(1) While it had no engine, the airframe was in good shape so Bill bought the plane and had it hauled to Dallas where an engine and prop were installed.(2) On the other hand, the airframe damage to the aircraft belly was considerable.(3) A decision was made to flight-test the airframe , but without the jets.(4) Little, if anything, was done to preserve the airframe but the engine was kept in running condition.(5) For many of these installations, no actual modifications to the airframe or engine need to be performed.(6) The facility was engineered to apply a specific load test to the airframe of the aircraft in a controlled environment.(7) Both the wings were torn off and the engine separated from the airframe .(8) It was determined that airfreight would minimise the risk of further damage to the airframe and return the aircraft in a controlled environment.(9) The crew chief and his crew members maintained the airframe , engines, controls, and accessory systems.(10) We'll stick with the more conveniently acquired aircraft that can actually be bought and flown as if they're normal aircraft because their engines and airframes are fairly easily supported.(11) In the late 1990s Honda was developing turbine engines for aircraft, and composite airframes .(12) Maintainers explain that after each flight, they have to rinse the saltwater off the airframes and engines, and every 30 days they thoroughly wash the helicopters.(13) The first 22 airframes - 14 flyable aircraft and eight nonflying ground-test articles - will be built on that assembly line during the current phase of the program.(14) Rand also has completed extensive research in identifying those explanatory variables that are of most significance when developing regression models for aircraft airframes .(15) As long as the airframes and engines are well maintained, the age of the aircraft doesn't matter.(16) When expeditionary forces are on the move, aircraft maintenance assures that airframes can maintain the force flow required by the war fighter.
