System or any future passive threat detection system, the 3D Tracker technology provides the third dimension to the system's detection process and allows for definitive threat assessment."

28 AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | FALL/WINTER 2017

airframes throughout the years, as technology has progressed and mission requirements have changed.

Richard Kretzschmar, Project Manager of both the FVL and ITEP initiatives, estimates, "It would take 30 years to replace all the Black Hawks in the fleet. In the meantime, those Black Hawks and Apaches are going to need the ITEP engines, designed to fit into the existing airframe spaces, and capable of producing an increase in the shaft horsepower (hp) from the current 2,000 hp to 3,000 hp."

The ITEP program seeks to: 1) provide 50 percent more power at the same weight, 2) achieve a 20 percent longer engine life, 3) realize a 25 percent improvement in specific fuel consumption, and 4) reduce operations and support costs over the lifetime of the engine.

Currently, the ITEP program has two main contenders. GE Aviation, of Evendale, Ohio, received a development contract for $102 million. Advanced Turbine Engine Co. (ATEC), of Huntsville, Alabama, a 50-50 joint venture formed by Pratt & Whitney and Honeywell, received a contract for $154 million.

One fundamental difference between the two engines in development is that GE Aviation's T901 engine is a single-spool core, while the ATEC engine has a dualWWW.ABDONLINE.COM

spool core. In a single-spool core, all rotating components in the compressor and the gas generator are on one shaft and rotate at the same speed. A dual-spool core splits the compressor into two independently spinning rotors, with each being powered by a separate gas generator/ turbine on concentric shafts. The advantage of having two compressors is that they can run at different speeds for engine optimization.

Proponents of single-spool engines state that this configuration is less weighty and complicated, making it easier to fix in the field.

Advocates of the dual-spool variety assert that it delivers better dependability and greater fuel efficiency.

GE Aviation has had four decades of success with its single-spool T700 engine, and this knowledge was used in the design of the new T901 powerplant. The availabilities of new technologies, such as advanced ceramic matrix composites, 3D aerodynamic modeling, and additive manufacturing have enabled GE to go far beyond what was possible with the T700. Reportedly, the 901 also will be less expensive to manufacture and WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

have a 35 percent lower acquisition cost, while delivering as much as 65 percent higher power to weight than its predecessor.

ATEC's T900 dual-spool engine boasts 10 percent more power growth capability than comparable single-spool offerings. In addition, according to the manufacturer, the T900 will provide a 3 to 4 percent specific fuel consumption advantage over single-spool alternatives.

The dual-spool engine design uses computerized systems to distribute load between the two compressors and adjust engine load to enhance performance. The result is a potentially cooler engine with reduced wear and tear. For instance, if a helicopter was operating in sandy conditions, the dual-spool engine could allow the rear compressor to turn faster and the front compressor to turn more slowly, potentially improving performance while helping the front compressor take less of a beating from sand ingestion.

THE FUTURE OF UN-PILOTED VERTICAL LIFT According to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), combat outposts require on average

100,000 pounds of materials each week to remain operational. However, forward bases and outposts are commonly difficult to reach, due to rugged terrain, the danger of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other enemy threats. Thus, vertical lift aircraft often are the best option for resupplying, conducting tactical insertion and extraction, and evacuation of wounded personnel.

In 2009, DARPA created the Transformer (TX) Program to build unpiloted vertical lift systems to serve as resupply vehicles. The goal was to provide flexible, terrain-independent transportation for logistics, personnel transport, and tactical support for small ground units.

In 2013, DARPA selected the Aerial Reconfigurable Embedded Systems (ARES) design concept, which consists of a new type of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works of Palmdale, California, is building the aircraft, in conjunction with Piasecki Aircraft of Essington, Pennsylvania, in a $77 million DARPA contract.

ARES is a 41-foot span, tiltrotorconfigured drone, with two ducted proprotors, each approximately 8 feet

ARES is a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) flight module designed to operate as an unmanned platform capable of transporting various payloads. The ARES VTOL flight module has its own power system, digital flight controls, and remote command-and-control interfaces. Twin tilting ducted fans provide efficient hovering and landing capabilities in a compact configuration, with rapid conversion to high-speed cruise flight. Missions for ARES might include cargo resupply, evacuation of casualties, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.

in diameter. These swiveling proprotors are embedded in a short fuselage, enabling ARES to take off like a helicopter; when the proprotors are tilted forward, it flies like an airplane. Cargo "plug-andplay� modules have been designed for the quick on- and off-loading of specific types of cargo.

