The problems of aging aircraft are worldwide. Hence, actions to overcome or prevent these problems should be taken in international collaboration. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Netherlands Civil Aviation Department (RLD) have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation in the area of structural safety, with specific reference to research on problems of aging aircraft. This paper gives an overview of the research currently carried out at the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR). The major point is done under contracts with RLD and FAA, within the framework of the cooperation agreement mentioned above.
