An examination of the advantages of fail safe design and present non-destructive testing techniques, and the importance of facilitating inspection at the design stage. THE introduction to this paper justifies in depth the case for fail safe philosophies in aircraft structural design. The advantages include improved safety, weight savings, the full availability of the potential fatigue life of each individual aircraft in the fleet, protection against accidental damage in service and manufacturing errors, together with a good resale value.
