- Description
- The following six additional questions are added to the "Business Practices" section of the notice. Please provide your responses by July 31, 2PM Central. The USAF has identified operability of a twin engine pod configuration as a program risk, and we are considering mitigating that risk via engine OEM Flying Test Bed (FTB) program with support from the B-52 OEM, Boeing. 23. In addition to basic engine operability throughout the flight envelope, the B-52 has the added issue of engine operability in the disrupted airflow behind a large tanker aircraft during aerial-refueling. Are there any restrictions that would prohibit this type of testing, or other military-unique flight profiles (such as minimal interval take off (MITO) and tactical maneuvers) in your FTB? 24. What is the estimated lead time to modify/manufacture and install all the required hardware including OEM-owned engines on your FTB aircraft to support a FTB? Identify any Government Furnished Property you would require. 25. Once the FTB is modified, what is the estimated duration needed to execute an in-flight twin engine pod operability demonstration? Please include any assumptions in your response. 26. After the flight demonstration, how much time would you need to prepare a summary of results, conclusions and recommendations? 27. Based on your answers to the questions above, what would be a rough order of magnitude cost for such an effort (modification/manufacture, demonstration, and report)? 28. Please identify any other constraints or other issues affecting a twin-engine pod FTB program.
