22 Yet another one An aircraft must fly a 9-hour mission. (a) The aircraft has 3 engines. The two front engines, mounted under each wing, each has a failure rate of.0039 failures per flying hour when all three engines are operating and each has a failure rate of.02 failures per flying hour when the rear engine has failed. If either of the two front engines fail, then the other front engine must immediately be shut down otherwise the aircraft cannot be stabilized in flight. The rear engine has a failure rate of.0054 failures per flying hour when all three engines are operating and a failure rate of.012 failures per flying hour when the front engines have shut down. Find R(9) and the MTTF of the engine system for this situation.
