How Do Aircraft Break Down? Some Studies of Reliability Data Feedback

Abstract

The astronomical costs of poor reliability in both military and civil aircraft have led to increased efforts by designers and operators to improve reliability. One of the most powerful ways of doing this is to examine the good and bad points of current aircrafts' performance to see where improvements may be made. This process is heavily dependent on the quality of reliability information available to the industry.
