Pressure‐cabin Fatigue: A Survey of the Problem and the Test Methods Developed at R.A.E.

Abstract

INTEREST in the fatigue of cabins of transport aircraft has increased considerably in the last year or so. Fatigue tests on a complete aircraft, undertaken as part of the Comet accident investigation, gave indications that the fatigue life of pressure cabins could be more critical than had generally been supposed.
