In the present paper we are as a manufacturer of airliners, certified according to the FAR 25 regulations, describing what considerations in terms of design, sizing, verification, maintenance, etc., that are essential to ensure long term structural integrity. In the first part we are describing the main features of the design concepts of Saab 340 and Saab 2000 aircraft with respect to structural integrity and high reliability. Secondly we are describing the approach we have adopted at Saab Aircraft to ensure structural integrity and high reliability of Saab Aircraft products. We are describing the concepts of global and local loads and sequences, the fatigue and damage tolerance sizing and its verification. We are also describing the quality assurance in production and the structural maintenance programme according to the MSG-3. Structural repair and feedback from operators are also covered.
