A Presentation of the Fail-Safe Concept including the Design as it Applies to a Crack-Free Life, Corrosion Prevention, Simplified Inspection and Repair, and Safety after Failure. IN designing a new aircraft structure, the principal concern is to ensure that structural failure docs not occur during any stage—taxying, taking-off, climbing, cruising, descending, landing—of any flight. This concern is not only for the safety and well-being of the travelling public but also for the economics of airline operation, since the operator demands a long working life from his aircraft, and a good re-sale value.
