A laboratory fatigue test was performed on a C-2A airframe to determine whether the airframe could sustain the effects of 3000 catapult launches. A total of 6000 catapult launch cycles were applied to the airframe with no structural failures. With a test scatter factor of 2, the 6000 test cycles are equivalent to 3000 service catapult launches. (Author)
