MIL-HDBK-336/3, MILITARY HANDBOOK: SURVIVABILITY, AIRCRAFT, NONNUCLEAR, ENGINE (VOLUME 3) (04 FEB 1983)., This is the third volume in a four-volume design handbook for nonnuclear survivability of military aircraft. Each volume is structured to be used in conjunction with the other three volumes, as needed, in the design process. This volume is concerned with. the design of aircraft engines and their components to enhance aircraft system survivability against hostile nonnuclear weapon threats. The objective of Volume 3 is to provide a ready reference containing design information on military aircraft engine and propulsion system survivability. It contains data on design techniques to reduce visual, infrared, radar, and aural detectability; and projectile and high-energy laser vulnerability of military aircraft engines and engine installations. The design techniques discussed range from combat- and testproven systems, through development, laboratory, and breadboard equipment, to undeveloped concepts. Turbine engines are stressed, but piston engines are also presented.
