Sortie Duration and Helicopter Component Failures (an Empirical Study)

摘要

This study investigates the effect that sorties, flying hours, and usage have on component failures for Army aircraft. The report documents the work done. It includes many graphs in the appendix depicting 20 years of 1352 flying hour data which may be useful in other research work. It shows no relationship between failures and flying hours, sorties, or utilization. (Author)
