Extract

Special reliability clauses have been introduced into a small minority of our contracts for military aircraft. This does not imply that reliability is otherwise ignored. Where operational requirements call for certain standards of reliability and where these are translated into equipment specifications or test schedules, the contract covers them in the same way as any other performance requirements. This has been particularly the case in contracts for aircraft engines.
