Tjalsma, C.R. Institution National Aerospace Laboratory NLR Date 1986-07-23 Abstract In terms of fatigue life consumption the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) is by now one of the leading operators of the Westland Lynx helicopter. Consequently,, the RNLN feels a growing need to gain more insight into the Lynx fatigue loading environment. The topic of Lynx engine loading is subject of a RNLN funded NLR research programme aimed at investigating the possibility of continuous and automated monitoring of engine fatigue damage accumulation based on the Rolls- Royce Cyclic Life Control concept. A pilot flight test programme has been carried out, the results of which are being used for the development of a usable Lynx engine in-flight data processor. Such a device will provide valuable information on RNLN Lynx engine service loading and may be the basis of computerized Cyclic Life Control within the RNLN in future. This paper will generally describe major topics of the above programme.