Powering the lift of the 7,000pound maximum take-off weight will be two non-tilting Honeywell Aerospace HTS900 helicopter engines, each with 989 horsepower, allowing a top speed of 195 miles per hour. The earliest demonstrators will have a roundtrip mission range of 175 miles and fly as high as 20,000 feet.

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | FALL/WINTER 2017

ARES aircraft pose a very different future for the re-supply of forward areas. At present, large aircraft are often used to drop 10,000 pounds of supplies to a small unit. The problem is that having such a large amount of supplies makes the receiving unit much less mobile. Some part of it must be immobilized to secure the supplies.

ARES drops would be smaller, more flexible, and more frequent, facilitating the ability of the whole unit to move when necessary. Plus, units could direct flight modules using mobile phones or ruggedized tablets. As we went to press, ARES was currently in its

third and final development phase, and was about to make its first test flights.

A BRIGHT FUTURE The future of vertical lift is indeed bright: a sky filled with ingenious designs of vertical lift aircraft performing missions that once would have been impossible. So much has come, and will come, from ongoing research and development. As vertical lift aircraft become faster and quieter, can go longer, and operate more efficiently, the hard work of the FVL program will pay off for both the military and civilian sectors.

THE LOCKHEED TEST MARTIN C-130

WHEN HERCULES NEEDS HELP From Factory Floor to Hangar Door, the C-130 is Supported by a Global Network of Suppliers and Facilities

By John Likakis

A

t an age when most humans are thinking about retirement, the Lockheed Martin C-130 still works hard every day. And this is not referring to the C-130 just as a design. Some C-130s built in the mid-1950s are still in active service today.

As just one example, International Air Response, a company based in Mesa, Arizona, operates several original C-130A models. Considering that the C-130A went out of production in 1959, it is nothing short of amazing that these original airframes remain in service some 6 decades later.

As remarkable as this is, what makes it even more incredible is that the Hercules is not known for leading a cushy life. These aircraft

fly from all kinds of airstrips, under all kinds of conditions, hauling all kinds of loads. And they do so with a degree of reliability that is perhaps second to none in the world of military aviation.

The secret to keeping the Hercules hauling lies in the worldwide community of operators, suppliers, and manufacturers that take supporting of this airframe very seriously. A C-130 that is out of service is more than just a minor inconvenience. It can quite literally mean the difference between life and death, whether the mission involves hauling supplies in or taking people out of desperate situations.

depends on proper repairs with the correct parts. The C-130 is no exception, and Lockheed Martin has spent more than 60 years working in concert with both military and civilian C-130 operators to build a reliable network of repair stations and service centers around the globe.

The latest iteration of this network building is Lockheed Martin's Hologram Products program, which includes a dozen certified parts manufacturers. As partners under the program, these manufacturers work with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to ensure that parts and components are made using the correct drawings and materials.

This kind of cooperation is especially critical for certain components that require

Lockheed Martin's C-130 support starts on the factory floor. Some crucial or unique components are kept in excess stock specifically to handle customer needs out in the field.

Backed by a worldwide community of users and service centers, the C-130's dispatch reliability is outstanding, and few Herky Birds are grounded for very long due to a lack of parts.

Older models of the Hercules such as this MC-130E Combat Talon enjoy excellent support from Lockheed Martin and multiple vendors around the world.

specialized manufacturing processes.

According to Lockheed Martin, each Hologram certified part is inspected by an authorized source inspector before being released for use on an aircraft. This system provides parts and component support for Hercules models as old as the C-130B (which entered production in 1959) right up through the current C-130H and C-130J models.

Complementing the Hologram Certified Parts program are the Hologram Approved Repair Centers. These repair centers use

quality assurance procedures that accord with Lockheed Martin's specifications. In addition, all repairs are done using the most current, correct repair specs and approved Hologram parts.

Lockheed Martin's Hologram repair partners also must have any required special tooling needed to make repairs or overhauls, as well as required test equipment needed for post-repair inspection and certification.

