STRUCTURAL FLIGHT LOADS DATA FROM JET-TANKER OPERATIONS

Abstract

Structural flight loads data from Strategic Air Command KC-135A aircraft performing normal aerial refueling missions and aerial refueling training flights are presented. The information gathered from this program will be used to verify or refine the load spectrum and should result in improved structural design criteria for future weapon systems. (Author)
