AN ANALYSIS OF FATIGUE LOAD METER RECORDS FOR LIGHTNING FAW Mks.1 AND 1A AIRCRAFT IN R.A.F. SQUADRON USE

Abstract

Fatigue load meter records covering 4315 hours flying by 37 Lightning FAW Mks.1 or 1A aircraft in R.A.F. Squadron use up to February, 1962 have been analysed and load spectra have been drawn for six different types of flying and for all the flying combined. Comparison is made with the load spectrum from which the loading applied in a fatigue test on the wing was derived.