At the time of this writing, Lockheed Martin has six companies that repair C-130s under the Hologram Program.

Some, such as Floats and Fuel Cells, specialize in specific areas (fuel cells, in this case). Others, such as Derco Repair Services, can take care of landing gear, instruments, and various accessories.

CUSTOM SUPPORT Just as each C-130 operator is different, each has its own specific needs when it comes to supporting aircraft. Certainly, Lockheed Martin has put a lot of thought, effort, energy, and time into building unique relationships with each operator. The

The C-130 has gained considerable fame for its routine supply flights to the South Pole. Indeed, whenever heavy resupply is needed in Antarctica, it is the Hercules that everyone turns to.

Back in 1971, a French survey team at a remote Antarctic site was This C-130, tail number 8321, suffered an accident while taking off near the South Pole. It was eventually buried in snow up to its vertical fin before being excavated, repaired, and recovered from the bottom of the world.

THE LOCKHEED TEST MARTIN C-130

In service around the globe for more than 60 years, the C-130 is a mainstay of many militaries. In fact, a reported total of 72 countries operate the C-130 in a variety of roles.

manufacturer also has developed close working relationships with C-130 supporting companies around the world.

Aero Precision, for example, provides military and commercial aviation maintenance and support for more than sixty countries, supplying OEM systems, spares, repairs, and modifications. The

company specializes in providing solutions specially tailored for each customer. So no matter what an operator is using their C-130 for, they can match the airframe's needs.

In addition, Aero Precision goes beyond the regular course of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) support. It works with OEM vendors, like Eaton Aerospace,

resupplied by a U.S. Navy C-130.

Unfortunately, the aircraft was seriously damaged, when, during takeoff, two of the rocket-power JATO bottles tore off the left side of the fuselage. One bottle rocketed straight up the tailpipe of the No. 2 engine, while the second bottle tore off the propeller of that engine. The crew aborted the takeoff, but the big bird was stranded a long way from anywhere. And there the C-130

would remain for more than 15 years.

It was not until the mid-1980s that a serious effort to recover the aircraft was mounted. By then, it had been buried in snow, leaving only the top of the tail exposed. Teams laboriously dug the aircraft out of the snow pack. Repair teams began working, and with aid and expertise from Lockheed personnel, the C-130 was restored to flight-worthy

Honeywell Defense and Space, UTC Aerospace Systems, and many others, to keep in stock components in anticipation of customer needs.

Aero Precision told Aviation Aftermarket Defense that it currently holds more than $100 million in components and spares in its active inventory.

Derco Aerospace is another

condition over the course of 2 years.

Finally, in January 1988, the Hercules flew from the crash site to McMurdo Station, then on to Christchurch, New Zealand, for final repairs.

While there are worse places for a U.S. Navy C-130 to get stuck, there are few so remote. But it is nice to know that, no matter where a Hercules might falter, support is both available and willing to help get it back in the air.

Some countries have large enough C-130 fleets and enough experience with the aircraft that they are largely self-supporting. The United States and the United Kingdom, for example, have operated the Hercules since the 1950s and handle their own maintenance and upgrades. Other countries, with only one or two aircraft, can turn to Lockheed Martin's various programs for support.

company that offers extensive Hercules support. Having joined the Lockheed Martin family when Lockheed Martin acquired Sikorsky Aircraft (Derco's parent company) in 2015, Derco uses sophisticated forecasting methods to predict demand for spares and services.

This, in turn, enables the company to effectively manage an inventory of more than 60,000 parts. As a part of the Lockheed Martin Hologram Products program, Derco is an approved repair center for the C-130H. And, of course, Lockheed Martin acts as a prime source of C-130 support services that range from minimal to total. Indeed, Tom Wetherall, Lockheed Martin's Director of C-130 Sustainment Business Development, told us that the company's expansive "arms around" support offering can take care of everything a C130 operator might ever needexcept for supplying the fuel and 40

the flight crew.

Some operators, such as the U.S. Air Force, are large and experienced enough that they have their own mostly selfsufficient support systems. But many smaller operators have neither the capital nor the inclination to build such institutional infrastructure. For them, the Arms Around approach makes perfect sense.

