FALSTAFF (Fighter Aircraft Loading Standard for Fatigue Evaluation), a loading history standard pertaining to fighter aircraft wing bending primarily governed by maneuver loadings, is derived in order to evaluate the fatigue performance of structural materials and components and to establish fatigue design charts. The present report concerns a joint international development effort involving Dutch, German, and Swiss institutes. Details are presented with regard to the general development philosophy and data sources considered. The development procedures followed are summarized. The results of some preliminary validation tests are reported. (Author)
