Assuming a 50-h design goal for system design, and a 500-h design goal for airframe design, some of the systems contained within the Tarpon will fall short of their design goal; indeed primarily as a result of the extensive use of Teflon in the B-58 systems, some would malfunction after as little as one hour of nuclear flight. Systems which will require modification include the hydraulic system, pneumatic system, oil system, flight control system, and chemical engines. (ERA citation 09:049843)
