Full Scale Fatigue Test
Abstract
Full Scale Fatigue Test efforts for the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye Program. The USN requires that a fatigue test be conducted on the E-2D aircraft to determine the design service life of the airframe. Durability testing is being performed on a test article that is representative of production aircraft. The objective of the 20,000 equivalent flight hours fatigue test is to identify fatigue critical locations, substantiate the 10,000 flight hours service life for the E-2D airframe fuselage and horizontal stabilizer, and demonstrate that the E-2D aircraft structure satisfies the program service life requirement.
