Performance deterioration in the JT9D-7 is a flight sensitive phenomenon caused by one short term and two long term wear modes. The short term deterioration occurs primarily during airplane acceptance testing and therefore does not affect airline operation. The long term wear takes place continuously over the engine life so that the performance loss can be minimized by a sound maintenance program. Short term deterioration is primarily due to flight load induced blade and gas path seal wear which result in increased gas path running clearances. The wear occurs in all engine modules but has the most deleterious effect on the low pressure compressor and high pressure turbine performance. The wear occurs during conditions that combine minimum axisymmetric running clearances and maximum engine distortion or asymmetric closure.
