Operating Costs of Aging Air Force Aircraft

Abstract

As aircraft age, they generally become more expensive to operate. The rate at which those operating costs grow is important for setting operating budgets and for deciding when to replace aging systems. The faster costs grow as a system ages, the more funding will be needed to maintain existing aircraft and the sooner it becomes cost effective to replace aging systems with new aircraft.
