A full scale static and flight simulation fatigue test program was performed on the airframe of the Fokker 100 to show compliance with the requirements of the airworthiness authorities regarding static strength and damage tolerance of a new design. The aircraft was split up into a number of specimens, each constituting a major assembly of the total airframe. The tests carried out on one of the specimen (the horizontal stabilizer) are described. The design of the test rig and the load introduction system, the loading program for static and flight simulation testing, the load control during testing, and the various measurements are discussed. The preliminary testing results are presented.
