F 14

The advantages of re-engining the F-14 aircraft with the F110 engine is presented. The areas of improvement and the engine development philosophy are explained. A summary description of the pertinent engine design features of the F110 are presented. The flight test results on inlet/engine compatability, afterburner operation, airplane performance, and maintainability/reliability/durability are interpreted. Finally, a description of the proposed version of the F110 engine for the F-14 is presented.

Good Agreement

The first new load is the TRIO container that can be flown in three configurations with different heights. The second new load is a ribbon bridge interior bay section. Wind tunnel results with models of the new loads exhibit in general good agreement with flight-test results. The results of the new loads strengthen further the approach of using wind tunnel tests to accelerate slung-load clearance, as well as reduce risk and cost.
