MANUFACTURING VARIED MOUNTING DISCS Nearly a hundred rigid mounting discs support scaling rings within the complex major fatigue test rig at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, in which a complete Concorde airframe is being subjected to the structural and thermal load environment experienced by this aircraft in service. Up to 5ft in diameter, each disc has a different curvature. As with the specimen, so these discs also have to undergo the stresses caused, in service, by taxiing, take-off, landing and flight, together with the internal loadings imposed by cabin pressurisation, air-conditioning and fuel handling.
