Structural safety is an evolutionary accomplishment, and attention to detail design features is key to its achievement. A multitude of design considerations are involved in ensuring the structural integrity of Boeing jet transports that have common design concepts validated by extensive analyses. tests. and three decades of service. The active service life of commercial airplanes has increased in recent years as a result of increasing costs and delivery times for fleet replacements. As airplanes approach their design service objectives, the incidences of fatigue and corrosion may become widespread. Continuing airworthiness of the aging jet fleet requires diligent performance from the manufacturer, the airlines, and airworthiness authorities. Boeing continually reviews reported service data and other firsthand information from customer airlines to promote safe and economical operation of their worldwide fleets. Standard practices of ensuring continuing structural integrity include basic inspection and overhaul recommendations contained in maintenance manuals and service bulletins.
