Airframes and Engines Division Aeronautical and Maritime Research Laboratory DSTO-RR-0208 ABSTRACT Many changes in the design and manufacturing of high-performance military aircraft-for example, the use of highly optimised design and the use of higher-strength material-have led to an increased sensitivity of airframe fatigue life to surface features such as corrosion or mechnical damage.
