US Army CH-47 Hydraulic Systems

USA CH47 Hyd Page

ISSUE:
The US Army was experiencing issues with their hydraulic systems on their CH-47 (cargo) helicopters.
Issues included:

  • Uncommanded flight-control actuations
  • Large hydraulic fluid waste stream
  • High cost of asset ownership

MEASUREMENT ANALYSIS SOLUTION:
Sampling of hydraulic fluid from multiple in-field helicopters indicated that the root cause was that air and other contaminants were building up within the hydraulic systems.  A training video was produced to allow for all CH-47 operators to implement the solution worldwide.  The solution implemented provided the following benefits:

  • Eliminated uncommanded flight-control actuations
  • Improved operational performance for the CH-47 aircraft
  • Reduced hydraulic fluid waste stream
  • Reduced hydraulic fluid inventory required (footprint)
  • Reduced maintenance man hours
  • Increased readiness, reliability, and sustainability
