Innovative Gas Turbine Engine Propulsion

The objective of this proposal is to define a program that will investigate the E-2C vibration and shock dampening side engine mount requirements and develop an innovative semi-active vibration and shock mount system for the E2C aircraft's side lateralmounts.Currently, there is no system available that incorporates both vibration nulling and appreciable shock alignment in a compact package. FFF is proposing an innovative hybrid MR concept that can meet the E-2C's requirements in a package that can withstandthe aerospace environmental conditions and the installation constraints.New semi active mounts can be used on many of the curent classes of aircrafts and helicopters. The combination of improving vibration isolation while maintaining static alingmentunder shock loads can be applicable to many commercial and miliatry programs including land vehicles and marime applications.
