Embargo of aero or industrial gas turbine engines and their specially designed components which have been adapted for marine propulsion or shipboard power generation does not re-embargo (or embargo, for industrial gas turbine engines) the unmodified version of such engines and their specially designed components (see also Item IL 1460).
Shipboard power generation does not include offshore platform applications.
Not used.
Core-section modules and specially designed components covered by Item IL 1460 shall be treated under the provisions of that Item even if the gas turbine aero-engine has been modified for use in marine propulsion or shipboard power generation.
Aircraft and helicopters, aero-engines and aircraft and helicopter equipment, and technology therefor, as follows:
Note:
The provisions of this Item do not release technology for computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM); or technology relating to manufacturing equipment or hardware, embargoed by Items IL 1080, 1081, 1086, 1088, 1091, 1312, 1357, 1361, 1362, 1371, 1522, 1529 or any other Item, for the production or evaluation of aero-engines, APUs, "helicopter power transfer systems" or their specially designed components, or technology specific to production of superalloys as embargoed by Item IL 1301.
(a) Aircraft and helicopters, except those which do not contain equipment covered by the Munitions List or Items II/1485 or 1501 (unless the export of such equipment is eligible for national discretion treatment under IL 1485 and IL 1501) and which are of types which are in bona fide normal civil use;
(b) Technology for aircraft and helicopter airframes, for aircraft propellers, and for aircraft and helicopter airframe aircraft-propeller, and "helicopter-rotor-systems" components, as follows, and "specially designed software" therefor:
Technical Note:
"Helicopter-rotor-systems" consist of hubs, blades, blade attachments and upper controls. Upper controls are those control elements located in the rotating system including the swashplate if used.
(1) Design technology using computer-aided aerodynamic analyses for integration of the fuselage, propulsion system and lifting and control surfaces to optimize aerodynamic performance throughout the flight regime of an aircraft;
(2) Technology for the design of active flight control systems, as follows:
(i) Technology for configuration design for interconnecting multiple microelectronic processing elements (on-board computers) to achieve High-speed data transfer and high-speed data integration for control law implementation;
(i) Technology for control law compensation for sensor location and dynamic airframe loads, i.e. compensation for sensor vibration environment and for variation of sensor location from centre of gravity;
(iii) Technology for electronic management of systems redundancy and data redundancy for fault detection, fault tolerance and fault isolation;
Note:
This sub-item does not embargo technology for the design of physical redundancy in hydraulic or mechanical systems or in electrical wiring.
(iv) Technology for design of flight controls which permit in-flight reconfiguration of force and moment controls;
Technical Note:
Active flight control systems function to prevent undesirable aircraft motions or structural loads by autonomously processing outputs from multiple sensors and then providing necessary preventative commands to effect automatic control.
(3) Design technology for integration of flight control, navigation and propulsion control data into a flight management system for flight path optimization;
