The application of reliability analysis methods to the estimation of probable aircraft structural fatigue performance was investigated. Use was made of order statistics to establish the means of assessing the fatigue performance reliability of a fleet or number of fatigue-exposed details. A reliability analysis plan for application to aluminum alloy structural fatigue performance was developed and compared with the current fixed-scatter-factor procedure for determining the safe life of a structural detail.
