A-10 Static Structural Test Program.

Abstract

The Fairchild Republic Company A-10 aircraft was subjected to a complete static structural test program covering all the critical flight, landing, and ground handling conditions. There were 79 separate test conditionsin this test program. Four of these conditions were selected to be run as failing loads tests at the conclusion of the test program. There were no major structural failures of the primary structure. There were some failures and design deficiencies in secondary structure. (Author)
