The criteria which presently determine the permissible use of composites in production aircraft and the adaptation of an existing framework of aircraft certification practices to the special characteristics of composites were described. Factors involving the scheduling of full-scale static and fatigue tests and their effect on the use of composites were discussed. Static and fatigue design and test loads were studied. Small and large scale element testing was covered. Some of the structural design problems and load/strain criteria were reviewed. Typical procedures governing the development and interpretation of design data, laboratory and flight tests were explained.
