Abstract
Discusses two measures, namely, maintenance free operating period (MFOP) and failure free operating period (FFOP) that are seen as the future reliability and maintenance measures. The concept of MFOP is a new reliability metric driven by the Ministry of Defence, UK, which is becoming popular among projects such as future offensive aircraft systems (FOAS), joint strike fighter (JSF) and ultra reliable aircraft (URA) etc. Analyses how these two measures can change the whole operation of military and commercial aircraft operations.
