Abstract
Abstract : Tests conducted consisted of subjecting the RJ43-MA-11 engine to accelerated storage under severe environmental conditions and long-term storage under actual tactical environment conditions. Effects of the environmental tests on engine performance and structural integrity were evaluated by a comparison of pre- and post-storage power control system calibration data, by an engine combustion performance test, and by complete disassembly and inspection of the test items for any signs of deterioation. The accelerated storage test imposed such severe and unrealistic environmental conditions on two test engines that the function and structural integrity of the engines were impaired to the point that the test program was redirected with approval by the Air Force. The accelerated storage test was beneficial in that it pointed out areas in which design changes could be effected to provide a satisfactory level of corrosion resistance in the RJ43-MA-11 engine.
