This report documents the research and analysis conducted to (1) identify high-cost structural repair and maintenance items in existing U.S. military aircraft, (2) conduct a design study on means to reduce life cycle costs for a number of selected structural problems on fighter, bomber, and cargo/tanker class aircraft, and (3) to develop a design handbook to provide guidance and information on methods to reduce aircraft structure cost of ownership. This program was limited to existing military aircraft metallic-type structures since separate programs for adhesively bonded and advanced composite structure design and repair are being developed by the Structures Division (FBS) of the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory. The design handbook has been published as document No. AFFDL-TR-76-72, 'Aircraft Structural Design Handbook for Lower Cost Maintenance and Repair.' (Author)
