A major problem .with the -37';engine, oil in the pressurization
bleed air, has not appeared an the -31 to date. The use of various
filters to alleviate this problem with the -37 did not eliminate enough
of the oil in the air. As a result of this, flexible cones are being
installed on -,the'iame les which prevent the depositing of an oil film
on either the inside surface of the -hatch window or the outside surface
of the first lens.
Temperative measurements during flight on the inside surface of
the hatch windows indicate that they may be close to the equipnent
bay dew point under adverse conditions. heaters are being made to
alleviate this in case it proves necessary.?
The cockpit and 'equipment bay have been modifiedas a result of
flight test in order to provide temperature conditions in the bay
suitable to the equipment. -
The C-h7 assigned to the project is currently flight testing
System II on cross country ;Junket* to check out both the; Seal Beath
facility and the proposed; operational equipment. :It is contemplated
that. System III 10111 also be flight tetted in this aircraft. =
EQUIRIENT SUMMARY' -
This concerns only aircraft. 341 through 360. Since the last
report there have been a -few ;changes .in the type, weight and delivery
dates .of the equipment being procurred for this group ofairplanes-.
Figure 1 shows the current picture of. the equipment status. .The
. -
primary changes are as follows:
Sextants have been added, to all aircraft. This is a
factory installation from aircraft 3119 and up. It has
been and is being accomplished by 41. field modification
to all others.
A weather'instailation-his been made of units provided
for detachment- A:_airtraft
. An installation is being, designed for use in the
equipment, bay. It is, to be completely integral with the
? lower hatch.
Cameras B '84 C, Systeme & Ill, nd ARZ,-56 have.
scheduling
scheduling changet .Which reflect their Current status.-
,
System II has grown tremendously in weight since .thel,last:
report wherein it was estimated to be 60 pounds. The
following table indicates its present Configuration,
which is obviously completely contrary to our former plans.

AIRCRAFT IfilEICHT -
The basic aircraft weight situation is outlined on page 5. The
weight of this aircraft is still going up, primarily due to added or
overweight equipment. This growth must be stopped or the basic mission
of the aircraft will be degraded. Note that the aircraft gross weight
for the zero fuel condition has increased as much as 2119 pounds since
the last report.