QUICK TURNS All this support capability sounds great, but the bottom line comes down to how quickly and effectively a broken Hercules can be returned to service. Having suppliers and MRO companies that can fix anything loses its appeal if it takes 6 months to get a fairly basic part, such as a nosegear steering valve.

Happily, the extensive network of C-130 operators, suppliers, repair and overhaul facilities, and

parts stockpiles means that most problems can be dealt with efficiently and quickly. Lockheed Martin's Wetherall says that response times for grounded aircraft typically average 24 to 48 hours. And with sixteen service centers around the world (fourteen focusing on airframes and two for engines), no broken Hercules should be forced to sit idle for very long.

In a very real sense, the C-130 has developed a global community. Operators, suppliers, MRO facilities, parts manufacturers, and Lockheed Martin have all come together to keep this venerable hauler plying the skies. And that's just one of the reasons why the Hercules remains a hero to so many people around the world.

Fighting Fire For years, private aerial firefighting have been effectively delivering fire retardant to areas ravaged by wildfires. The Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS) program was established in 1970. The civilian air tanker fleet has proven a valuable addition to the firefighting capabilities of the U.S. Forest Service, which oversees its use. The passage of time and the accumulation of flying hours, however, have been a constant concern.

The aircraft used in the program have primarily been retired military planes that were sold to private companies, many of World War II and Korean War vintage. The risks of using decades-old airframes for aerial firefighting are exemplified by the June 17, 2002 crash of a C-130A, while fighting a wildfire near Walker, California. The loss of "Tanker 130" and its three member crew was determined to have been caused by structural failure of the aircraft's wings.

In another tragedy, the owner of that aircraft, the Hawkins & Powers company of Greybull, Wyoming, suffered the loss of a second crew a month later. Its "Tanker 123," a World War II-era Consolidated-Vultee PB4Y-2 Privateer also suffered structural failure and crashed while fighting a fire near Estes Park, Colorado.

The verdict of structural failure as the cause of both accidents was established in a long and careful investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board.

These results led the U.S. Forest Service to far-reaching appraisal of its approach to aerial firefighting. In May 2004, the Forest Service cancelled its existing contracts with the operators of thirty-three civilian air tankers. Subsequently, it narrowed its pool of contractors to three companies, which now operate twentythree aircraft that are carefully inspected and maintained under strict new guidelines.

FRAZIER AVIATION, INC.

Messenger in the Sky Wired magazine called the Pennsylvania Air National Guard's EC-130J Commando Solo III "the Air Force's Secret PsyOps Plane." The EC-130J is a specially equipped aircraft capable of originating broadcasts over AM, FM, and high-frequency radio, as well as TV frequencies and protocols worldwide.

The Commando Solo has performed psychological and propaganda operations in combat zones in Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Middle East. But the same capabilities used to broadcast persuasions to Iraqi troops to surrender also can be used to share vital information in humanitarian crises.

The planes played a critical role after the disastrous 2010 Haiti earthquake. As part of the U.S. Air Force's earthquake-relief mission, Commando Solo planes operated from a base in Puerto Rico, broadcasting live Voice of America (VOA) call-in shows in Haitian Creole. During VOA breaks, the plane provided immediate aid information, giving emergency sanitation instructions, and directing citizens to food distribution centers.

Drones from Everywhere Currently, more than twenty nations are known to be designing and/or manufacturing UAVs for combat support or direct engagement. Although all the major arms trading nations are heavily involved, some of these countries are less often heard from as domestic aircraft producers.

As early as 10 years ago, Bulgaria's Armstechno designed, built, and flew the NITI light-weight reconnaissance and remote sensing drone. The company's later "Dulo" is a larger, sleek craft, reported to use hybrid electric/gasoline power and be capable of launching small missiles.

Turkey's locally developed and built Bayraktar TB2 UCAV is proving effective in service as part of the Bayraktar Tactical UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System). The craft has a wingspan of nearly 40 feet and is powered by an efficient, fuel-injected, 100-horsepower engine. It flew 24 hours and 34 minutes at 18,000 feet in August 2014, setting a record for autonomous flight endurance. It has demonstrated the ability to deploy and launch combat weapons.

Selex ES, in Italy, is producing its Falco remote sensing drones, originally for sale to Pakistan. Pakistan wanted the craft weaponized, but Italy refused.

