The PW1120 engine is a turbojet derivative of the F100 turbofan engine that has accumulated more than 1.9 million flight hours in F-15 and F-16 fighters throughout the free world. Pratt & Whitney Aircraft (P&WA) initiated design and development of the PW1120 as a company sponsored military engine development program in 1980 and the program has progressed on schedule through more than 1,000 hours of development engine testing and Flight Clearance Testing. Performance goals and operational characteristics of the PW1120 engine at both sea level and altitude simulated flight conditions have been successfully demonstrated. This paper addresses the design characteristics of the PW1120 engine and its commonality with the F100 engine, and discusses those commonality benefits in terms of reliability, maintainability, safety, and logistics support. Development program plans, achievements, and applications for the PW1120 engine are also discussed. Flight Clearance of the PW1120 will be completed during the second half of 1984 with full qualification in late 1986. Production will start in early 1987. Initial application is in the Israel Air Force’s new indigenous fighter, the Lavi.

The Department of Defense and NASA have funded a major gas turbine development program, Integrated High Performance Turbine Engine Technology (IHPTET), to double the power density and fuel economy of gas turbines by the turn of the century. Seven major US gas turbine developers participated in this program. While the focus of IHPTET activity has been aircraft propulsion, the same underlying technology can be applied to water craft and terrestrial vehicle propulsion applications, such as the future main battle tank. For these applications, the gas turbines must be equipped with recuperators. Currently, there is no technology roadmap or set of goals to guide industry and government in the development of a next generation recuperator for such applications.

The intent of this publication is to provide an overview of the development of the VINCI® engine over the period 2014–2015. The VINCI® engine is an upper stage, cryogenic expander cycle engine. It combines the required features of this cycle, i. e., high performance chamber cooling and high performance hydrogen turbopump, with proven design concepts based on the accumulated experience from previous European cryogenic engines such as the HM7 and the VULCAIN®. In addition, its high performance and reliability, its restart and throttle capability offer potential applications on various future launcher upper stages as well as orbital spacecraft. At the end of 2014, the VINCI® successfully passed the Critical Design Review that was held after the major subsystem (combustion chamber, fuel and oxygen turbopump) had passed their own Critical Design Review all along the second half of 2014. In December, a Ministerial Conference at government level gave priority to the Ariane 6 program as Europe future launcher. In the framework of this decision, VINCI® was confirmed as the engine to equip Ariane 6 cryogenic upper stage engine. This publication shows how the VINCI development is progressing toward qualification, and also how the requirements of the new Ariane 6 configuration taken into account, i. e., offering new opportunities to the launch system and managing the new constraints. Moreover, the authors capitalize on the development already achieved for the evolution of Ariane 5. In parallel to completing the engine development and qualification, the configuration and the equipment of the propulsive system for Ariane 6 such as the components of the pressurization and helium command systems, board to ground coupling equipment, are being defined.

A comprehensive mechanical testing program was part of the development of the Diesel engine for the GEVO locomotive family. The test program has been developed under consideration of the demands of a railroad application. The program included both fired engine and component rig testing. Component rig tests were used to validate major components early in the design stage. Engine testing included measurements to validate the CAE models and allow detailed experimental development of components and subsystems. Several endurance runs have proven the reliability of the new engine.

Physical Preparation

Increased professionalism in rugby has resulted in national unions developing high-performance models for elite player development, of which physical preparation is an important component, to ensure success in future years. This article presents a 5-step framework for the physical preparation of elite players in a development program. Competition movement patterns and the physical profiles of elite players are used as the basis of the framework and reinforce the repeated high-intensity nature of Rugby Union. Physical profiling highlights a player’s strengths and weaknesses in the areas of strength, speed, endurance, and body composition. These qualities need to be managed with an understanding of their interaction. This framework should be implemented within the yearly plan to ensure that benefits are maximized from the training undertaken. The success of the framework in developing elite players’ progression can be evaluated using standardized physical, performance, and competency tests.

The Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) was originally developed as a gasoline outboard powered craft for surf zone rescue use by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution in the United Kingdom. The objectives were to provide a craft with extremely good stability characteristics to operate in steep onshore breaking waves without capsizing, and to improve the safety of operations alongside other vessels. Open ocean rescue and boarding applications were of interest to the U.S. Coast Guard because of the inherent stability and alongside safety of the RIB. Subsequent feasibility studies by the U.S. Navy indicated that the RIB would be superior in performance to the present 26-ft motor whaleboat, and could also reduce topside weight. The Navy opted for diesel inboard power for the RIB's designated to be carried aboard combatant ships. A diesel-powered RIB was procured for concept evaluation by the U.S. Navy, and has undergone a series of trials and tests to establish smooth-and rough-water performance characteristics. The data acquired confirmed the theoretical performance predicted during the feasibility studies. This first RIB was deployed on a U.S. Navy DDG-993 Class ship utilizing an existing single-point davit. During that deployment, the RIB was launched and retrieved successfully at ship's speeds up to 12 knots. Early indications are that this development program will result in a new ship's boat and an accompanying davit system which will provide the Fleet with a safe, high-performance craft which will greatly enhance operational capability and safety, and substantially reduce topside weight. The enthusiasm of test and Fleet personnel who have operated the RIB attests to its superior performance and to a high degree of probability for success of the program.

The Cost

2.5D and 3D packaging can provide significant size and performance advantages over other packaging technologies. However, these advantages usually come at a high price. Since 2.5D and 3D packaging costs are significant, today they are only used if no other option can meet the product requirements, and most of these applications are relatively low volume. Products such as high end FPGAs, high performance GPUs, and high bandwidth memory are great applications but none have volume requirements close to mobile phones or tablets. Without the benefit of volume production, the cost of 2.5D and 3D packaging could stay high for a long time. In this paper, we will provide cost model results of a complete 2.5D and 3D manufacturing process. Each manufacturing activity will be included and the key cost drivers will be analyzed regarding future cost reductions. Expensive activities that are well down the learning curve (RDL creation, CMP, etc.) will probably not change much in the future. However, expensive activities that are new to this process (DRIE, temporary bond/debond, etc.) provide good opportunities for cost reduction. A variety of scenarios will be included to understand how design characteristics impact the cost. Understanding how and why the dominant cost components will change over time is critical to accurately predicting the future cost of 2.5D and 3D packaging.
