3.2.2.11 Inlet airflow distortion. (Page 17)
The engine shall not surge, stall, flameout, or incur any damage with the steady-state or time
variant inlet distortion (pressure, temperature, or any combination of both) shown on figure 13.
The aerodynamic interface plane shall be defined as (a). Engine stability and performance
assessments shall use the methodology and inlet distortion descriptors defined in (b) for total
pressure distortion. Temperature distortion methodology and the methodology for combination
of both pressure and temperature distortion shall be specified.

3.3.2.3 Ice ingestion. (Page 19)
The engine shall operate and perform per table IX, during and after ingestion of hailstones and
sheet ice at the take-off, cruise, and descent aircraft speeds. The engine shall not be damaged
beyond field repair capability after ingesting the hailstones and ice.
(Page 210 Ref)
3.3.2.4 Sand and dust ingestion.
The engine shall meet all requirements of the specification during and after the sand and dust
ingestion event specified herein. The engine shall ingest air containing sand and dust particles
in a concentration of (a) mg sand/m3 . The engine shall ingest the specified coarse and fine
contaminant distribution for (b) and (c) hours, respectively. The engine shall operate at
intermediate thrust for TJ/TFs or maximum continuous power for TP/TSs with the specified
concentration of sand and dust particles, with no greater than (d) percent loss in thrust or power,
and (e) percent gain in specific fuel consumption (SFC). Helicopter engines shall ingest the 0-80
micron (0 - 3.15 x 10-3 in.) fine sand and dust of table XXXV in a concentration of 53 mg/m3
(3.3 x 10-6 lb/ft3 ) air for 54 hours and 0-1000-micron coarse sand and dust in table XXXV for
50 hours and inspection shall reveal no impending failure.

3.6.2 Vulnerability. (Page 24)

3.6.2.1 Ballistic weapons.
The engine, including externally mounted components, shall tolerate ballistic weapon threats as
follows: (Page 294 Ref)
3.6.2.2 Nuclear weapons effects.
The engine shall have the following operational capabilities and balanced hardness, in a nuclear
environment that includes blast and gust, dust, thermal, transient radiation effects, and
electromagnetic pulse:

3.6.2.4.1.1 Fuel ingestion - cooling air contamination.
Contamination of engine internal cooling air from fuel ingestion shall not degrade engine life nor
engine parts life below that specified in 3.4.1.1.
(Page 303 Ref)
3.7.11.1 Water injection system fluid.
For engines that use a water injection system, the engine shall meet all requirements specified
herein with the water solution consisting of distilled or demineralized water and contaminated up
the following levels:

4.11.1.2 Altitude test. (Page 54 with details)

The performance requirements of 3.2 shall be verified by test. An engine conforming to the
same parts list and configuration as the endurance test engine of 4.11.1.1, per 4.12.3.2, shall be
subjected to altitude tests at several selected conditions within the operating limits envelope
specified in figure 6 (PT1 and TT1). Pre-test data shall be per 4.12.4.1.1. The test points shall
include the effects of power extraction, bleed air extraction, inlet recovery, inlet distortion,
anti-icing or de-icing, and wind milling on engine performance and operability. No adjustments
shall be made to the engine without approval of the Using Service. The altitude tests shall be
accomplished using the fuels and oils of 3.7.3.1.1 and 3.7.8.1, respectively. Fuel temperature
shall be varied over a range sufficient to encompass all anticipated engines operating
environments. If the engine has a continuous ignition system, it shall be in operation at all times
after the start sequence has been completed. Data to be taken and recorded during the test
shall be as specified in 4.12.4. Overall true root mean square (RMS) velocity measurements
and acceleration spectrograms shall be obtained for each transducer mounted on the engine
case and engine gearbox case at the engine speeds and thrusts or power settings selected for
the test. The points selected shall include at least the altitude representative points and the
point in the complete environmental conditions and operating envelope where the highest
engine vibration levels are generated. Critical components of the engine shall be identified on
each spectrogram.
A.3.1.1.7 Bleed air interface.
The engine shall provide customer bleed air extraction for aircraft use. The capabilities and
maximum flow of each bleed port, including the acceleration or start bleed air ports, shall be as
shown in ___(a)___. Bleed duct external surface temperatures shall meet the requirements of
3.1.8.2. The bleed port internal pickup points shall be located at positions which have low
susceptibility to FOD, and ingestion of sand, dust, ice, moisture, and any other foreign materials
contained in the air. Provisions shall be made to prevent high-pressure bleed air from entering
lower pressure bleed ports. A failure in the air vehicle bleed system shall result in __(b)____
engine operation. If compressor venting is necessary, the temperature, pressure and airflow
inflow and outflow conditions for which venting provisions must be made shall be specified in
___(c)____. The ducting attachment detail shall be shown on the engine interface and
installation drawings.
