Effect of Aging Aircraft Structures on Magnesium Parts


Book Description

The forms in which magnesium alloys may be encountered are castings, extrusions, forgings, and sheet. The alloys commonly used in aircraft structures in the various forms and the effects of the aging treatment are discussed under separate headings below.







Aging of U.S. Air Force Aircraft


Book Description

Many of the aircraft that form the backbone of the U.S. Air Force operational fleet are 25 years old or older. A few of these will be replaced with new aircraft, but many are expected to remain in service an additional 25 years or more. This book provides a strategy to address the technical needs and priorities associated with the Air Force's aging airframe structures. It includes a detailed summary of the structural status of the aging force, identification of key technical issues, recommendations for near-term engineering and management actions, and prioritized near-term and long-term research recommendations.

New Materials for Next-Generation Commercial Transports


Book Description

The major objective of this book was to identify issues related to the introduction of new materials and the effects that advanced materials will have on the durability and technical risk of future civil aircraft throughout their service life. The committee investigated the new materials and structural concepts that are likely to be incorporated into next generation commercial aircraft and the factors influencing application decisions. Based on these predictions, the committee attempted to identify the design, characterization, monitoring, and maintenance issues that are critical for the introduction of advanced materials and structural concepts into future aircraft.
