Energy model of change in technical condition of aircraft power plants and space propulsion systems

Abstract The publication describes an example of the energy model of change in the technical condition of aircraft power plants and space propulsion systems, which enables to shape their dependability by simultaneously ensuring the safety of flight operations and more economical operation. The approach presented in this publication has a significant research value as regards widening knowledge on shaping dependability of power plants. Further research on developing the diagnostic energy model of aircraft power plants and space propulsion systems should involve implementing in their complex structural systems the elements of artificial intelligence based on expert systems or artificial neural networks.
