Flight Service Evaluation of Advanced Composite Ailerons on the L-1O11 Transport Aircraft.

Abstract

Four shipsets of graphite epoxy composite inboard ailerons were installed on L-1011 aircraft in March through May 1982 for a five-year maintenance evaluation program. These include two Delta aircraft and two TWA aircraft. A fifth shipset of composite ailerons were installed in 1980 on Lockheed's flight test L-1011.