Pakistan has independently produced its own line of UAVs, notably the Burraq, developed by NESCOM. The Burraq can fire missiles at both stationary and moving targets. These drones are now in active use.

FIRE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT FIRE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT & & OVERHAUL OVERHAUL AVOX SYSTEMS

Perpetually Parked In the mid 1970s, prior to the U.S. government's February 1978 ban on the sale and export of military materials to Libya, Lockheed sold eight C-130s to the Libyan government for $42 million. The company received the funds, but the ban went into effect before the planes could be delivered. So the eight Libyan C-130s were parked outdoors at Dobbins Air Reserve Base near the Lockheed plant in Marietta, Georgia, where they have remained ever since.

The Libyans had purchased several L-100s, the civilian version of the C-130, shortly after the 1969 military coup that brought Muammar Gaddafi to prominence in the north African nation. Those aircraft were modified overseas for military use and proved a bargain for the Libyan Air Force, which reportedly used several of them as late as 2009.

However, concerns about the stability and human rights record of the Gaddafi regime caused successive U.S. administrations to bar the subsequent sale. Then, in July 1986, the United States charged several individuals with conspiring to aid Libya's military in the acquisition of two additional L-100-30s (a stretched version of the L-100). The high-profile indictment detailed a scheme that involved the Libyan military using a "front" company to deceive Lockheed about the $57.4 million purchase and the destination of the aircraft.

The resulting controversy ended any chance of resolving the fate of the eight C130s at Dobbins until President George W. Bush normalized U.S. relations with Libya in May 2006. The president also waived a provision of the Arms Control Act to allow the manufacturer, now Lockheed Martin, to give the Libyans an estimate for repairing any damage the planes had sustained during their long years without maintenance. But the exchange of information did little to resolve the long-standing dilemma of what to do with the planes.

In the years since, the Libyan C-130s have outlasted the customer that originally purchased them. The outbreak of the Libyan Civil War in February 2011 led to the fall of the Gaddafi regime and the death of the former leader that October.

Tough Market The Mi-38 medium transport helicopter, designed by the experienced Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant, was certified for production and sale in December 2015. The craft is nearly 65 feet long and has a five-blade main rotor, with a diameter of just over 69 feet. It cruises at 180 mph and has a range of 570 miles carrying a load of 6,600 pounds.

These specs place the Mi-38 at an attractive point in both commercial and military markets. Yet new aircraft sales take time to develop, and the Mi-38 is entering a lucrative but extremely competitive market. The AgustaWestland AW101, the Sikorsky S-92, and several other craft are entrenched with highly developed maintenance support systems.

The Mi-38s greatest advantage may be its Transas Group highly automated glass cockpit avionics and control system. Both system and mission data are shown in full color, and many controls allow near push-button responses. While the success of the Mi-38 remains to be proven, Transas Group's future may be more assured. It offers advanced capabilities in aircraft avionics, achieving a significant position in a market projected to be $19.55 billion by 2018.

Sikorsky's Big Bomber Flying over combat below them at the beginning of World War I, pilots were itching to drop bombs on enemy equipment, emplacements, and personnel. But bombs are heavy. The best that their light, fragile planes could drop was a couple of hand grenades.

A solution inadvertently came when a young engineer with Russia's Russo-Baltic Railroad Factory designed the first four-engine aircraft—a tremendous leap in capability.

The designer was Igor Sikorsky, mainly remembered for his advances in helicopter design.

The 1913 aircraft design was intended as a commercial transport for passengers or cargo. For passengers, it had a see-through floor so they could marvel at the ground below. It even sported the first-ever airborne toilet.

The Russian military soon adapted the design as a heavy bomber: the Sikorsky Ilya Muromets (S-22 through S-27). They filled the fuselage compartment with bomb racks, mounted different combinations of guns and cannons, and armorplated the four engines, which were fitted with two-blade propellers and mounted between the upper and lower wings of the biplane.

The new model entered production in 1914, with at least eighty-five built.

Thereafter, Russia ruled this sphere of aerial attack for much of the war. It was challenged only by the introduction of the German Gotha in various forms in 1917, a design that borrowed heavily from Sikorsky's.
