Aircraft Structural Testing
by Roy Park, Managing Director and Site Manager, Moog Australia.Fatigue testing is a critical requirement for military aircraft to determine the life span of safe, economical service and extend the fleet beyond the specified flying hours. This testing can save governments many millions of dollars by delaying the purchase of replacement aircraft
Let me provide some background on the challenges associated with this testing. You may think that one set of tests can be used for a particular aircraft around the world. Unfortunately, the mission profiles and usage varies significantly between countries such that individual testing is normally required to determine a safe life span and the extended operating hours.
