Fatigue Test and Analysis of the F-100 Landing Gear. Volume III,

Abstract

The F-100 Aircraft Structural Integrity Program was designed to fatigue test the basic wing, fuselage and empennage structure of the air vehicle. In conjunction with these tests, actual nose and main gears were used as loading jigs to introduce ground loads into the structure. Consequently, the major portion of the test effort on the landing gear was completed on that program. The incomplete testing of the nose gear was concluded on the F-100 Landing Gear Fatigue Test Program. The results of the gear tests conducted on both programs are presented in this section of the report.
