| Abstract | Time-on-wing (TOW) is a measure of the operational reliability of an engine (or aircraft system). The operational reliability falls short of the design reliability due to various constraints imposed on the modules of an engine. This shortcoming is even greater for military engines, because they are subject to more demanding performance and operability cycles. TOW is inversely proportional to operational availability and spare part inventory, hence there is a strong motivation to increase or restore the operational reliability. The two most common causes for the low Time-On-Wing of military engines are Foreign Object Damage (FOD) and module replacement due to life limits. While there is little we can do about FOD, we can reduce the module replacement frequency by applying reliability centered maintenance (RCM) concepts; specifically, the concept of module matching (or module alignment) to extend TOW and reduce the engine rejection (or removal) rate. Module matching is an optimization technique that matches the remaining life of engine modules whenever an engine is in the shop to be built up. A module matching tool has been developed and tested on a fleet of active fighter engines of the Royal Air Force (RAF) of United Kingdom. The results of this field test are presented in this paper. The results also show that the TOW extension and its benefit are significant even in a period as short as 12 months. By doubling (or tripling) the TOW, the RAF can realize a significant cost benefit and increase engine/aircraft availability. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
