Many of the aircrafts that form the backbone of the US Air Force operational fleet are 25 years old or older. A few of these will be replaced with new aircrafts, but many are expected to remain in service an additional 25 years or more. This book provides a strategy to address the technical needs and priorities associated with the Air Force’s aging airframe structures. It includes a detailed summary of the structural status of the aging force, identification of key technical issues, recommendations for near-term engineering and management actions, and prioritized near-term and long-term research recommendations.
