reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA050164 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report presents flight usage data which is used for monitoring individual Blue Angel aircraft structural fatigue life. Data identify operational trends that are beneficialdetrimental to prolonging aircraft fatigue life. A total of 2700.4 hours of counting accelerometer data and 363.2 hours of oscillograph data were processed and are presented. This data provides the basis for flight spectra development of Blue Angel mission utilizations as well as information concerning point in the sky assumptions required for fatigue analyses.
