Additional information

Aeroengine overhauls can cost between hundreds of thousands to millions of pounds. This paper describes a new performance based technique, adaptation, to identify faulty components to enable a better focus of the repair effort. This is in use at Honeywell (an engine manufacturer/overhaul provider) where it has reduced post-overhaul engine failures and returns to the overhaul shop for further costly repairs.This work was a contributing factor to an improvement in the test pass-off rate from 55% to 90% at Honeywell.
