The life of a weapon system is influenced to a high degree by the structural integrity of the airframe. Numerous programs to ensure this have been established within NATO's Air Forces. Structural loads, leading to fatigue as well as corrosion, depending on the usage environment, are the major reasons for degradation of structures. The many different classes of loads, the generation of loading conditions during the design phase, as defined in the weapons systems specification, consideration of static and fatigue loads for structural lay-out and validation concepts are presented. The procedure of converting overall aircraft loads ('external loads') into individual component loads is shown in principal.
