“We estimate 90 percent of an aircraft’s total ownership cost occurs after delivery. More than 30 percent of that is due to corrosion. Those costs escalate as the aircraft ages.”

- Naval Aviation Center for Rotorcraft Advancement (2013)

UH-60 Corrosion Prevention ImprovementsUH-60 Corrosion Prevention Improvements

Tr a n s m i s s i o n G e l g a s k e t s / S h i m s

• Similar to AvDec-type antenna gel gaskets, but non-conductive

• Gaskets Sandwiched between mag gearbox and FC rods

• Replaceable aluminum shims on feet and FC attachment

H V O F C h r o m e P l a t e R e p l a c e m e n t• Already on: main/tail landing gear, some FC servo rods

• Superior corrosion and wear properties over chrome plate

• Depot standing up repair capabilities

• Superior anodized coating compared to current Hex- chrome hazardous coating

• Includes 18 other Magnesium castings (all) in addition to MGB

• $2.5k price increase for production

TAGNITE Magnesium Anodizing

MGB Housing ImprovementsMGB Housing Improvements

• Add aluminum shims to mounting feet and control attachment locations (already a depot ORI)

• Removes “water trapping” pockets

Enhanced Scheduled Maintenance 2(ESM 2)

• Increase number of flight hours before PMI cycle by 33%. Provides an additional 240 FH per Phase Maintenance Cycle

• Decrease MMH/FH by 17% a savings of 0.47 MMH/FH• Decrease of 140 PMI 1’s annually across the Fleet• Decrease of 143 PMI 2’s annually across the Fleet• Annual reduction of 133,007 MMH. Produces a MMH annual cost savings fleet wide:

Military $4,921,259 or Contract Labor $6,223,398 savings due to reduced PMIs • Combined Teaming Effort – Approved by Sikorsky Engineering and AED• Parts costs savings. Ft Campbell AFMD, estimates PMI parts cost is $62,000.00 per PMI.

Which equates to $17,794,000.00 annual savings for the non-conduct of 287 PMIs• Total Savings

20 year fleet aircraft life cycle savings of 2,660,140 MMH

20 year cost savings at military OSMIS MMH labor rate = $98,425,180.00

20 year cost savings at Contractor MMH Labor rate = $124,467,950.00

20 year cost saving for parts = $355,880,000.00

Reduction of Soldier Burden, Decreased Cost, Increased Availability, More OPTEMPO
