A laboratory fatigue test was performed on an E-2 fuselage to determine if it could sustain the effects of 3000 arrested landings and 4000 catapult launches. The right-hand keel beam failed after 4556 catapult test cycles. Using a test scatter factor of 2, this is equivalent to 2278 service catapult launches. The keel beam was repaired and modified and testing was continued until a total of 8000 catapult test cycles had been applied.
