Economics is the key issue in a discussion on the inspection of aging aircraft. The airline industry has taken heavy losses resulting in layoffs and bankruptcies in recent years. Improving air service to customers is the ultimate reason for conducting research on the effects of aging on aircraft, but cost must be taken into account for the effective implementation of inspection programs. These papers present state of the art research to predict, detect, define, and correct the effects of age and usage on the metals and materials used in construction of aircraft and powerplants. Individual papers are abstracted separately.
