This document is prepared for presentation at the 28th Conference of the International Committee on Aeronautical Fatigue, scheduled to be held in Lucerne, Switzerland, 5-6 May 2003. A review is given on the work carried out in Sweden in the area of aeronautical fatigue during the period from June 2001 to April 2003. The review includes aircraft loading actions, basic studies of fatigue development in metal and composites, stress analysis and fracture mechanics, studies of crack propagation and residual strength, testing of joints and full-scale structures, and fatigue life predictions. A reference list of relevant papers issues during the period covered by the review is included.
