The Coordinating Research Council (CRC) offers the Aviation Industry an important forum to assess technical issues relating to aviation engines, airframes and fuels to promote flight performance and reliability across the world. As part of CRC activities, specific projects are sponsored to help the Industry gather data, undertake research and gauge technical impact. The current report relates to CRC Project AV14-11 which seeks to investigate aviation turbine (jet) fuel lubricity, bringing together a broad range of historical, current and specification knowledge. This is a particularly wide field of activity and focus has been placed on gathering data in 4 key areas: (2) To identify which components in aircraft fuel systems/engines are most at risk from lubricity related wear problems. (2) To critically assess the test methods available to measure lubricity with respect to aviation fuel system applications. (3) Compare Defence Standard and ASTM approaches to jet fuel lubricity control for the current and potential future market. (4) Assess the control of lubricity in synthetic jet fuel components detailed in ASTM D7566.
