An experimental test program carried out within a larger damage tolerance evaluation of the fighter aircraft 37 Viggen is presented. The analytical part of the work is described in the companion paper. Emphasis is put on full scale spectrum testing of both a fighter version main wing attachment frame as well as the fin of the same aircraft version. The following conclusions are made: the tested components are damage tolerant during their original fail safe design lives; analytical methodology is verified both in terms of global and local stress levels and spectrum fatigue crack growth prediction capability; extended usage of this aircraft may be possible following further considerations.
